[Intro: Conway the Machine]
Machine, bitch
Put some respect on my name
Machine, bitch
You gotta salute me
Forever
Yeah
And ever and ever, ever
Are you not entertained, you bitch?
Put some respect on my name
Uh
Forever (Bangladesh)
And ever and ever, ever
Talk to 'em

[Verse 1: Conway the Machine]
Put on for my city, you know who kicked in the door first (Huh?)
I still got a lot to do, I still got more work
Before the music popped, I usеd to rap on my porch first
Then we used thе pot, got it in with the fork work
Shed so many tears like a Mr. Shakur verse
Before rap, I fell in love with the sports first (No cap)
Before the 'Bach, I fell in love with the Porsche first
Yeah, young woman giving up her body for a Dior purse
She don't understand that she really have more worth
You a queen, baby, you just need to see your worth
Machine back, givin' them the gospel, this more church
My dog went to prison, came home and did more dirt
Had to tell my young boy to chill, that's your fourth Perc'
I love him, somethin' happen to me, he finna scorch earth (Brrt)
I don't listen to these n***as' music, it all be cap
I was uninspired for a minute, this brought me back
I'm an Outkast like Big Boi, but I'm more Three Stacks
I might retire and play the flute, I'm so bored with rap
Shit, feelin' like I needed more
Even though I had just completed that European tour
When I was feelin' defeated, nobody even called
To check on me at all, you 'posed to be my dog
Even when I accomplish somethin', they don't give me applause
They just down-talkin' my name when speakin' to them broads
You the same n***as that always, "Big bro, big bro," me to death, was MIA when I needed y'all
That's why I cut my ringer off
I don't wanna even talk, nah, I don't wanna text
'Bout to change my number next
But look, on another note, I just left the bank and I deposited another check
That was just a subtle flex (Talk to 'em)
Machine
[Chorus: 7xvethegenius]
Rain
Rain, tears to fall, they leave a glow
Look how far we've traveled through the pain
Made tears of water, here's the grow
Look how far it's brought us, here's a way

[Refrain: 7xvethegenius]
Long nights, fighting through the pain
Another day I made it through the rain
Gotta lose yourself sometimes to find you
Gotta move yourself just to remind you

[Chorus: 7xvethegenius]
Rain
Rain, tears to fall, they leave a glow
Look how far we've traveled through the pain

[Verse 2: D Smoke]
I love how the drums got textures, the live music
That used to be our escape when the sky was bluish
Grayish cloudy with chance of rain, I'm a silent nuisance
And my feelings bottled up, used to pry, but useless
Effortless and futile attempts to break through my wall and feel helpless
I was so selfish, you not a Cancer, but turned to shellfish
Pearl of the clam, preserving your precious heart that melted
Every time we let that flame do its thing and I went Elvis
Dancin' on your boundaries
Every man done been a joker, confronted the clown in me
It's a shame you had that clover in hand and was countin' leaves
"Do he love me? Do he love me not? Or is he bound to leave?"
I recall when we were hiking, observing astounding trees
And it began to rain and what beauty we found indeed
It soothes me you would move on to new things that make you smile like Christmas Eve
Every crown hits the ground, but you still a queen, believe
[Chorus: 7xvethegenius]
Rain
Rain, tears to fall, they leave a glow
Look how far we've traveled through the pain
Made tears of water, here's the grow
Look how far it's brought us, here's a way

[Refrain: 7xvethegenius]
Long nights, fighting through the pain
Another day I made it through the rain
Gotta lose yourself sometimes to find you
Gotta move yourself just to remind you

[Chorus: 7xvethegenius]
Rain
Rain, tears to fall, they leave a glow
Look how far we've traveled through the pain
