Walking in the Rain

You know, we don't start a story with people
They think they know me, but you know
I tell it as me, myself, and I

Cause I just want to express myself
The way I feel like I need to
Ay, ay, ay
I remember my grandma and dad

I was just seven, ay
I didn't know nothin' about my life
So I had to figure out some directions, ay
I spent some nights walkin' in the rain

By myself, but then
I gave up through the storm
I had to prepare through the storm
Because I didn't know what I was goin' to do

I had to figure out
What my life was gonna do
Ay, I had some crazy stuff
Fuck me up early on in my life, ay

So I had to find some direction
And music made me find some direction, ay
Because I just started spillin', ay
I just started spillin' what was goin' on in my life

I just started spittin' what was goin' on, ay
Music allowed me to express myself, ay
Walkin' in that rain
I had nobody with me

Cause nobody gave a damn about my life
And nobody cared about me, ay
They wanna see me fail
I know these niggas gon' see me fly, ay

They wanna see me fly
But I ain't even fly me yet
Ay, I got a little recognition
So I already know I'm goin' up

I'm takin' it up
I don't care, ay, ay
I just don't care about the critics
And the naysayers anymore

I don't care what they say about me
They gon' speak on me, ay
They gon' gossip on my name
And I don't care what they say, ay

Ay, I don't care
I don't care if my parents and my family care, ay
I don't need nobody to be good at this lifestyle, ay
I don't need nobody, that's all

I just want you to know
I don't need you, nigga
I just want you to know that, ay, ay
But I'm gonna help you out

If you need somethin', ay
But please don't steal from me
Because I wouldn't steal from you, ay
Even when I ain't have no money

I would still dare help your ass out
So, please don't do that shit
Please don't do that shit to me
Please don't do that to me

I've been tryna find love
I've been tryna find some true love
But, baby, they keep scarin' me
Why these bitches keep screwin' me

Why these hoes keep screwin' me
Why they keep scarin' me
I don't understand, cause I don't treat them wrong
I treat them like first class

But then they wanna do some foul shit
They quit, they do it on social media
And all that extra shit
Ay, baby, I want you love

But right now it's just not meant for me
It's just not meant for me
Because I feel like my heart ain't safe
I feel like my heart ain't secure

Somebody better come around here and mess it up
Ay, baby, I got some trust issues
Maybe I got some job issues
Maybe I got some trust issues

Ay, ay, ay
You weren't there for me
I was walkin' in the rain all by myself
Late at night, I was walkin' in the rain all by myself

Ay, you weren't there for me
So how you know about me
Ay, you weren't there for me
Lame nigga, so why'd you leave from me

Ay, you claim that you love me, but you don't love me
Ay, I see what you was doin
You was tryna set me up
Ay, you was tryna set me up

But I didn't know I could see through you
Ay, you don't know about me
But I don't care about it
Ay, you was tryna set me up

But failed, darling
Ay, you was tryna love some more
But I couldn't love no more
Ay, baby, you can do it

What is liberty
Ay, baby, you can do it
What is liberty
