gripp - make it rain lyrics
[verse 1: gripp]
i’m in a vampire body, sucking them dry
shrunken heads in my apartment set up in a line
on the mantle like the ugliest shrine to something divine
funny how it sneaks up and comes from behind
crushes the spine to dust, blows it fluttering by
and suddenly we’re all looking hungry and lithe
we add to our collections. impressive how they curl their lips
these are the faces of every woman and girl i’ve kissed
sick on the tilt-o-whirl, it tips
paint chip tongues. a wizard doing merlin tricks
in all earnestness, feel the furnace lit
i might slip; no purchase on surfaces
but please do not lie to me. pity is not piety
guilt is not absolution. this city i walk silently
tip-toeing through the frozen streets
‘cos if you are what you eat, i’m made of crows and feet
[hook: gripp]
i make it rain, but not like throwing stacks of ones
not like telling women: “drop it low and back it up.”
i make it rain, rain like a heavy cloud
exhaling and ending the drought
i make it rain not like sipping patron
tossing money, calling women b-tches and hoes
no. i make it rain, rain like a heavy cloud
exhaling and ending the drought
[verse 2: gripp]
there’s no way to escape it, the fakeness
men learn how to shape-shift—i hate this—
peel the mask back, call it a face lift
brand new eyes—no lasiks
the romance dissipates quick. the message is raw:
look how wretched we are
the vestiges of oppression still etched in the scars
and we’re resecting new sections of hearts. reset the alarms
we are the burglars they offered homes
we thanked them, dipped our hands in the coffers, stole
we’re all cast in this awful mold
so we ought to know enough to be cautious, yo. watch us grow
how dare we keep testing the lines
of where bodies connect to their minds?
how dare we this heat, this archery?
how dare we this greed, this larceny?
[hook: gripp]
[verse 3: gripp]
no goddess in the machine
no guidance, problems in the extreme
a populace dotted with the disease
rotten leaves toppling from the trees
guessing which direction is next
‘cos every path is only a collection of steps
and it’s not the same as pressing reset
but we can change the impression for men, the message we get
like: you’re not owed anything. no surprise
women already live in a war zone; don’t comply
vocalize. it’s the only way to open minds
this is the hull being broken open when two boats collide
can’t be a panacea, but don’t be a paralytic
be a safe haven from that arrogant sh-t. we have to give it
a rest. that’s what we’re telling them now
‘cos water’ll wash as well as it drowns. we’re through filling the clouds now
[hook: gripp]
[outro: gripp]
i’m in a vampire body, sucking them dry
i’ve got this vampire body, sucking them dry
we live in bodies, sucking them dry
now take your fangs out (out, out)
we live in bodies, sucking them dry
now take your fangs out (out, out)
we live in vampire bodies, sucking them dry
shrunken heads our apartments set up in a line
on mantles like the ugliest shrines to something divine
funny how it sneaks up and comes from behind
crushes our spines to dust, blows it fluttering by
and suddenly we’re all looking hungry and lithe
but who am i?
said who am i?
who am i?
[outro: various]
you… you hear the phrase all the time, like:
“oh. well what were you wearing?
were you drinking that night?”
all of these questions
but it could also be something as simple
as not having conversations with your children—
male or female—
about what inherent violence is
and how to just be kind to people
men just feel like
they can just do anything they want
with impunity
and they don’t call each other out
