[Intro | dark UK drill piano, sliding 808 sub bass, atmospheric rain textures] [Verse 1 | UK drill spitter, on-top-of-the-beat aggressive flow, close-mic'd, sliding 808s] Sitting in the dark flats, missing your touch Cold wind blowing hard right through the ends Every time I slide out, guns in the clutch They say that I'm moving with the wrong kind of friend You used to love me, tease me, rub me, please me Now the nights are greasy, take it easy How did God make Adam from the smallest of grains? While the queens run the earth through the pressure and pains My heart's colder than the depth of the north Close your mouth when the outlaws walk forth This city got cancer deep in her chest Don't ask me why I'm under the stress [Pre-Chorus | half-time drift, filtered pads building tension] Oh why... When the shadows start to fall Standing alone against the wall [Chorus | soulful UK garage vocal topline, reverb-soaked, emotive] When it rains, it pours Rained on before Walking out the door Got my umbrella for sure [Build | snare roll doubling every bar, white noise sweep, sub drop] [Drop | fast rolling drum & bass, 172 BPM, chopped amen break, dark reese bass, heavy sub weight] [Verse 2 | junglist MC chat, rapid-fire double-time flow, energetic soundsystem pressure] This is the life that we laid upon Mindstate way beyond the dawn Stuck in family court just trying to raise my sons They think I'm wilding out when I hit the stage for crumbs CD sales are flat, so we gotta hit the road Thirty days away and the bag is left unsold Wonder if they know the strain that she has to hold Bills piling high while the winter's getting cold Ain't how my mum raised me, kept the family tight Even without pops we survived the night That's why I'm missing your touch in the dark Stuck in the zone leaving a mark [Chorus | full DNB roll, massive vocal weight, chopped breaks] When it rains, it pours Rained on before Walking out the door Got my umbrella for sure [Outro | sub bass fading out, spring reverb tail, rain fading into silence]
