Butterfly With Wet Wings

Someone's life, is another one's lesson

I know this rain got you feeling weighed down
Like a butterfly with wet wings
Yes you may have even touched the ground
But it's alright
You can still fly
I know this rain

Imagine seeing your reflection, and can't believe what you see
In a place that you wished you would never be
The future's unclear
The fear
Moving nearer
And you don't recognize the one you see in the mirror
And it got you wondering
Crazy feelings end up fucking with your judgement
It's fair to say you had no worries in the earth
Moving through life not worried 'bout your worth
You bullshit and party
Party, pull shit
Always scheming, always hustlin', you know hood shit
Fuck it you ain't care
Fuck 'em if you dare
Sex a little here
Sex a little there
No one's there to check you
The ones you love neglect you
You think you invincible with nothing to protect you
And if you heard it all before
Then why won't it hit you
Why you ain't scared to catch, what's catching up to get you

I know this rain got you feeling weighed down
Like a butterfly with wet wings
Yes you may have even touched the ground
But it's alright
You can still fly
I know this rain got you feeling weighed down
Like a butterfly with wet wings
Yes you may have even touched the ground
But it's alright
You can still fly
I know this rain

I know somebody just like you, he the same way, maybe worse
Endless hurt
He cursed
And don't know his worth
One day I saw him, with tears in his eyes bawling
Seeing a grown man cry don't happen often
I saw his fear
He thought it made them care
Sex a little here
Then he sexed a little there
Then unprepared
Outta nowhere
He got the scare
Now he don't how long he'll live to breathe the air
Fast forward a few months
Me and my homie lost touch
I ain't think nothin' of it, I thought homie was tough
Now when I see him he looks rough
He was cold and lonely
He showed me
That it was possible for anyone to get touched
Tried to pretend like it ain't phase him
His youth quickly left, his body quickly aging
Feeling like nothing left to do, no way to approach him
No one can see the end of life approaching

I know this rain got you feeling weighed down
Like a butterfly with wet wings
Yes you may have even touched the ground
But it's alright
You can still fly
I know this rain got you feeling weighed down
Like a butterfly with wet wings
Yes you may have even touched the ground
But it's alright
You can still fly
I know this rain

Now look at you
Always worried unsure
Moving through life always worried 'cause your hurt
Your outlook on life is negative
No one looked out for you, but you can still benefit
The lesson is
Sex a little here
Sex a little there
You thought it made 'em care
But now you're real scared
Now you're pressed for time
Spending all your time depressed
Time spent with this weight on your chest
My homie ain't know what hit 'em
'Cause see he thought it couldn't get him
Sometimes I wish that my homie would've just listened
It's a hard lesson either way
But it's hard when you gotta learn life's lessons the hard way
Everything was easy, now he's facing hard days
For sure he will die young is what they all say
But when the rain falls, it dries in the end
And like a butterfly, you can always fly again

I know this rain got you feeling weighed down
Like a butterfly with wet wings
Yes you may have even touched the ground
But it's alright
You can still fly
I know this rain got you feeling weighed down
Like a butterfly with wet wings
Yes you may have even touched the ground
But it's alright
You can still fly

I know this rain got you feeling weighed down
Yes you may have even touched the ground
I know this rain got you feeling weighed down
Yes you may have even touched the ground
I know this rain
