Ricolas & Raindrops ft. Juan Carlos Montemayor Jr.
Numatik — Sharks, Sheep & Sharp Teeth

[Verse 1: Numatik]
A look past the hourglass, eternity within my grasp
Even while I fall onto my back, I want to be forever known!
Forever quality! A Koala with my own brand of Eucalyptus leaves
Tides moving so fast, no time to share laughs
Wave after wave, I’ma wave to the last smack
I’ve been given more than I can bear!
More than I can lift onto my back, can you help me carry that?
My legs about to buckle, my heart feeling hollow
Drinking till I fall out, water in my bottles
This is how I cope, better run, grab your coat!
Keep the hustle up; I’ma be your number one!
I rage at the thought of, never falling in love…
Never finding the one, to confide in…
Am I in over my head? Only time will tell…
For now I jot it down, I know in time I’ll heal—

[Hook]
I could try to be me, I could try to believe
I could try to be your guy (your guy)
Whether I know where to be, or if I’m lost in the beat
I could try to read your mind (your mind)
Whether I know where you are, I’ll be forming my art
I’ll be the one on your side; I’ll be the one on your side
I’ll be the one on your side—

[Verse 2: Juan Carlos Montemayor Jr.]
My God, I don’t want a temporary fix
This pain is too real to just nix; it needs a crucifix
Where’s my faith? Father increase my measure
You know my heart and it’s treasure
You are my eternal pleasure!
Father, you have all of me, as I stand before you
Show me my value; rescue my mind, with your point of view
These raindrop lies argue, as breakthrough heals my tissue
But the truth is, I’m in you, reveal my interview
I’m hurting, and there’s nothing I can do but face the fear!
I could keep my love and honor on as I persevere!
Hope deferred made this heart sick! But your promise…
Of perfect love was extracted from no ordinary clique!
I’m choosing life, and I will never harden my heart!
I’m a real man, spirit-led, love is my art, dad, you said to ask
And I need love, for a congenial wife only comes from above!

[Bridge x2]
Pop Ricolas, pull up in my roller
Working for a paycheck, pay for all my products
See if you can follow where He leads, I’m His soldier
Starting with my left foot, my right is in a coma…

[Verse 3: Numatik]
Yo, I’ma give it to you straight—
Everything I am, all glory to the King!
Towering on high, powerful, most high
Even all of my words can’t capture Him, not quite…
And what’s glory without one to receive?
I belong in the seams, safe from dishonoring kings…
Pray, I devour the beast, and anybody who thinks—
I got to get mine, covet my dreams!
I don’t want to be a loser! And at the same time…
I don’t want to kill, and steal for me to move up!
I want to feel, instill a heart like Kunga
Given that I might, find light in what I do now
So I’m packing in my worth, find passion in my work
More breath behind my words, till I’m laughing out my shirt
I’ma rap without my curse…
Rap without my hurt, till I’m wrapping up my verses!
