Saint Khaled - West Coast Rain Lyrics

Had it all planned since the second grade
I'd study hard, and then I'd move to the states
An arab boy who didn't think he'd make it big
With an arab name
I was wrong

Left my friends and my family
Trying to chase all my big dreams
Now I'm not so sure of myself
Cause this rain, this rain
Don't stop on the west coast
This rain, this rain
Don't stop on the west coast
This rain, this rain
Don't stop on the

Instead I moved to Canada
Cause school was cheaper
Studied how to be a software engineer
So I could fund this music I make

It worked so far
But, there's a caveat
Welcome to your 9-5
Where you'll likely spend the rest of your life
You didn't think you'd leaving us so soon
So soon

Left my friends and my family
Trying to chase all my big dreams
Now I'm not so sure of myself
Cause this rain, this rain
Don't stop on the west coast
This rain, this rain
Don't stop on the west coast
This rain, this rain
Don't stop on the west coast

Maybe in the end it didn't matter
Changed my mind about the matter
Now I do it just for me
Comes naturally
Like when I eat or breathe
Truth is all I wanted was the love
But I wasn't looking in the right place
Stars in my eyes got me blinded
It was right in front of me
But I threw it away
What a shame

I really thought that ruby skies was gonna make it
