lyrics

Ra1 Verse:
Have you ever sat down, just to listen to the rain?
You see concrete drenched, and the stains wash way
Your mind goes blank, but you know its all good
We all get hit by problems but your safe in your hood

Or is it? See, it aint like any other place
See people's faces wash down and see their distastes
Rainy days never made life this vivid
Trife I was gripping changed my life with decisions

When most are tricked to think there's life up in prison
I saw then I yearned to rock a mic with precision
Hoping stress'll be killed with hype I envisioned
For now I keep pushing after fights I given

So I sit and I think and I righteously listen
To the rain as I see it while it shines and it glistens
Hoping for a wish to change my life in an instant
Moving for a better life to be livin

Introspect’s Verse:
Sidewalk stepping pass through the traffic
Staying on my toes ‘cause this world is madness
It’s so much of a tragedy
Feels like there is nobody

Don’t know where to go to don’t know where to turn
Guess it’s the world giving lessons I need to learn
Tired of feeling down so I’ll rise from the floor
The pain from the past doesn’t hurt anymore

My turn to explore, my mind is expanding
Things from before help build an understanding
Guess I caught up quick
Who’da thought the nerd who played sports could spit

That’s the last of my concern
Those who place labels usually the first to burn
It used to never make sense,
But there’s a reason why some people belong in the past tense
Chorus:
Everyday we’re living to grow
‘Cause tomorrow you just don’t know
So it’s best to step with caution
‘Cause falling down, ain’t no option

Ceez’s Verse:
Waiting for the bus and it's raining,
Got cold feet so my soul is shaking,
Never planned on taking this ride,
I wanted to play soccer but I started to rhyme,
I guess the shivers happened for a reason,
God blessed me with a voice now I'm dreaming,
Of rocking a show by expressin my thoughts,
Speaking bout how life was..without a pops,
And this is for the kids who can relate,
Seeing moms struggling with bills to pay,
Stomach growling cause their ain't no food on your plate,
But music was our only escape,
So my headphones were always on,
A smooth cat head noddin' down the block,
To some jazz indie and classic rock
Aver’s Verse:
smeared words written on this here notepad
look dad but a response never comes back
im used to it man, man im numb in the rain
the cold I only feel is the cold shoulder that he gave
but whatever I took this walk to think
let the thoughts sink the way the pen bleeds
looked in a puddle and i seen my reflection
stared for a minute but I asked one question
WHY? we both smiled and said jinx
we both knew the answer knew it was too deep
Step by step i recollect
dreams I have I wont Forget
spark my mind and start the fire
walk in the dark in the rain no lighter
constant reminder to keep my chin up
cus not even the rain can drown out my sun
Chorus:
Everyday we’re living to grow
‘Cause tomorrow you just don’t know
So it’s best to step with caution
‘Cause falling down, ain’t no option
