Lost in the Rainy Season

Intro

Gray sky over the trailer, engine won't turn

Sixteen years old countin' pesos I earn

Rain on the tin roof, that's the only beat I know

Verse

Wake up at five, the puddles look like mirrors

Walking to work past the church and the dealers

Momma said prayers won't pay what the light bill say

So I flip what I got till the block start to sway

Torn up notebook full of bars and addition

Half of it rhymes, half of it's superstition

Corner store owner know me by my order

Two-dollar coffee, keep the change like a quarter

Wet shoes, cold hands, but my mind stay on fire

Every trap I climb out feel like barbed wire

Uncle said "slow down" but the season don't wait

Rain keep falling like it's writing my fate

I count clouds like they countin' my blessings

Every drop on the glass feel like a lesson

No umbrella but I walk with my chin high

Building something they can't wash out the sky

Hook

Lost in the rainy season, chasing what's mine

Puddles turn to mirrors, watch my future shine

Thunder keep on rolling but I don't mind the noise

Lost in the rainy season, turning static into voice

Verse

Six months later, got a mic and a mission

Same block, different sound, call it intuition

Momma's roof still leak but the check finally clearing

Neighbors used to whisper, now they finally hearing

Studio's a closet with a blanket on the wall

Vocal booth made of pillows, still I gave it all

Every verse I write is a receipt for the pain

Every hook I land wash away like the rain

Cousin pulled up crying, said "you made it out"

I said "not yet, but I can feel it, no doubt"

Sneakers wearing thin but my hunger stay sharp

Turned my block's silence into a symphony, art

Bought my momma boots so her feet don't get wet

Told her one day soon we ain't worried 'bout rent

Storm clouds still following wherever I go

But I learned how to dance in the undertow

Hook

Lost in the rainy season, chasing what's mine

Puddles turn to mirrors, watch my future shine

Thunder keep on rolling but I don't mind the noise

Lost in the rainy season, turning static into voice

Bridge

They said the sun don't shine where I'm from

Said the flood took the dreams, said the well run dry

But I built a boat out of broken drums

And I'm sailing past the reasons why

Every scar's a story, every drop's a debt paid

Every night I survived is a bet that I made

Outro

Rain still falling but I found my ground

Turned the storm into the sweetest sound

Lost in the rainy season, found my name

Same sky different me, ain't nothing stayed the same
