Rain

This shit like Noah's arc departing
I see signs of different stars
I know my martyrs stay adjacent with me
I ain't dying with no promises unkept
I know I'm selfish 'cause I'm self-reliant
Hard for me to trade on empty

Empty souls that keep a place for those they need, yeah
Envy those with bad decisions on they deed, yeah
I used to pray that I would fall when I seen madness at my feet
I pity those that take they secrets to they deities

I been defeated, I don't claim to be unbending
Absentee when niggas preach before they hear you
Seen them silvery, anemic
When they dead inside, they reach for any sliver
Keep a space around me, I just pray to God they don't come near you

When I'm misty eyed, I fall back on my brother or my sister
Or my brother or my sister
I know we crystallized from ashes of my granny
To my angels up above me
To my Mama, to my Daddy
I pray we keep the space between us only physical
I know our castle's made of glass, but we obsidian
My niggas Michael keep a evil eye on specters of the children of the bedrock we livin' in

I hear the foliage in mourning, this a burial
We living on the fossils of the menders and agrarians
I know where I ain't wanted
I relate to it, the spoils of the harvest
I'm a product of avarice and dishonesty
I know the Ferryman awaiting
We done kept that nigga busy
I ain't goin' out with modesty
Honestly, I'll be a pillar made of granite
Or a shoulder for the loneliest among us

And that's me talkin' to myself 'cause if I know my days are numbered
Rather focus on the light of supernovas when I'm watchin' skies fallin'
When I'm watchin' skies fallin'
