King Chav reaches back in gospel history grabbing the classic song “Melodies From Heaven” by Kirk Franklin and putting a new spin on it. Enlisting the help of Cary The Dreamer and production by Kaleb Mitchell, Melodies is a nostalgic song about remembering where all our inspiration comes from.
[Verse 1: King Chav]
Looking at the sky I'm preparing for the rain
Waiting on some joy been living in this pain
Got a couple thoughts been racing through my brain
But I know that grace the only way I maintain
Nah I ain't going insane in my membrane
Grew up a wild boy recently I been tame
Never really focused on the cars or the big chains
But I been focused on my drive, off in this lane
Reason I was made, still figuring the purpose
A diamond can't shine unless you unearth it
Looking at my life and the things that I did
Keep it yo 100 sometimes I feel worthless
The dirt needs rain to help a seed grow
And the dark need light to help the beam glow
Got a few questions I really don't know
But I'm running with the answer, now I feel like Eric Snow
So this is the remedy, making a better me, use all my energy
Won't be the end of me
Growing up steadily, pray that you settle me
Telling a story on top of this melody
Friends turn to enemies, even some kin of me
Negative energy, won't let it in to me
Prayers that intercede, time that was spent for me
Now I see everything that you got meant for me
Struggle only come to make you strong
Oh Lord I'm praying I can make it through this fight
Spent too much time looking back at my wrong
Pray I don't get left, before I get right
And I made something for your soul, something for ya peace
Something for control, something for release
Something for the lions, something for the sheep
Made something for my mama, and something for the streets boy
[Chorus: Cary The Dreamer]
It's a melody
It's a melody
You just gotta rain down, rain down, rain down
Won't you rain on me, won't you rain on me, I just want your melodies
Rain down, rain down, rain down
Lord won't you rain on me, I just want your melodies, won't you Lord rain on me
[Verse 2: King Chav]
Let it rain
It's exactly what we need sometimes
In the midst of the war, need peace sometimes
Won't hold my tongue, let me speak my mind
We divine, it's crazy how when I decrease that He inclines
At Heaven gates, like Kevin Gates I'm calling Jesus on at least 2 lines
I'm down here looking for your help
Knowing that the biggest enemy was myself
Caught in the glitz, stuck on the glamour
But for your favor, I'll put them on the shelf
Nah I ain't saying I ain't tryna get paid
But the clock running down on all of my days
And the truth works, I put you first
You would prosper me in all of my ways
Do you know what patience is? What about faithfulness?
That's what you need to just build a relationship
Depth and the space in it, love and the grace in it
You know it's pure, ain't nothing replacing it
Hope for the future, mind stimulation
Gotta seek ya father in ya lost situation
Joy is in the morning, ya gotta have patience
Pain comes first, it's a new penetration
Truth I was taught and learned through the grapevine
Tell the truth for my dogs, no canines
I just want the melodies to fall if it takes time
I just wanna see you oh Lord like Its FaceTime
Something for your soul, something for ya peace
Something for control, something for release
Something for the kids getting shot by police
Made something for church and something for the streets boy
[Chorus: Cary The Dreamer]
It's a melody
It's a melody
You just gotta rain down, rain down, rain down
Won't you rain on me, won't you rain on me, I just want your melodies
Rain down, rain down, rain down
Lord won't you rain on me, I just want your melodies, won't you Lord rain on me
