lyrics
Verse 1)
I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born
The pain of a lost one, the hate of a lovers scorn
Flash in a pan, make it smoother than butter corn
Magic with the Dumbledore
Butterfly doors on a whip that never existed
Execute plans, since the moment I stepped in the district
All the success, I never could picture
They capitulated, step on the rhythm
I was 7 when I stepped in a prison, several visits
Never upkept with a image
What’s the plot? Get him dropped, that’s a lesson in physics
This a cautionary tale of a kid, who was selling and pitching
Head in the clouds, bed in the sky
Throwing five on a dime, getting high with the reddest of eyes
All the bullshit, set it aside
'Cuz one day you’ll be dead while the rest are alive, make it rain on them
(Hook)
I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born
I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born
(Verse 2)
I landed on my feet every time
Move back, I’m the cool cat the streets couldn’t find
Wanna' peep my demise, still thrive, how that treat you inside
Heart beating, tryna' keep you from dying
What’s a sheep to a lion
I told you
It's weird when you tryna' be a mogul, but they keep asking for the old you
Visit my brother in Harlem, get some soul food
I keep in touch with my roots like I’m supposed to
The goal is to build a house, I think I got it figured out
So many nights that I slept, I would think about the things I could live without
Lost everything, but couldn’t sit and pout
I had to take a different route
I wanna' be more self sufficient
And take better care of my body, 'cuz you know, health is wisdom
I don’t need anybody else’s help to get myself in the best position
Make a record finish
(Hook)
I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born
I can make it rain, and thunderstorm
When a king dies, another’s born
