They say that when it rains, it pours
The rain
[Hook: M.I.A. & (Mad Child)
(Falling from out of the sky) It's falling down on me
Praying "Calm down, fall down"
Praying "Calm down, fall down"
(Falling from out of the sky)
When I forgot to close the blinds
I couldn't sleep, kept waking up from all the shine
Glare in my eyes
I'm off three hours, eat, sleep, repeat, grind again
It's what he does that others don't do is what's defining him
I never would've thought the words wrote on the page
Would have me on the other side of Earth on the stage
I never would've thought there was a stage on Earth
That made me feel more at home besides my place of birth
I'm from gun slinging CA where every move is watched
And watched back for instant replay
So many days and nights with ink-bleeding pages
Fall asleep on flights, call it sleeping with strangers
Now back to the city of angels where the rain is
[Hook: M.I.A. & (Mad Child)
(Falling from out of the sky) It's falling down on me
Praying "Calm down, fall down"
Praying "Calm down, fall down"
(Falling from out of the sky)
I simplify by design
My words get scribed to the vinyl when they rhyme
Mark it with the scribe
Count blessings, toes, fingers, I'm alive
I've had so many lows to survive all the highs
I've learned some things and others learned to tolerate
You could be a day short but not a dollar late
New day in reign, chain link, put it together
Beat the drum, pray for rain, we ain't the same under the weather
Just me against the world on the verge of relentless
Trying to stay apart like each word of the sentence
King versus apprentice, champ versus challenger
The challenger swung, the champ fell, they kicked him out of there
I throw raps to sea in a bottle to float
Like a lost S.O.S. that a novelist wrote
The wind blew and popped the top, they read the letter
"To whom it may concern: my sick words under the weather"
[Hook: M.I.A. & (Mad Child)
(Falling from out of the sky) It's falling down on me
Praying "Calm down, fall down"
Praying "Calm down, fall down"
(Falling from out of the sky)
So I forgot to change the time
Showing up early with my money on my mind
Trying to keep from crime, one of a kind
I'm defined by my environment
For everything I did from inception to retirement
Cause I've been running on unleaded fumes
Collecting money back for sacks, run it 'fore the rent is due
A daydreamer still running towards the rainbow's ending
Knowing damn well the gold wasn't meant for spending
You ten cents from a nickel in your pocket
Shit, I'm thirty short of twenty dollars in my wallet
Yeah, you might need twelve fingers for the runners
Maybe six on the hand, half a dozen on the other
I bundle up, brown gloves for the summer
Shorts in the winter with the slicker and umbrella
A fella chasing cheese like he running a maze
But really I'm just running in place, I need the bread to start
[Hook: M.I.A. & (Mad Child)
(Falling from out of the sky) It's falling down on me
Praying "Calm down, fall down"
Praying "Calm down, fall down"
