If It Rains on Me, I Get Wet 2

No one is exempt from life's tropes

quit thinking because i got all this talent and knowledge

that i gotta act a certain way, put on a mask for you

quit thinking because i’ve accomplished so many things

that i gotta talk a certain way, i can say whatever i want to

because i’m Khali Raymond, that’s why

i don’t like it when you sabotage me

i don’t like it when you say you can never

do what i’ve done, yes you can

all you gotta do is apply yourself,

nobody understands how much work

really goes into doing all of this

you only see the fruits of the

shit fall from off the goddamn tree,

you don’t care about anything else

listen, i don’t have as much as you may think

to me, it ain’t about the capital

it’s the joy that this gives me,

telling stories is what gets me up

out of the bed in the morning

no matter how far i run,

my emotions are always going to catch up to me

so will my insecurities

i been scarred on the inside,

those aches never vanished

i been marked, not like the man

but let me tell you this

if i go outside and if it rains on me, i get wet 2

just like you do ya’ll act like because i’m a prophet

i’m some damn wizard, that i know how to do specific spells

witchcraft, vudu

the mind issa superpower, he knows telekinesis

i know everything that is going to happen,

i’m not always accurate idiot

that’s not what prophesying is

i’m just sent to give you clarity

on the world that exists around you, hey

you’re too bogged down to listen,

quick to call me crazy because i’m helping you

the oppressor has oppressed you for so long,

no wonder you’re suffering from Stockholm

however, if you want the help

it’s gonna take a lot of inspection,

ugly truths that you will be forced to confront

whether if those truths are about you or your reality

you getting this work one way or another, can’t handle it?

that’s going to be on you, too bad too sad
