Some of my friends can't get it right 
some of my friends been getting married 
I got friends in a prison cell
I got friends in a cemetery
my good friend's been doing time
I got a letter from him last February I know he's fucked up but I tried to tell him that the situation's just temporary 
Aye bro it's been a minute now 
tell me how you been living now
he wrote me back he said things are good J things are good they're just different now 
still not sure when I'm getting out 
a lot of friends they've been switching now
he knows it, I know it, he shouldn't be in this position now 
bad shit keeps happening 
to good people it's baffling
time and time again this ain't new but I guess we gotta keep balancing 
Tryna keep spirits up high, but shit ain't always right
I ain't get no sleep these problems kept me up last night 
(Blank Name) you know that I meaning all the shit that I say 
we gon kick it like the good old days
when you get out I'll take a rain check 

I guess I'll take a rain check
aye can you feel the pain yet
tired of the same shit 
holding on for dear life
I'm running out of patience aye 
can I get a rain check? Can I get a rain check?
sick and tired of the same shit .. running out of patience
I know I keep on asking but can I take a rain check
I guess I'll take a...

I hate thinking back on this
it fucks with my peace of mind story bout a homie named Greg that I met in high school who was a real good guy 
known in town as a respected dude
big old smile and a sense of humor type of kid who had his shit together you could tell he had a bright future 
type of energy that stuck with me the way he moved just always stuck with me
way back when I was writing raps he used to bump my shit
man he fucked me
he told me Jerry brother you a superstar
back then that was reassurance
I had 50 fans and a mixtape on a burnt CD praying people heard it
Fast forward a bunch of years later he would message me we'd always keep in touch
showing love just saying keep it up around the time I started heating up 
Shortly after I got bad news nothing short of a disaster
I got a call from a family friend they said Greg is sick he has cancer
how's that possible he's 26
he'll beat it dog I got hope
they said it's in his brain it's worst case scenario
it's sad but chances are low 
12 months if he's lucky 
and it's rare that people get lucky truth be told man it fucked me up 
I watched the situation get ugly
When he got sick
we chilled like 2 or 3 times
gotta come clean I can't lie
he was so strong that every time he'd talk about it
I could barley even look him in the eyes
He passed away just like the doctors said he would 
damn I wish that they were wrong cuz I'd much rather be kicking it
instead of sitting writing this song
I guess I'll take a rain check 

I guess I'll take a rain check
aye can you feel the pain yet
tired of the same shit 
holding on for dear life
I'm running out of patience aye 
can I get a rain check? Can I get a rain check?
sick and tired of the same shit .. running out of patience
I know I keep on asking but can I take a rain check
I guess I'll take a...

Time slipped away from me 
Time slipped away (x2)

Time slipped away from me 
Time slipped I waved goodbye 
Time slipped away from me 
Time slipped away 

I guess I'll take a rain check
aye can you feel the pain yet
tired of the same shit 
holding on for dear life
I'm running out of patience aye 
can I get a rain check? Can I get a rain check?
sick and tired of the same shit .. running out of patience
I know I keep on asking but can I take a rain check
I guess I'll take a...
