Warm summer night
Maybe 85 degrees
Got lost in the moonlight
And cosmic dreams
Not a cloud in the dark sky
Clear as can be
Feels like ain't a star shining
That I can't see
Down way I hear the rustle of leaves
Hop off the porch
And embrace a cool breeze
In that moment I'm alive
If only so brief
For just a short time
I'm feral and free
An instant of understanding
What this all means
I'm such a small being
With great power untold
Earth, Heaven, and Hell
Mind, body, and soul
No discretion
On what's bought and sold
But this connection right now
Is better than gold
That blunt I rolled
Probably helped a little
But I love when a storm brews and I'm in the middle
Here's a riddle
Does nature get sentimental
When a man falls in the city
That vandalized her temple
I don't expect the rain
To clean all my pain off
I'm simply entertained
I enjoy the chaos
Like a moth to a flame
Maybe I've been brainwashed
Everytime it rains
I take shelter in the same spots
I don't expect the rain
To clean all my pain off
I'm simply entertained
I enjoy the chaos
Like a moth to a flame
Maybe I've been brainwashed
Everytime it rains
I take shelter in the same spots
Thunder claps
Lightning dances on the clouds
Bold illuminations
Punctuated by the sound
Of an angry God's fist
Striking vengeance upon the ground
As a cold steady drum
Beats the roof of every house
The rhythm drips down
Where a mural once stood
Now a jailhouse grey
Sits where street art should
Rainwater gathers
Where loved ones once would
Some nights them puddles are red
I'd trade my life if I could
From the same neighborhoods
But our mindsets differ
Used to hoop with no nets
We still shooters, we just bigger
Around here we grow up fast
But the bullets fly quicker
Some make it
Others die
Either way gossip queens bicker
Lamp posts flicker
Wind whips up debris
I watch the storm
Light my spliff
And question things I believe
There's a world I'll never see
Its really hard to conceive
I wish I could catch the lightning
And finally fucking leave
