Gradient - Rainy Day lyrics

[Verse 1:] I'm not gonna, not gonna, not gonna wait For the beat to hit before I can spit ‘Cause I've waited my entire life for this Writin' this felt nice, it did, but it feels better to be recitin' this I exist in life to try and fly as high as I can get Strive to just inspire minds of guys who might be likin' it I liken it to a medicine k** pain like Vicodin Rap game didn't wanna let us in But it'll get a lot better once I get in I got a mic and a pen and I might go and Go psycho quite like Michael did Or I might just write flows honestly When I'm on the beat that's what my goal is So I must confess to feeling blessed that you are hearing this My only goal in rap is to reflect on my experience I testify that weirder kids can best the finest lyricists I step farther than stepfathers of Potter, yeah I'm Sirius Deliriously spitting sicker than a myriad Of punks and I can punctuate a line without a period I spit it correct and stay calm on the beat Like I'm Thom the grammar officer, comma police OK, computer saying I should stop the dated references Optimize my album quality with data sets and sh** Nah, I say the things I wanna say, my weapon is The authenticity that's often missin' when they're reppin' sh** [Chopped vocal sample:] …Rainy day, rainy day, rainy day [Verse 2:] 140 days a year it rains in my hometown I'm grateful every day that I was raised in my hometown Eugene, Oregon, a little insane and far from the humdrum Hope you don't get bored but I wanna explain about where I come from Constant cloudy climate, say goodbye to your dumb umbrella ‘Cause daily showers here are not a conundrum I'm from, pizza drivers too high to deliver And I'm from pickin' blackberries on the side of the river And I'm from often being asked real politely by a guy on the street If I'll provide a dollar so he and his wife get to eat Unspoken poverty, got a lot of folks not ownin' property But I don't wanna focus on showin' awful things There's a lot that growin' taught to me People want that dough monopoly But don't want the battle, the burns and scars Shout-out to my family ‘cause they Showed me the value of workin' hard In the backyard past the sunset Dad made us work ‘til we ask are we done yet Mom workin' every night to feed us food And my sis taught me to succeed in school Clouds overhead but it's okay Never be afraid of a rainy day Just seek that goal that you have before you ‘Cause nobody's gonna grab it for you [Chopped vocal sample] [Poem: Halah Mohammed] When no one else will for you Will, for you, thunder claps A shower of praises 'til you crack A blue sky missing sun Storm Whether or not they see you Wet faces with your rainy day words You strike pain And never let up The will to will for you Whatever they won't
