Rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows

Rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows

Cold sweats and my religion was
To be black like mike and like licorice
I'm a star, I'm a king, I'm champion to those
Black face, black taste and I got black hoes
Jerusalem is calling my name and the flight gate is lemons
All I see is propane, press ignition on my story
Tell 'em them everything is safe
Tell 'em everything is good
Tell 'em everything is great
When I'm buried in the ground
I'll be laughing in my grave
I'll be shaking hands with God
But they say he don't exist
My strife, my life, my stank old piss
Got a girl that I love, had a girl that I miss

Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows

Remember when you used to call me
Got your North Face black pink suede up on me
Chicken head you used to call me
Now I'm dancing six-feet beneath the moon, I'm lonely
I wish she was the home, I wish
And these teardrops, flipflops, raindrops, false tales
Break shit I don't even say shit
Wish I never made this
Wish I had a penny for my look (outrageous)
Dancing like I'm basic, you was always basic
Fucking in my spaceship
Fucking 'til the cab screamed Mary had a face-lift
I be inspiration to the kids on the block
So never tell me nothing, tell me something I forgot

Rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows





Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, come
Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, rainbows, come
