In My Rain

I was thinking all night

How I worked all day

Wrote a lot of songs

And my dues got paid

I should've gave up

Should've ran away

Got a little love

Got a lot of pain

But there's no escape

From this escapade

Tell me how will it all culminate

The game don't play

So don't play this game

All these tears couldn't douse my flame

Standing in my rain

Before this shit erupts and people say "He bit the dust"

Everyday I'm living with this feeling that I missed the bus

I know I'm dope though my salary's low

Every time I wanna quit, got no towel to throw

Yo, it's a fact I'm not attractive to the mass appeal

Been around the map and still looking for my happy meal

I stay rapping still thinking that I'm all that

Until I take that long nap pushing up the daffodils

Uh, I do this shit without clout

Self doubt keeps me humble but it never helps out

A nervous wreck man, I'm a mess the whole day

Taking Lexapro hoping that the stress will go away

Aye, they ask me how it hang bro

Tell them that you can't tie a knot to a rainbow

You know the same old trying to play the game though

We're all a bunch of lost sailors floating on the same boat

I was thinking all night

How I worked all day

Wrote a lot of songs

And my dues got paid

I should've gave up

Should've ran away

Got a little love

Got a lot of pain

But there's no escape

From this escapade

Tell me how will it all culminate

The game don't play

So don't play this game

All these tears didn't douse my flame

Standing in my rain

I'm not from Cleveland but I must be cavalier

These puddles my souvenirs

All my peers didn't hear

All the tears, all the years

Revenues never grew

Idle hands, devil's tools

And I'm target on Saturday

I can't fluff a pillow out these accolades

My eye might crack, leak, I might snap tweet

Cause last week made less than athlete, it's whack, beat me

I got the self confidence to go win the rap beef

And the self consciousness to show ugly bad teeth

Plus album after album I keep waiting like "Oh here we go"

Nope, not any bigger than I was ten years ago

Never half-ass, I full donkey my material

Only bunch of zeros in my cereal, my Cheerios

Yeah we know, another sob story, odds blurry

Still rushin', I hustle, can't not hurry

What drinks do you got for me?

Pull up for three but I'm not Curry

Here's a couple lies, everything's fine, I'm not worried

I was thinking all night

How I worked all day

Wrote a lot of songs

And my dues got paid

I should've gave up

Should've ran away

Got a little love

Got a lot of pain

But there's no escape

From this escapade

Tell me how will it all culminate

The game don't play

So don't play this game

All these tears couldn't douse my flame

Standing in my rain
