Rain Check - JZAC

Some of my friends can’t get it right

Some of my friends been getting married

I got friends in a prison cell

I got friends in a cemetery

My good friend’s been doing time

I got a letter from him last February

I know he’s fucked up but I tried to tell him

That the situation’s just temporary

Aye bro, it’s been a minute now

Tell me how you been living now

He wrote me back he said things are good

J, things are good they’re just different now

Still not sure when I’m getting out

A lot of friends they’ve been switching now

He knows it, I know it, he shouldn’t be in this position now

Bad shit keeps happening

To good people it’s baffling

Time and time again this ain’t new but I guess we gotta keep balancing

Tryna keep spirits up high, but shit ain’t always right

I ain’t get no sleep, these problems kept me up last night

(Blank Name) you know that I meaning all the shit that I say

We gon kick it like the good old days

When you get out I’ll take a rain check

I guess I’ll take a rain check

Aye, can you feel the pain yet

Tired of the same shit

Holding on for dear life

I’m running out of patience, aye

Can I get a rain check?

Can I get a rain check?

Sick and tired of the same shit, running out of patience

I know I keep on asking but can I take a rain check

I guess I’ll take a…

I hate thinking back on this

It fucks with my peace of mind story bout a homie named Greg

That I met in high school who was a real good guy

Known in town as a respected dude

Big old smile and a sense of humor

Type of kid who had his shit together

You could tell he had a bright future

Type of energy that stuck with me

The way he moved just always stuck with me

Way back when I was writing raps he used to bump my shit

Man he fucked me

He told me Jerry brother you a superstar

Back then that was reassurance

I had 50 fans and a mixtape on a burnt CD praying people heard it

Fast forward a bunch of years later he would message me we’d always keep in

touch

Showing love just saying keep it up around the time I started heating up

Shortly after I got bad news nothing short of a disaster

I got a call from a family friend they said Greg is sick he has cancer

How’s that possible he’s 26

He’ll beat it dog I got hope

They said it’s in his brain it’s worst case scenario

It’s sad but chances are low

12 months if he’s lucky

And it’s rare that people get lucky truth be told man it fucked me up

I watched the situation get ugly

When he got sick

We chilled like 2 or 3 times

Gotta come clean I can’t lie

He was so strong that every time he’d talk about it

I could barley even look him in the eyes

He passed away just like the doctors said he would

Damn I wish that they were wrong cuz I’d much rather be kicking it

Instead of sitting writing this song

I guess I’ll take a rain check

I guess I’ll take a rain check

Aye, can you feel the pain yet

Tired of the same shit

Holding on for dear life

I’m running out of patience, aye

Can I get a rain check?

Can I get a rain check?

Sick and tired of the same shit, running out of patience

I know I keep on asking but can I take a rain check

I guess I’ll take a…

Time slipped away from me

Time slipped away

Time slipped away from me

Time slipped away

Time slipped away from me

Time slipped I waved goodbye

Time slipped away from me

Time slipped away

I guess I’ll take a rain check

Aye, can you feel the pain yet

Tired of the same shit

Holding on for dear life

I’m running out of patience, aye

Can I get a rain check?

Can I get a rain check?

Sick and tired of the same shit, running out of patience

I know I keep on asking but can I take a rain check

I guess I’ll take a…
