It's been a minute since I saw snow maybe I'll head north
The company you keep determines what a mans worth
If thats the truth then what are friends for ?
Dirty couches and nights across the kitchen floor
Nah. It's more than that. Community in tact these people have my back. I know that I could leave without ever looking back
and that's the most beautiful thing when you can let the present pass
Well, the pastor say
You gotta pray for all the souls that passed away
I passed Keith the day his dad passed away
A week of teardrops passed and then we passed the grave
Fast forward to now and I feel half my age
We were fifteen then but now that jacks my ace
They cracked the glass with that click clack hooray
Showed a moment of celebration they had passed the day
We ain't never been better
than this moment right now and I want that forever
Clever. I'm living on the beat knock
For every tear shed theres a dot with an ink blot
Nanas home chili that hit the sweet spot
lost on the ten somewhere in my deep thought
I realize I find myself when I let myself
Let go of who I am and forget myself
Thats really something
I get a lot more accomplished when they think that I'm a nothing
The ego inside me always wants to think I'm buzzing
like there's something in the distance and if I hit the road running
I can catch it
So I'ma catch it, release it, and catch it again
Here I am again steady chasing down my shadow
When the sun sets I can finally lose the battle
Dancing in the rain
As it falls down I feel purified again
Guess you know the game
Sing the song but I still don't know if I've been saying
And I don't wanna fall asleep so I'll just wait
And I'll be dancing in the rain
A lot of things changed when I made it on my own
I put a record out with Al made a song about my home me and Keith got drunk got robbed and got grown learned ends don't meet until you're asking for a loan I never asked for shit until i made my first record when I was broke I didn't eat unless keith made the supper
and thinking back I never thanked him that was crucial at the moment in my life so thanks man
And now Im sitting here off 13th and Mitchell
still cant believe I made it this far from Litchfield
Things are better than ever and thats a big deal
came a long way from eating fries out the kids meal
I cant believe its been 2 damn years
They say Mouse thats my boy. How you do that there?
Tell you the truth, I don't know how I do it
my life meets my soul, the result is the music
Dancing in the rain
As it falls down I feel purified again
Guess you know the game
Sing the song but I still don't know if I've been saying
And I don't wanna fall asleep so I'll just wait
And I'll be dancing in the rain
I spent another year steady chasing down my shadow When the sun sets I can finally lose the battle
