lirik lagu k-cipher - rain check
[verse 1]
the calendar’s blank, just a paper ghost on the wall
where dates were circled heavy, meant for a hopeful call
you said, “soon as i get the paycheck, soon as the coast is clear
we’re leaving this whole chapter behind, getting out of here.”
we built a blueprint out of whispers and cheap cafeteria food
a fortress of fantasy, misunderstood by the multitude
i bought the ticket for the escape hatch, hеld it tight in my fist
but the train kept passing by, a moment that always missеd
now the ticket’s just dust, the paper thin and worn
and every time the promise comes up, i just feel the scorn
you handed me an empty cup and called it lemonade
said, “trust me, son, the sun is coming,” but the gray cloud stayed
[chorus]
rain check. that’s the word they give you when the hope is due
“not today, kid, gotta wait, maybe when the sky turns blue.”
the promise is postponed, the dream put on layaway
but i’m running out of patience, and i’m running out of days
i never needed diamonds, just the simple guarantee
that the person i looked up to would finally come through for me
now the forecast is failure, the outlook permanently gray
and i’m tired of waiting for a clear day
[verse 2]
i tried to frame it different, told myself it was strategy
that the delay was preparation for a bigger, grander tragedy
but the truth is cold and linear, it doesn’t bend or break—
the commitment was conditional, a risk you wouldn’t take
you see my potential now, right? the album, the microphone glow
and you want to step back in, reaping seeds you didn’t sow
you want to talk about the future, the plans we’re gonna make
but i remember the silence, the calls you wouldn’t take
that silence is louder than any stadium ovation
it’s the empty echo in the heart of this young generation
so keep your apologies, keep the revised timeline
i learned my lesson early: this victory is mine, not thine
[bridge]
it’s not resentment, it’s just the cold math of disappointment
subtracting expectations from reality is the final ointment
you taught me self~reliance, not by example, but by absence
and for that unexpected gift, i guess i’ll offer my thanks
i cashed your rain check in for independence instead
[chorus]
rain check. that’s the word they give you when the hope is due
“not today, kid, gotta wait, maybe when the sky turns blue.”
the promise is postponed, the dream put on layaway
but i’m running out of patience, and i’m running out of days
i never needed diamonds, just the simple guarantee
that the person i looked up to would finally come through for me
now the forecast is failure, the outlook permanently gray
and i’m tired of waiting for a clear day
[outro]
no more waiting
the clear day… i make my own
