Intro (Kisura):
You can’t escape the inevitable
You can’t dodge raindrops
You got to dance in the downpour
And that’s where I live
Nothing lasts forever,
Nothing.

Verse 1 (Kevin Allen):
Slow work better than no work
I need a clone, spare phone, every stone homework
You don’t throw those in glass houses
‘Cause then no only are you trapped in
You’re also keeping other people out it, make peace with it.
Malcolm out the curtain, peeking out it
Maybe it’s not hate, you could see clear for yourself if you took your ego out it
I kept it G and got a key up out it
Took the scenic route I needed time to process and think about it (Yea)
Heavy is the hard head thumping I need a buffer
Went from trying to slide to a function to lobster tail at the luncheon
Independent to a fault I’m not budging, Doc Gooden
They ain’t really at the game, that’s stock footage
Let you niggas stretch in the seventh, I might steal home if you not looking
It’s dinner time, prime cut, Cabernet, expensive kind, instinct, had to improvise
Me and my dogs talking short term, long term, starting block, finish line

Hook (Kevin Allen):
Straight shot no laying over
You calling an Uber or you staying over?
They been praying for the real yea the wait is over
You keep the game for yourself or do you pay it forward?
Through all the pain I was able to still make some closure
I thank God for that
Everybody gon’ get touched by the raindrops
I promise ain’t no dodging that
Might cost me everything I love
I’m still at odds with that


Verse 2 (Mani Draper):
I Gotta be Ace
Moving way to mean
Without a trace
Jehovah witness then they’ll all testify
No body safe
It’s not personal
Nine bands In the terminal
Ja morant on my vertical
Wholesale in Memphis
Place close attention

New dimension
Get the chicken twelve ways
And Building a system
All’s forgiven
All my enemies start with the best intentions

My work ethic bred envy
And That’s on me
Not stimulated by credit you seek
My ogs hated flicks

Wouldn’t be caught dead on no wiretap
So me goin live I’m still at odds with that
The pod to throw off the scent
This feel like Earl and the Click
And I swear that I’m Quik

Duece Duece under my pillow
Good luck sending the bitch
Be the best sleep of her life
Til me she never Dreamt

To whom might be offended
The clip could be extended
It’s all in the pivot
The start and the finish
You fraud or you driven
The gods never pillage

Verse 3 (Kevin Allen):
I had vision, wasn’t scared of the distance, just went and did it
Fuck is you on?
Let’s kill the nuance and get specific

North Richmond
Trying to raise a newborn, the clock was ticking
Dialed in, I can see every pixel that’s in that picture

New Testament, God tier spirit cry follow The Blueprint
Empathy free me of the need to ever see you as stupid

Don’t argue with the foolish, twisting Chronic feeling Ruthless
Messiah got the drop on Judas, you penny pinching or clueless?
Endurance, even Michael Jordan was a student

What goes around, comes around, hula hooping
These boys sheep in wolves clothing
Really, I’m fully loaded, Huey Newton

This Project Pat it feed this conscious rap, Insomniac
Underground UGK, iconic rap, Big Pimpin’
Short Dog, Born to Mack, black Cadillac that’s how you bring it back

A whole region, you rode the bench the whole season
I gotta find the balance between the angels and the demons

Outro (Unc):
Your race is your race
Regardless of what the fuck going on around you
The muthafuckas that stay strong in it
Stay ten toes down to it
Muthafuckas that bailed, the fire and the hell
Man, you, steady doing this.
