Lyrics
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window And I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray But your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window And I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray But your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad Dear Pat, I've must've missed you in the chat There be a lot of people that come to Super Facts It's hard to keep track and you know When I be talking I don't even be looking at the comments like that There be a lot of action, a whole lot of distractions And I can't really keep track of every interaction So you might have hit me, I just wanna say I didn't see it And I know you DM'd me, and that was supposed to be our little secret But I felt your language came a little strong Cut me some slack, I can't keep track of everything that's going on I ain't mean to put you on blast just to hurt you But understand that life is like a circle And what you asked for, I felt that I really would just give you You want acknowledgement, and I apologizin' But I think it opens up a bigger issue that we need to shed some light on Right or wrong, instead in the comments, I write a song My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window And I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray But your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad I mean Pat, I think you gotta understand I'm just a regular person, I'm just a man I know you like a fan you felt you did a lot for me But I had something to do with writin' them raps? Right? Possibly? I mean I did a lot to get to where I am A lot of sacrifices to have someone like you as a fan And this ain't easy man, the record labels are greazy and Even with all that I don't wanna downplay your role, believe me I think you playin' an important part in the arts But it's more than puttin' records on them charts We take a lot of pain, a lot of strain, a lot of frustration If you don't like what I do today, you just replace 'em With another artist, another rapper, who's more kind And the fear of losing stans will lose our minds I'm talkin', really going crazy And the last thing you wanna hear is some fans saying that you make me You know? But that keep paying my bills I mean you pay like 10 dollars to keep it real If you bought every album that'd probably be like 50 or 60 If you did a show that's another 35 That's less than a 100 dollars, that's not enough to keep us alive And I don't wanna downplay your input or your financial transactions to get us where we are but There's more to our job than just pretendin' to be a star My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window And I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray But your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad And in conclusion, to clear up the confusion Hope this would teach us all like a lesson That getting what we want, always is a blessing Sometimes it might be a curse, sometimes it might really hurt But that's the way life works So I just wanna say Pat Rooney, I think you're cool And this whole experience really gave me some jewels A real opportunity to set up some rules Not to be a jerk and not to be cruel But that goes both ways, so let's not make assumptions Or find a giant pool of conclusions to jump in So next time on the live, I hope to see you Signing off, I'm truly yours, this is Lu My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window And I can't see at all And even if I could it'd all be gray But your picture on my wall It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
