02 WALKING IN THE RAIN

Yes… Feels so right… Been a long time coming…

(…walking in the rain …walking in the rain/)

HOOK:
I’m walking in the rain not giving a damn if I get drenched/
so much pain down this long hard road, but I represent/
when I’m gone or in a place where there’s no measuring time/
I’ll leave a little something here for you to remember me by/
I’ll leave a little something here for you to remember me by/
when I’m gone or in a place where there’s no measuring time/
so much pain down this long hard road but I represent/
…walking in the rain not giving a damn I’m getting drenched/

VERSE 1:
Get the mind and inhale before I start to spit/
target the mic and take aim like an archer fish/
whack emcees barely flow, man y’all a faucet drip/
see - Hiphop needs the real deal, not a parlor trick/
people trying to pay their bills & see their babies growing up/
goin’ nuts - work, pay bills, and die? There’s more to us/
ain’t no human being illegal on the whole planet/
we’re dying, trying to find a better life - it’s so tragic/
our so-called leaders acting sociopathic/
ain’t trying to give up their power, they stone cold addicts/
it’s the hard knock life, we need a Jay Hova/
recovering rage-a-colic trying to stay sober/
Earth’s getting hotter and emotions getting way colder/
man, we train soldiers to just obey orders/
see - if we don’t come together, it’s game over/
man, I need some fresh air, where’s my rain coat at?/

HOOK:
I’m walking in the rain not giving a damn if I get drenched/
so much pain down this long hard road, but I represent/
when I’m gone or in a place where there’s no measuring time/
I’ll leave a little something here for you to remember me by/
I’ll leave a little something here for you to remember me by/
when I’m gone or in a place where there’s no measuring time/
so much pain down this long hard road but I represent/
…walking in the rain not giving a damn I’m getting drenched/

BREAK:
Goin’ against the grain like when I be shaving up/
these facts keep telling your feelings they never gave a ____/
and they never will/
so you better chill/
you forget the drill?
it’s a test of will/
gotta train insane ‘fore you flex the skill/
get back to the lab/
with a pen and a pad/
gotta put down your phones and commence to build/

VERSE 2:
Man, we’re fearfully great and sometimes so afraid to shine/
taking big risks, go home unless you came to grind/
write down your plans, first draft - you better take your time/
you can be wrong and learn from it, then change your mind/
it can be a beautiful thing to learn you’re dead wrong/
and apologizing doesn’t make you weak it helps you get strong/
used to have many friends, now most of them gone/
you spit that ill regular and you get slept on/
like a Tempurpedic, and you best believe it/
word to the US born crises west of Egypt/
man, I spit the truth with every breath I’m breathing/
high pain migraine, gettin’ extra weeded/
pissing off Facebook until I get deleted/
got a dot com, so that ain’t much to threaten me with/
salteña Sundays with the ones I’m meant to be with/
Bonez cookin’ up a storm and hell yes - it’s vegan/

HOOK:
I’m walking in the rain not giving a damn if I get drenched/
so much pain down this long hard road, but I represent/
when I’m gone or in a place where there’s no measuring time/
I’ll leave a little something here for you to remember me by/
I’ll leave a little something here for you to remember me by/
when I’m gone or in a place where there’s no measuring time/
so much pain down this long hard road but I represent/
…walking in the rain not giving a damn I’m getting drenched/

VERSE 3:
These rappers quittin’ after two verses, … what in the blue curses?/
my words flow and connect, see I can use cursive/
I got dos idiomas, I type with ten fingers/
got a big dictionary… that you don’t wish to carry/
your flow’s basic, you’re not a visionary/
my flow sick son - compare to dysentery/
shout out to Komplex, spittin’ that mad cow/
you ordered crazy beef, now you lichen’ sad clown/
what in the Arthur Fleck? …these wanna-be Jokers/
this is art, respect! - your focus needs focus/
you’re Mr Han training… that means you “jacket off” (jack it off)/
my hands touch the mic, and it comes to life/
I’m not slowing, so one mo’ ‘gain/
like Neil DeGrasse Tyson interrupting Joe Rogan/
I keep the flow going like plant-based arteries/
music store open twenty four seven, NO closing/

BRIDGE:
(…walking in the rain …walking in the rain/)
They afraid of slow and steady hard work so they take the fast route/
(…walking in the rain …walking in the rain/)
And you can try to fit in with the crowd or you can stand out/

HOOK:
I’m walking in the rain not giving a damn if I get drenched/
so much pain down this long hard road, but I represent/
when I’m gone or in a place where there’s no measuring time/
I’ll leave a little something here for you to remember me by/
I’ll leave a little something here for you to remember me by/
when I’m gone or in a place where there’s no measuring time/
so much pain down this long hard road but I represent/
…walking in the rain not giving a damn I’m getting drenched/

END:
They afraid of slow and steady hard work so they take the fast route/\
(…walking in the rain …walking in the rain/)
And you can try to fit in with the crowd or you can stand out/
(…walking in the rain …walking in the rain/)
