It’s been raining all night
A new photo and hip-hop lyric, everyday. All photos taken by Karlyle. Enjoy!
It’s been raining all night
Good times, good times
There’s gonna be good times, good times
I know there’s gonna be-
Work every day ’til me meet ends
Haffi tun it up pon weekends
Buss a toast, be a real friend
Tell me weh yuh drinking, cah
But I’m hungry, so hungry
Need my family tree next to a money tree
With a bunch of leaves in the Garden of Eden
With a bunch of Eves, no fruit punch for me
I sip from the Fountain of Youth
So if I die young, blame the juice
Bury me in New Orleans
Tombstone reads: “Don’t cry, stay tuned.”
Bring me back to life
Got to lose a life just to have a life
But if heaven’s as good as advertised
I want a triple extension on my motherf…..’ afterlife
Rest in paradise
‘Nother backend, I’m back on the road
Flooded Patek, paid off a show
Drippin’ this rare, more this Vlone
Hoes by the pair, I’m never alone
Sleep on the Lear, Comme des Garçons
Drop eight in a two, and let it dissolve
Balmain my denim, young Gun wanna ball
Rock the whole concert and hopped in a frog
My foreign’s a toy, I’m still a kid
Ten K this year for Coachella, it’s lit
Bro got umbrellas to cover her wig
Open Ceremony, left them in a trench
Lightning bolt diamonds ’cause I want revenge
We straight like a line man, I really got rich
Some more fancy yellow diamonds in my piss
Don’t get it confused, I’m still bangin’ the six
New Cartier, Gunna a don
N….. tryna soak up the drip like a sponge
Hate just contagious, I keep me a gun
I’m focused on makin’ that M in a month
Baby order twenty thousand in ones
Walk in and buy, I’m not asking how much
Red on the bottom, you need to catch up
Consistently droppin’, I need me a dub
I wanna turn up the loft
I want strawberries with Voss
I want a Gucci hat
I wonder why these n….. rap
I want it so I’ma get it (Skr Skr)
I want it so I’ma get it (Skr Skr)
I want it so I’ma get it (Skr Skr)
I want it so I”ma get it (Skr Skr)
I wanna ratchet lil baby
I want my frames from the 80’s (Skr Skr)
I wanna rock that Rick Owens
I want The Recipe blowin
I want it so ima go get it
I want it so I’ma go get it (Skr Skr)
I want it so I’ma go get it (Skr Skr)
I want it so I’ma go get it (Skr Skr)
You say you never saw this comin’, well you’re not alone
Million dollar renovations to a happy home
My ex says she gave me the best years of her life
I saw a recent picture of her, I guess she was right
All that I want
Is to wake up fine
Tell me that I’m all right
That I ain’t gonna die
All that I want
Is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it’s alright
For me to come out
You know how the paigon chit-chat goes
I like Rs and Vs and Os
I don’t really play no tic-tac-toe
Been with Chubbs through highs and lows
We seen man last night, they froze
Wasn’t no cameras, wasn’t no pose
Just like that one time at ‘Chella
Good thing man weren’t pullin’ out phones
Young Sheck Wes, I’m like the f….. Green Goblin
So he tell her all his secrets, he tell her all his fears
And then she tell me and I be all ears
And then I go and tell my people and they already know him
And then I call Liz and she say he comin’ over
I say, “Good girl, just remember what I told ya”
She gave me the salute, I say, “Girl, you’re a soldier”
We’re waitin’ outside, watch him pull up
Walk up to the door and right before he knock
She open the door naked, she left it unlocked
They started French kissin’ so he didn’t see moi
And then she let him in, they stopped on the couch
Music up loud with his head in the clouds
Turn that shit down and I scared the piss out of him
Piss a n…. off, put a gun to his frown
N…., turn around, I ain’t here to fuck around
I ain’t here to f… around, caught you wit’ your pants down
You know what it is, put your f….. hands up
Liz, that’s enough, you can put your hands down
And then he looked dead at her and he shook his head at her
She a good actress and you a dead actor
You’ll be dead after we get what we’re after
If Liz call you daddy, she about to be a bastard, oh
Strawberries cherries and an angel’s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
Place your love on all my pain
How you mince my heart oh darling
Everything I’ve done you knew you known
I ain’t really never had a home
Damn I really hate feeling alone
Maybe you can make me feel at home, baby
2 AM, my mind’s on us
All my friends out to the club
Saw you there, they said you’re numb
Numb to the pain, oh how you changed
It’s not ’bout the girls, it’s not ’bout the fame
Blowin’ the clouds, tonight it will rain
You havin’ fun, this isn’t a game, oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I’m living in that 21st Century, doing something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
Biblical sky speckled with flame
Do you hold your mother’s eyes
From wetting the earth?
From weeping for those
Who reward fame to absolutes of war?
Or for heroic myths
Provided to children
Married into ferocity?
They instead witness themselves
All in your mind with fears that would come true
The back of my mind, the back of my mind was you
Wishing that I could blind myself from view
And only have eyes, and only have eyes for you
Cause every time I make a move they be sweating me
They want another black man in penitentiary
It’s even hard for that man standing next to me
Cause he could catch a bullet that was really meant for me
It’s like every step bring me close to destiny
And every breath I get closer to the death of me
I’m just tryna carry out my own legacy
But the place I call home ain’t letting me
‘Til you own your own you can’t be free
‘Til you’re on your own you can’t be me
How we still slaves in 2016?
Key to life, keep a bag comin’
Every night another bag comin’
I ain’t been asleep since ’96
I ain’t seen the back of my eyelids
Whole lotta styles, can’t even pronounce the name
You ain’t got no style, see you on my Instagram
I be rockin’ it like it’s fresh out the pan
Only when I’m takin’ pics, I’m the middleman
And then I’ll write you a song
You might hear it on the radio
Baby, you never know
But it’s gonna be just about you and me
How much I miss you
You’re the one that got away
You’re gonna hear your song someday
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my faces flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
The old, but I’m not that old
Young, but I’m not that bold
And I don’t think the world is sold
I’m just doing what we’re told
I, feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I, feel something so wrong
But doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
My night runs into morning, all the time
And through my phone I’m scrolling, bang my line
Off that drank it’s hard to focus (focus)
Seems like I am always chosen by romantics that are hopeless
But you different than these women
Got me coming back
Can’t let anybody have you
Can’t have none of that
I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you’ve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
They screamin’ Compton, must be two sides
R.I.P. to Shawty Lo, yeah B. Dot know I’m flexin’
VIP my barrio, 200 on the guest list
I don’t like to sugarcoat or politic with yes men
I like me a boujee h.. from Normandie and Western
2017 onto bigger things (bigger things)
I got a smaller team, got a bigger ring (bigger ring)
Everybody a Crip ’til they black and blue
Everybody a Blood ’til they hemorrhaging
You wanna sail away
Into a setting sun
Throw it all away
For your only one
I tried to pull away
You said I’m too far gone
I’m like “How long this hard-to-get role lasting?”
She said “I don’t know, it depends who’s asking”
I been drinkin’ lately I might act up
Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness
Waking the grapevine
One inch of love is one inch of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
With my best friend
7-11 (yeah)
We go legend, we go legend (yeah, yeah)
We go legend, we go legend (alright)
We go legend, we go legend, yeah
With my best friend
7-11 (yeah)
We go legend (go), we go legend (go), yeah (yeah)
We go legend (go), we go legend (go legend)
We go legend, we go legend, yeah (straight)
We want to go inside the cold
It’s like a tomb, but it’s something to hold
And in the time before it ends
When the stillness bends
Big shot (hol’ up, wait) peanut butter insides (no)
Outside, cocaine white, body look like Gentiles (Gentiles)
Emotional, ‘motional, ‘motional, ‘motional
Why you emotional? Why you emotional?
Ah, bitch, you emotional, yeah
Hungry artists or starvin’ artists
In the kitchen, restaurant and cafeterias
Don’t make a difference if you taste the difference
Better pay the difference to the racketeers
Now your good luck lookin’ like you crackin’ mirrors
Now the artificial become sacrificial
That’s a body count, where the mathematician?
Black shades on my face so you can’t see my eyes
