The Rain That Wouldn't Save - Kweku Collins

And I put that on all of my vices

My high school diploma, my dearly departed

My double entendre, I wrote this

The mornin you went back to college

I know we both growing, that’s part of the problem

It’s thirty on Lincoln, I’m out

Brought that shit back to the curb

Same one where I learned how to skate

Same one where I wrote this here

Same flight, different time, same gate

Same line, still me, new wait

Drawn up from the house I leveled

I emerge with a four side frame

My word, how the times have changed

Oh lord, how this shit stand still

Cole world, we don’t want to be saved

If it ain’t me, I don’t think I will

Cause I believe in the power of my niggas, but ultimately its gon be up to me

to get with it

Oh, so holler if you hear me holler

Tell me is this what you wanted, yeah, riddle me that

Ain’t nothing here till you answer, wasn’t nothing here to begin with

And I put this on all of the nights that I didn’t come home

Or I came with the light, or I slept with the sun

In a bed when the morning could come any hour

I know when it, how I know when to go

Pedal my block to the east

Brought that shit back to the lake

Same one where I learned how to leave

Same one where I learned how to stay

Same time, different year, new place

Same line, still me, new weight

Drawn up from behind eye level

I return with the foresight, pain

My word, how the floor has changed

Hold on when it seems to tilt

Oh I’ll remember you Kaylyn and hold down

The house you helped build

Cause now the opportunity has arisen for me to contribute to something that I

see as bigger

Yah yay
