But I ain’t got a buck to catch the bus, chillin’ at the stop
Rain fallin’ hard as ever and it’s soakin’ my socks
F–k it, kick my kicks off and took off my jacket
Roll my jeans up beat up and my headphones blastin’
Blazed some weed up and started laughin’
While I’m splashin’ in puddles like
Mothaf–k a struggle we dancin’ in the rain

Just move yo a-s… just move yo a-s
