Icarus
Cloud Conversations Pt 2
[Kayem]

I talk to the clouds in a gray sky
Tryna persuade them to lemme stay dry
Cause I know when it rains it pours
You get to solving all those problems in that brain of yours
The rain drops start to huddle
And then they form a puddle
It's starting out real subtle
But next thing you know its trouble
Now, you've got a full blown storm on your hands
But you come out at the end as more of a man
And once you feel the pain grow
Be patient
Then you'll see the rainbow
And that's what I told one fella
When it rains hard, faith is my, my umbrella
You can stand under mine
When the sun don't shineAnd the thunder cries
And you wonder why
That this life don't treat you fair
But God don't place a burden on us more than we can bare
So I done laughed at pain more than one time
Cause I know
After rain comes the sunshine
And I've faced my fears and tasted tears
But those ain't wasted years
So the combination of confrontation and complications
Leads to congregations of condensation
Which makes rain
The conservation of compensation's a paper chase
To be like the stars
So constellations can take blame
Follow the law?
I follow Allah
And then I hear the athan and I follow the call
You think you're cursed to be worse than the
Person immersed in perversity
Your purpose be to purposely
Overcome the adversity
So Rise up! It's your moment in time
Its your moment to climb
Its your moment to shine
So every person here
Should persevere
When you see them dark gray clouds first appear
[Chorus, Peter Frank]

I've been waiting all my life
For this moment in my life
And I just pray I do things right
To get me through the night
When the rain starts pouring down
And the thunder's getting loud
You hear these prayers come out my mouth
In Conversations with the Clouds

[Verse 2, Kayem]

I talk to the clouds in a gray sky
When I feel my dreams falling by the wayside
So every day I
Try harder
To fill in the shoes of my father
I'm really confused so why botherThe same water made him die a martyr
So, when his soul got washed away
A lil boy watched and prayed
Then lost his way
But then he grows up
Its part of the plan
And he tries to blow up
As hard as he can
He knows the water that can take away a King's breath
And bring death
And flood a city til there ain't a thing left
Is the same water that makes the flowers bloom
Crops them fields when you plowing through em
Helps the ladies get fresh in the powder room
And can save the day from a drought of doom
But the pain goes on
So my raincoat's on
Thats one of the reasons I remain so strong
I'm living good now, my life is twice as great
I got sunshine like Kentucky's license plate
So now I'm dancing in the rain
Like a stripper when you tip her and she glancing at your chain
But I ain't worried bout no dollar bills
Or Impala wheels
Cause Khaled's real
Think you look fly in the ride?
You trying to hide
The fact that you dying inside
If you ain't cruising a Benz
With shoes on the rims
You losing your friends
And you thought yall was dudes to the end
So Rise Up!
Its your moment in time
Its your moment to climb
Its your moment to shine
So every person here, should persevere
When you see them dark gray clouds first appear
[Chorus]
