The Rain

[chorus: x2]

We've been in the rain

We've been on the mountains

We've been round the fire

And fancy hotels

Drank water from the well

Uh i'm stepping in this game and paying dues

Building a reputation now we making major moves

And now it's moving, how it's moving anyway i choose

And i've been working way to hard to just not make it through

You talk about me, prepare for what i say to you

Cause i'm a man and i will stand by what i say and do

There's a lot of ups and downs within this game of life

For every hater there's a girl that wants to stay the night

And now i got myself a taste of the fame,

I'm addicted i've got nothing else to chase

I kill it on the stage but still i miss the days

Of chilling in the crowd like a normal kid my age

But still i got this paper and still i got my pencil

And the craziest part is i haven't hit my potential

The life i live is stressful, everyday suspenseful

Grinding every minute of my life to be successful

[chorus:]

We've been in the rain

We've been on the mountains

We've been round the fire

And fancy hotels

Drank water from the well

Uh i'm trying to make it with my sanity

Moving from the underground roots up to the canopy

Do it how i do it i just hope they understanding me

Trying to make it right with every member of my family

I know i was the mess up but now chris stepped up

And took hold of what i always wanted from the setup

Now when people mention me they saying i'm the next up

It's been a long time since that a.d.d. checkup

The underclassman's graduated, top of the class

Now when i walk around town people nod when they pass

I'm just a kid who messed his life up and put it back together

A kid who hit the bottom and came back stronger than ever

I've been jerked around, stolen from, told i would fail

But now the numbers going up on every check in the mail

And if they not feeling it, i'll spit it in brail

Hating on me gets you know where keep on chasing your tail

[chorus: x2]

We've been in the rain

We've been on the mountains

We've been round the fire

And fancy hotels

Drank water from the well

You think the life i live is wonderful

Let me give you the flipside

Try to go with the flow and get caught up in the riptide

Everyday it's studio or driving to a show

And no i'm not complaining i'm just letting people know

There's a lot of hard work that goes right into the grind

Especially without being signed and working overtime

Now every time i meet a girl there is a difference

Cause all they want is webby without even meeting christian

They just want to fuck, maybe roll an l

And go back in the morning with a story to tell

And though it sounds great, the side of it you don't see

Is that the end of the day you're still lonely.

The fans show me love and i love my ninjas back

They hold me down and i'm forever thankful of that

And i won't let you down you have my word on that

Cause i'm here for good the best of the burbs is back

[chorus: x2]

We've been in the rain

We've been on the mountains

We've been round the fire

And fancy hotels

Drank water from the well
