Lyrics

The Liner Notes

[Intro]

Why do you have an umbrella

Because the weather man said you have to have one at all times

Because it's going to rain cats and dogs

[Verse 1]

One-liner flow

See it in my liner notes

The kind of ideas make it seem like the thoughts

Took three hundred and sixty five nights

I picture the high life

Poolside, made my own terms from lonely nights

Born the wrong dog

They say old soul with kid's energy

Still draw from my torso for enemies

By any means, I've seen what it's worth

A curse, snakes and centipedes, venomous

Seems the only safe place is Venice Beach

I try to wrong my rights

I try to right my wrongs

I try to write my songs

Shine lights but the night is gone

Daybreak becomes the encore

Can't tell the day or state because I'm on tour

A young kid pumping De La Soul

I spit live

You could say, 'No Go'

Sixteen not a day, no flow

I grew up with nervous skaters

Some headed for greatness

Others served as waiters

Some nameless

Others were stars and straps ain't famous

Steel that ain't stainless

Hi haters, peace signs, see ya later

Lying for no reason, quit trying it's greasy

Easy target, walked up in Florida gators

Origin lost angels, support Lakers

Four finger discounts, just announce my fortress

Portraits of my get down, live from Belgium stages

LA made him, LA grazed him then LA saved him

It's back to the beach bitch where Miss Taylor raised him

My Momma opposite of Sarah Palin

With no gat from Russia looking back like, quit playing

Ev is here, staying

[Outro]

I do believe the idiom raining cats and dogs

Stems from the Norse mythology

Cats were believed to represent the wind

And dogs represented rain

Different animals represented different weather

And natural phenomenon
