The Alchemist - The Liner Notes lyrics

[Intro] Why do you have an umbrella Because the weather man said you have to have one at all times Because it's going to rain cats and dogs [Verse 1] One-liner flow See it in my liner notes The kind of ideas make it seem like the thoughts Took three hundred and sixty five nights I picture the high life Poolside, made my own terms from lonely nights Born the wrong ?? They say old soul with kid's energy Still draw from my torso for enemies By any means, I've seen what it's worth A curse, snakes and centipedes, venomous Seems the only safe place is Venice Beach I try to wrong my rights I try to right my wrongs I try to write my songs Shine lights but the night is gone Daybreak becomes the encore Can't tell the day to stay because I'm on tour A young kid pumping De La Soul I spit live You could say loco Sixteen not a day, no flow I grew up with nervous skaters Some headed for greatness Others served as waiters Some nameless Others were stars and straps ain't famous Steel that ain't stainless Hi haters, peace signs, see ya later Lying for no reason, quit trying it's greasy Easy target, walked up in Florida gators Origin lost angels, support Lakers Four finger discounts, just announce my fortress Fortress of my get down, live from Belgium stages LA made him, LA grazed him then LA saved him It's back to the beach b**h where Miss Taylor raised him My Momma opposite of Sarah Palin With no gat from Russia looking back like, quit playing Ev is here, staying [Outro] I do believe the idiom raining cats and dogs Stems from the Norse mythology Cats were believed to represent the wind And dogs represented rain Different animals represented different weather And natural phenomenon
