[Chorus]

When it rains, it pours

And I ain't never gon' forget how you left me soakin' wet

Or how quick you jumped the ship and left me stranded on the deck

Now I'm drownin' in the water to my neck

And I'm swimmin' hard as I can tryna make it to the lighthouse

The tide gon' pull me under any night now

I been fightin' for my life, nobody comin' through to help

It look like I gotta save myself


[Verse 1]

Yeah, all my babies bring me heaven while my life a living hell

And I'm very good at hidin' it so no one else can tell

I find comfort bеin' outnumbered, guess it's mе against the world

With my dirty Motorola and my scale

Yeah, yeah, I can't let my past come back to haunt me, gotta let it go

Where would I be if I kept sellin' dope? Guess we'll never know

Damn, I miss my brother, I'm afraid that I might never cope

The perfect time to find out my umbrella broke


[Chorus]

Is when it rains, it pours

And I ain't never gon' forget how you left me soakin' wet

Or how quick you jumped the ship and left me stranded on the deck

Now I'm drownin' in the water to my neck

And I'm swimmin' hard as I can tryna make it to the lighthouse

The tide gon' pull me under any night now

I been fightin' for my life, nobody's comin' through to help

It look like I gotta save myself


[Verse 2]

I'm tryna take a look at all the messes that I made myself

Might be time that I forgave myself

I'd nearly forgotten all the faces of the snakes that I done left

I was wavin' as I made it up the steps

Gotta savor every breath 'cause today might be the last day you get

I spent all my efforts tryna get a check, yeah

Say it's dog eat dog and I heard that from the vet

And I'll never let 'em doggy paddle back


[Chorus]

Yeah, 'cause when it rains, it pours

And I ain't never gon' forget how you left me soakin' wet

Or how quick you jumped the ship and left me stranded on the deck

Now I'm drownin' in the water to my neck

And I'm swimmin' hard as I can tryna make it to the lighthouse

The tide gon' pull me under any night now

I been fightin' for my life, nobody comin' through to help

It look like I gotta save myself


[Outro]

Long live Pif
