Lyrical Analysis of...
Rain on the Mystic feat. Post Malone and Jelly Roll
- *(Intro)*
- So when the sky grows heavy, and the ground starts to shake
- Remember Camp Mystic, remember the stakes
- For every loss, let the memory ignite
- SimpleSly's in the storm, still rappin' through the night
- *(Verse 1)*
- Yo, they called me SimpleSly, but ain't nothin' simple 'bout the sky
- When it cracks open wide and lets a million angels cry
- Camp Mystic—ghosts in the mist, I twist memories
- Water risin', baptizin' with a devil's misery
- One minute, laughter in cabins, scents of sunscreen and pine
- Next, the creek becomes a beast, swallowin' up the line
- Of innocence—shouts turn to silence in the flood's grip
- Pages in scrapbooks washed blank in a thunderous zip
- I'm spittin' for the ones who ain't here to tell the tale
- For every haunted mother starin' at a coffin nail
- Flood warnings ignored, bluebonnets drowned in the field
- Smiles floatin' downstream; sorrow's a wound that won't heal
- You can't swim out the past, it latches like a leech
- The water recedes, but the pain never leaves the beach
- I'm tryin' to rhyme hope outta trauma, build bridges with bars
- But sometimes, all you got is a prayer whispered to the stars
- *(Chorus)*
- Rain on the Mystic, tears in the wind
- Lightning sketches ghosts of the kin that we send
- To the river, to the heavens, to the holes in our soul
- I'm just spittin' verses trying to make us whole
- *(Verse 2)*
- Look—
- I ain't preachin' from a pulpit, I'm crawlin' through the mud
- Searchin' for sneakers and secrets, and every name in the flood
- I see the counselors’ faces—lost, frozen in time
- A Polaroid washed out, but the guilt's still prime
- They say "everything happens for a reason," well that's a weak line
- When the reason's a season drownin' dreams in decline
- Is fate just a storm with no mercy, no pause?
- Or karma for the callousness baked into our flaws?
- I grip the microphone tighter, channel Texas thunder
- Every word a sandbag, tryna keep the heart from goin' under
- We can't rewind the rain, can't unring the bell
- But we can shout their names, raise 'em up from this hell
- I tattooed their stories in the rhythm of my flow
- So every verse is a lifeboat, every beat lets 'em know
- That the world won't forget 'em—SimpleSly got the pen
- Turnin' tragedy to legacy, again and again
- *(Chorus)*
- Rain on the Mystic, tears in the wind
- Lightning sketches ghosts of the kin that we send
- To the river, to the heavens, to the holes in our soul
- I'm just spittin verses trying to make us whole
