Rain Dance - Oddisee[00:00:00]

I remembered when I discovered purpose[00:00:21]

I was good at something finally worth it[00:00:23]

Told my father that I'ma be an artist[00:00:26]

Foreign parents don't understand we got newer options[00:00:28]

They flee their countries[00:00:30]

Protect their families pursuing progress[00:00:31]

They think in needs we think of wants[00:00:33]

The views are parted[00:00:35]

I want to be like doctor dre[00:00:36]

They want degrees from Harvard an engineer[00:00:37]

That slides the fader not designing rockets[00:00:38]

I'm in the lab without a beaker[00:00:41]

But the speakers knocking[00:00:42]

Making art in broken English they mistake as nonsense[00:00:43]

The only language understood as income[00:00:46]

So I got good at business plans as well as making rhythm[00:00:48]

I took this art so serious[00:00:50]

It made any girl I dated so furious[00:00:52]

And put tears in they eyes that wouldn't dry[00:00:55]

So they turned into rain[00:00:57]

So many lessons I was learning through pain[00:00:58]

Rain dance[00:01:00]

When I was younger I was all about the ladies[00:01:22]

Quick to do them wrong even quicker to call them crazy[00:01:24]

Cause I ain't see the harm in leading on somebody daughter[00:01:27]

Who wanted my commitment but instead they get a maybe[00:01:29]

Four or five I juggled them like I'm Barnum bailey[00:01:31]

Until my arms got tired of hugging women and breaking[00:01:34]

The less that I was working[00:01:36]

The more that I was flirting[00:01:38]

Can't be somebody's half if you ain't a completed person[00:01:39]

Started developing myself first[00:01:42]

Ain't easy to take it for granted when it's self worth[00:01:44]

Kept promises made money and stayed honest[00:01:46]

In his thick accent my father said that I made progress[00:01:49]

Became the man that I was meant to be[00:01:52]

Right on time met the women that was meant for me[00:01:54]

You know the feeling of keeping your phone face up[00:01:57]

No interference so nothing causing a break up[00:01:59]

Drama free[00:02:02]

Man I'ma I'ma be real with you man[00:02:03]

You gon' get a lot of people out here messed up thinking[00:02:05]

That it's really cool to just leave their phone[00:02:07]

Face up and they got a lot of open tabs[00:02:10]

That wrong text message will come through[00:02:12]

One day and mess up everything you was trying to do so uh[00:02:14]

That's just a warning man it ain't for everybody yo[00:02:17]

But good job for working hard to get there man for real[00:02:20]

Nowadays I'm just trying to get paid[00:02:23]

Stay away from trouble and avoid an early grave[00:02:25]

Read a little more speak a little less[00:02:28]

My competition listens and they quick to imitate[00:02:30]

Invited to the studio by so and so[00:02:33]

And everybody think that I'm the one that stole the flow[00:02:35]

Well here's a quotable[00:02:38]

I ain't jealous or offended[00:02:39]

I'm just glad to see reactions to a style that I invented[00:02:40]

To me be remembered means your time is finished[00:02:43]

And I'd rather be the reminder with the minor presence[00:02:45]

Not a quick rise and a long fall[00:02:48]

For the long haul I'm in it so just sit tight[00:02:50]

Things don't grow if the ground stays dry[00:02:53]

I see the good things when the clouds blown by[00:02:56]

So when the rain comes I presume my stance[00:02:58]

And if I move it's to do my dance[00:03:01]

Bloom[00:03:02]

I can make it rain no matter what the time[00:03:04]

But I'd do it less for some peace of mind[00:03:09]

Reach out and you will understand[00:03:13]

What god put in these hands[00:03:17]

All will be revealed in due time[00:03:20]
