In the rain, hoping that you don't drown

Wanna rule the world, but you've never been crowned

Bottles for the main ones that are still down

Mama, I'm sorry that I'll never be that son you wanted

Never be that guy who gon' do it for numbers

Never be that guy who gon' listen to others

Always trusting in the man who's watching above us

Dropped the school, they say it's wrong, I said it's meant for me

They teach you history, but not how you make history

Living savage 'cause tomorrow's never guaranteed

Fighting against some obstacles, it feels like a felony

Enemies on enemies, enemies on enemies

Why I'm following these rules when I could be free?

Free from pain, free to love, free from bars

Free from bills, free from drugs, free from scars, yeah

Sometimes it's hard for me to stay positive

The other day you're suffering pain, the next you're popping shit

What I've learned is take nothing for granted before you lose it

Give me your hands, follow me, I'll show you how to be ruthless

In the rain, hoping that you don't drown

Wanna rule the world, but you've never been crowned

Running on the same things since you've been down

Down, down

Step on the brakes for the fakes

But bottles for the main ones that are still down

Down, down, down

I'm sorry, but I'll never be the son that you've envisioned

Never did I act on one than what you

Have been thinking 'bout my conduct

Attitude is not for lacking gratitude for sun up

Lights them for the light skinned and front them back like nunchucks

Losing my religion, I've been gone for a minute

Out here in the city, ain't been home, gotta get it 'fore I'm resting

Big man crib, this ain't Western

Take my shit, cold gold Smith & Wesson

Four-four go rat-tat-tat, solo hold my habitat

Don't buy that, though you done told

Me better, but I ain't having that

Yet all I really wanna do is make you proud

Guess the neglect I faced as a child don't raise me wild

These crossroads full of tire marks of lost souls

Who came across those lying dogs that bark gold

But never really started

I've been lacking guidance, seeing temptations since the day we parted

In the rain, hoping that you don't drown

Wanna rule the world, but you've never been crowned

Running on the same things since you've been down

Down, down

Step on the brakes for the fakes

But bottles for the main ones that are still down

Down, down, down, down

In the rain, hoping that you don't drown

Wanna rule the world, but you've never been crowned

Running on the same things since you've been down

Down, down

Step on the brakes for the fakes

But bottles for the main ones that are still down

Down, down, down, down
