lyrics
Went & gotta raise
& made my own parade
I guess you could say
Ain’t no rain, no (2x)
Little eyes watching signs
Till the sevens align
In the casino to grind
Go unwind with poolsides
That’s a meager piece of pie
All one in your king-sized-room
Go roam with your buddies from back home
I know my way around a butt of a joke
Uncle said that I’m too Hollywood
To dig him a hole
That was a grave mistake
Now I’m rescinding his role
As the greatest Native actor
South Dakota could mold
I’ve been chattering with fam as of late
Tryna build upon the acres maintaining some good faith
Can’t fix the stankface
Can’t pick the ones who stay
When shit hits fan blades
I miss them everyday
Went & gotta raise
& made my own parade
I guess you could say
Ain’t no rain, no (3x)
Woke up this morning thank the Creator for today
And even though I see no rain
I’m still dealing with this pain
Left my hometown
In search for better days
From Camp Verde to Phoenix
Running straight to LA
I got my family by my side
And when my ego big
My momma tells me “check my pride”
Went from ceremonies in the desert
To ceremonies on the mic
And when my eagle flying big
My momma tells me come outside
Look at me I’m killing it
Straight from the Rez
These hardships I’m fluent in
I got my family thick & thin
All I ever do is win
And if they wanna hate on me
I tell them come again
I’ve been through hard times
& I got through em all
Can’t be the greatest if you never had the chance to fall
That’s why I took every shot when I had the ball
That’s why I pick up the phone
When opportunities call
Went & gotta raise
& made my own parade
I guess you could say
Ain’t no rain, no (3x)
Aho, my voice ain’t very good but I’ll try my best.
I coulda been in the race
I coulda been on the road
I coulda been in ur face
I coulda been on the ropes
I coulda been in
I coulda been in
I coulda been in (4x)
But I stayed with you until your grave
Thank you for all that you gave
