Let It Rain
C.E.C Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't bend to the laws, boy I break 'em
I never trust a preroll, I know people lace 'em
If he come for my head, then my homies gon' waste him
I remember hangin' out with Nike in the kitchen
We was talkin' bout livin'
How we life different
That's my brother give him anything
I'll be there for any change

I think I missed out on a lot of time being sad
Gettin' mad
Now I stay inside my bag
I stay focused
If my mom needs anything, make it appear like hocus pocus
Boy we swarming round the block like some locusts
I don't ever lose hope in
The mission that I got set
Get the bread, get all the homies some bigger baguettes
Get my fam a check
Get my life in check
Maybe spend some money on myself just to flex
They said I got next, told em that I got now
Thinking bout my dad and I wonder if he proud
I wonder if my auntie looking at me from the clouds
I wonder if she helping me all of these sounds
I wonder if I jump, will I feel it when I hit the ground
But fuck all that, I'm next up on the mound
And I would never do anything to jeopardize this crown

Tell my mother that I love her if I pass
Coulda been a better son, I sit on my ass
All I do is smoke grass
Always knew I wouldn't last
I life pass me by
Couldn't catch the shit that you was talking I was too high
Homies like Future and The Weeknd, we some Lowlifes
Protected by .45's and low eyes
But you know how it goes
Every day you gotta act like you in a show
When you really just wanna put that pistol to your dome
And let it blow
Turn to dust, let my ashes snow




There's no hope
Just let the shit flow
