Taxi Driver - Cecily, AkinG Kalld Pedro

Not to have to strive for a dollar struggle for the pay, pay

And enjoy the rain

[Hook 1: Cecily &

AkinG Kalld Pedro

Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain

Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain

From AdMo to Georgetown and maybe Barry Farms

Life is short to be driving this long

From DuPont to Fairfax back to nat’s mall

Pray I can say

thank God for the rain

The unexamined life is not worth living

12 hours of work and he just want to sleep

No poets here speaking we don’t follow Socrates

Sticker on the dash of my father’s taxi as he drives

Every night and every day

Damn!

every night racks his brain

Fuck!

he has no time to complain

Who he got a slap just to get some better pay

He comes home to aches in his back feeling sore

He really hates the idea of living so poor

But he gotta keep it up 'cause he’s a father of four

He wonders when God picked his life, was he sure?

From PG to uptown and maybe Southeast

He drives his passengers to spots that they need

From Southwest to Trinidad more routes than a train

Any destination less the sky turns gray

[Verse 2: AkinG Kalld Pedro &

Cecily

He drives hookers hustlers kids and dumb teens

Bammas brokers lawyers and immigrants G

Fresh off the boat, he came here with a dream

To earn millions but this life won’t squeeze

A simple c-note his slot machine, uh

Got no casino he honks and he screams

When he stuck on I-95 in a traffic jam

I couldn’t feel his anger till I turn 23

So I write this shit for my pops (

Pops!

On his lunch break eating in the parking lot (

Lot!

When I was 17 he made my life a living hell (

Hell!

But little did I know the same tales will help me sell (

Oh!

My pain down the block of NorthWest U St

Brooklyn, Chinatown, and spots in NYC

I wonder if he knows how determined I’m to blow

Till he hears his son’s song playing on the radio singing

Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain

Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain

From AdMo to Georgetown and maybe Barry Farms

Life is short to be driving this long

From DuPont to Fairfax back to nat’s mall

Pray I can say

thank God for the rain

Ugh!

thank god for the rain, thank God for the rain

Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain

From AdMo to Georgetown and maybe Barry Farms

Life is short to be driving this long

From DuPont to Fairfax back to nat’s mall

Pray I can say
