Parade
Heaven and Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You see this shit know I ain’t playin’
Skies are falling, feeling grey
Red rush over silver blades
Don’t rain on my damn parade
You see this shit know I ain’t playin
Skies are falling, feeling grey
Red rush over silver blades
Turkey lookin hella fat
Can't get more than five stans, needa take a step back
Family comin’ once a year, but soon it will be less than
Family hiding from there fears, relatives are not a fan
Damn, controversy, back-talking
Most hated, loved, and faulted
All the food I’m eyeballing
Favorite thing to do is start pissing
Get away from my family face, lonely bitch I just wanna conversate
See ‘em all next month, man, I think I overate
Fuckin’ with the fam but it ain’t bio
Keep talking shit and I’ll fuck your hoe
You’re blessed to have me, that’s fo sho
Rhymes too good with an unmatched flow
Make these tracks just so you know, HT, Culture
Time to bestow, us with a crown, no time to frown
Just suicide clowns walkin’ through your town
So you better back down, I’ll kill you
What a shame, y’all are so lame, I can’t be tamed
I won’t be shamed, rhymes so flame
So respect the name and give me acclaim
’Cause to me it’s all the same, life like a video-game
What a shame
Don’t rain on my damn parade
You see this shit know I ain’t playin
Skies are falling, feeling grey
Red rush over silver blades
Don’t rain on my damn parade
You see this shit know I ain’t playin
Skies are falling, feeling grey
Red rush over silver blades

Our traveling days will soon be over here,
And we shall cross the rolling tide,
For we are down here for just a little while,
Our home is on the other side,
Ambassadors true for Jesus our redeemer,
And its a love crusade,
For right against wrong,
But soon we'll join the throng in Heaven when the saints parade
For Heaven's Kings, We gladly sing the story old,
Yet ever new in Glory Land,
With that glad band, We'll promenade in Heaven's parade
For Heaven's Kings, We will gladly sing the story old,
Yet ever new in Glory Land in that fair
Land, We'll promenade in Heaven's parade
For Heaven's King of glory, We will gladly sing the story,
Wonderful story is old yet is ever new in Glory Land,
Up yonder with that great and happy band,
We all them will promenade in Heaven in that grand parade
For Heaven's own King,
For Heaven's Holy King,
So gladly we will shout and sing,
The blessed old story, Sing it for His glory,
Tis old yet ever new in Glory Land fair up yonder in the air,
In with eternal happy band, We'll promenade there,
And never know a care in Heaven, When the saints parade.
