Intro
Yeah... The weather don't ask if you ready... It just fall...
Verse 1
Rain hit the concrete like it already know the code to the gate that keep the garden locked in tight AC unit drone in the window unit that never quite cool the room but we still pay the price every night Porch light flicker against the dark, bugs dance in the glow like the thoughts that won't let the body rest right A closed mouth can still be loud when the discipline in the spine decide it's time to speak its mind The mirror may not owe you mercy but the reflection show the places where the light still find a way to leak through the cracks you tried to hide Love loud but leave the door clean when you exit, don't bring the fire to the ones you swore you'd keep warm through the cold outside Every party got a morning after the music stop, the bottle remember what the spirit try to bury when it finally choose to heal instead of fold under the weight it tried to hide Rain on tin roof of the trap house sound like applause that never come for the quiet work you did in the dark
Chorus
No rain, no mango, the weather do what it do, Seed don't clap while it's breaking through the soil in the dark where nobody see the work Blessings got weight, make your knees shake 'fore they make you stand taller than you ever stood The long road know how to make you whole, after the music stop you still got heart that work No rain, no mango... The long road know how to make you whole...
Verse 2
Bottle don't forget the nights you tried to drown what the rain couldn't wash away from the concrete floor Spirit choose healing when the body finally tired of carrying what the mind refuse to feel no more Self-awareness hit different when the reflection don't flatter, it just show the version of you that you been running from before Grow stronger without becoming bitter, that's the real flex when the world try to make you cold to the core Give your heart in a way that bring light instead of fire, don't burn the ones who already walking through their own storm The morning after teach more than the party ever could, 'cause the quiet show you what the loud was trying to ignore Rain on car hood at 3am sound like the questions you been avoiding finally catching up to the door
Bridge
The mirror may not owe you mercy... But it show you what you need to see... Knees shake under the weight of what you prayed for... But that's how you learn to stand taller, see... The long road don't promise easy... It just promise it know how to make you whole... Yeah... The seed don't clap while it's growing...
Verse 3
Shortcut call your name when the rain get heavy and the fruit seem far from the tree you planted in the yard, But the seed don't clap while it's growing, quiet progress still become the thing that feed the ones who need it hard Love loud, leave clean, build the life after the music stop, the one that still got meaning when the lights go out in the dark Hands that feed when nobody clapping, door that stay open when the rain come and the cold try to push you apart The long road may be harder but it know how to make you whole, the one who can carry the blessing without it breaking your heart After the party, after the crash, after the bottle try to talk, the spirit that choose healing is the one that still got spark Quiet work in the dark don't need applause to become the fruit that feed the block when the rain finally pass
Chorus
No rain, no mango, the weather do what it do, Seed don't clap while it's breaking through the soil in the dark where nobody see the work. Blessings got weight, make your knees shake 'fore they make you stand taller than you ever stood. The long road know how to make you whole, after the music stop you still got heart that work. No rain, no mango... The long road know how to make you whole...
Outro
The weather don't ask permission... It just fall... And the seed... It just grow... The long road know how to make you whole...
Inside the recording
Yeah... The weather don't ask if you ready...
No rain, no mango, the weather do what it do, Seed don't clap while it's breaking through the soil in the dark where nobody see the work Blessings got weight, make your knees shake 'fore they make you stand taller than you ever stood
The weather don't ask permission... It just fall...
