with my raincoat on

it's alright baby hold my hand
i ain't trying to be your man
let's take it slow, relax a little
make it so it's natural
as a matter of fact, lets take it black
to the very first day i had your back
we shared a cab, shared a laugh
shared a glass & i kissed your ass.

kissed your lips after class
we both had history after math
passing notes teacher asking for em
i read them out loud to the the class like a poem on wrap
say it like i mean it with my beats on tap
hank in my pocket like i'm rough like that
if you like what you're hearing you can meet out back

with my raincoat on
in the heart of the sun
with my raincoat on
in the heart of the city

i la la la lost my mind
i la la la lost my lady
i la la la lost my mind
well i la la la love you babyyyy

it crossed my mind
that i lost my mind
i guess i should check back in sometime
sometimes the perfect little word rhymes
&sometimes it don't, fine,
rewind. repeat it 3 times if you mean it
i wanna crib by the beach, believe it
so baby doll i'm leaving,
baby doll i'm leaving

duffelbag - filled with clothes
notebook - filled with flows
phone book - filled hoes
my dope book, don't get my clothes
my hope is what drives me toward this future like a midnight double feature
so high when i blow those tweeters
in these speakers

with my raincoat on
in the heart of the sun
with my raincoat
in the heart of the city

i la la la lost my mind
(she's out the door)
i la la la lost my lady
(she's out the door)
i la la la lost my mind
(she's out the door)
well i la la la love you babyyyy
(she's out the door)

woke up at about noon
just thought i had to be in concert soon
to get my head lined up
and a new tattoo
the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
the mack of the year
shwayzes a fool
take you to school and pick you up too
maybe i'd do anything for you
maybe i'd do anything for you
maybe i'd do anything for you
would you do it for me

i la la la lost my mind
(she's out the door)
i la la la lost my lady
(she's out the door)
i la la la lost my mind
(she's out the door)
well i la la la love you babyyyyy
(she's out the door)

yo man life is good right now
i'm next to the beach my feet in the sand
and you gone and i'm happy
whatever baby.

(chorus fade out)
