Berhane Productions - Raincheck lyrics

RAINCHECK Verse 1 I'm a nineties baby kinda crazy how it made me Pops got mami impregnated in the later eighties Came from London to sweden in ninety one and my only memory of it, it was freezing Raised with my bigger brothers, but my sister's the eldest one of us I was the youngest, hid under covers, banging on my mothers cupboards Short tempered kinda funny, why she mad at me for? I got it from her When I was seven, on to the next city I remember, it being summer In the beginning I hung with my favorite cousin then his pops died Eyo my auntie and my pops cried, I ain't understand nothing Sega playing, raider cap wearing, ca**ettes banging unadulterated swearing Running up and down the hill where we lived and sh** Playing ball I recall I used to k** that sh** Rollerblading, wilding out, stealing kicks Fighting all the kids around my neighborhood with hockey sticks I spray painted my skateboard and said I had the newest brand Then went to school with it and laughed, like whose the Man Chorus Yeah, this is a Raincheck, looking back wondering where the days went For when I'm downing out losing my way A reminder that can keep bringing me back to that place Yeah, this is a Raincheck, here my life rewind in the tape deck For when i'm acting out going insane A reminder that can keep bringing me back to that place Verse 2 Eye my father played records from the seventies like every night and I couldn't go to sleep, I started writing Til my hand went numb, heart beat with the drum Music became my life and everything I'd become My number one fan my right hand man said "Imagine when u on top of the globe with brand new clothes all up in ya wardrobe and Mtv cribs coming to your home, award shows" Well who knows I suppose I froze and dreamt about that For a couple quick seconds then I bounced back To a world that got a little colder as I got older exposed to a lot of crime and homies fighting over lack of doe, doing coke, smoking blunts in basements House parties and burgluring, break ins, cops chasing As a teen I was absent minded, kinda distant My facial expression was probably lying, it might look like i'm listening But i'm thinking of something different uninterested Why waste my time on something that's not inspiring? But if it is I'm pa**ionate, an*lyzing thoroughly Like all of this thoughts pouring in front of me, ironically Chorus Bridge I got it stacked like a safe in the back of my mind Signed by myself it might save me some time I said it's stacked like a safe in the back of my mind Got it signed by myself it might save me some time Verse 3 How did stealing kicks turn into dealing bricks? How pure innocent child turn into villain quick? How could my right hand man end up in the can? That wasn't part of the plan in becoming the man How did petty burgling turn into robbing and Stabbing our own backs for the profit? We stood together before understanding the value of money But now only a few of them are standing beside me it's funny Everything is a process we moving slow And most of us are lost not knowing which way to go I had to stop at this crossroad I'm feeling cornered One step back in order to take two forward Chorus Bridge
