rain check

Lyrics

some of my friends can't get it right, some of my friends been getting married, i got friends in a prison cell, i got friends in a cemetery, my good friend's been doing time, i got a letter from him last february, i know he's fucked up but i tried to tell him, that the situation's just temporary, aye bro, it's been a minute now, tell me how you been living now, he wrote me back he said things are good, j, things are good they're just different now, still not sure when i'm getting out, a lot of friends they've been switching now, he knows it, i know it, he shouldn't be in this position now, bad shit keeps happening, to good people it's baffling, time and time again this ain't new but i guess we gotta keep balancing, tryna keep spirits up high, but shit ain't always right, i ain't get no sleep, these problems kept me up last night, you know that i meaning all the shit that i say, we gon kick it like the good old days, when you get out i'll take a rain check, i guess i'll take a rain check, aye, can you feel the pain yet, tired of the same shit, holding on for dear life, i'm running out of patience, aye, can i get a rain check?, can i get a rain check?, sick and tired of the same shit, running out of patience, i know i keep on asking but can i take a rain check, i guess i'll take a. i hate thinking back on this, it fucks with my peace of mind story bout a homie named greg, that i met in high school who was a real good guy, known in town as a respected dude, big old smile and a sense of humor, type of kid who had his shit together, you could tell he had a bright future, type of energy that stuck with me, the way he moved just always stuck with me, way back when i was writing raps he used to bump my shit, man he fucked me, he told me jerry brother you a superstar, back then that was reassurance, i had 50 fans and a mixtape on a burnt cd praying people heard it, fast forward a bunch of years later he would message me we'd always keep in touch, showing love just saying keep it up around the time i started heating up, shortly after i got bad news nothing short of a disaster, i got a call from a family friend they said greg is sick he has cancer, how's that possible he's 26, he'll beat it dog i got hope, they said it's in his brain it's worst case scenario, it's sad but chances are low, 12 months if he's lucky, and it's rare that people get lucky truth be told man it fucked me up, i watched the situation get ugly, when he got sick, we chilled like 2 or 3 times, gotta come clean i can't lie, he was so strong that every time he'd talk about it, i could barley even look him in the eyes, he passed away just like the doctors said he would, damn i wish that they were wrong cuz i'd much rather be kicking it, instead of sitting writing this song, i guess i'll take a rain check, i guess i'll take a rain check, aye, can you feel the pain yet, tired of the same shit, holding on for dear life, i'm running out of patience, aye, can i get a rain check?, can i get a rain check?, sick and tired of the same shit, running out of patience, i know i keep on asking but can i take a rain check, i guess i'll take a. time slipped away from me, time slipped away, time slipped away from me, time slipped away, time slipped away from me, time slipped i waved goodbye, time slipped away from me, time slipped away, i guess i'll take a rain check, aye, can you feel the pain yet, tired of the same shit, holding on for dear life, i'm running out of patience, aye, can i get a rain check?, can i get a rain check?, sick and tired of the same shit, running out of patience, i know i keep on asking but can i take a rain check, i guess i'll take a.
