This song was leaked on SoundCloud by Eyenonymous in 2016. Written by TLC member T-Boz, she wrote this song as a tribute to her late, fellow group member, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. This was given to Blaque as they were a group that Left Eye mentored and managed.
[Intro: Brandi, Left Eye interview]
Ooh ow ooooh
Timing is everything, time, space and energyWhen I first got in TLC, I was in somewhere at the right time
With the right people
Oh ohhhhhh
It's like some of the things that we go through it's like
Dang! Why we always have to be the ones?
Why everything has to happen to us? But at the same time
If we didn't go through the bad times the struggles, hard work
We wouldn’t be as close as we are
We wouldn’t be as strong as we are
We wouldn't be as wise as we are
[Verse 1: Shamari (Blaque)]
I'm sittin' here in front of this window
Wondering how this window pane (Takes all this pain)
From beating down on me (Beating down on me)
Every drop reminds me of when
(I showered you with love and still I got nothin)
But you’re still my sunshine (Even on cloudy days, I'm here)
What's it gonna take to make our forecast clean
[Chorus (Shamari, Blaque)]
When I see the rain is fallin' (Ohhhhh ooh)
The storm ain't my callin' (My call)
The pain is gaining, I feel me fading
But I can't leave you now (I can't leave)
Don't know how we'll be together (We'll be together)
No matter the weather, it's me and you
[Verse 2: Shamari, with Blaque (Blaque)]
Tell me why these dark clouds
Are ruinin' our perfect skies
You promised that you'll return when the storm was done
Rain, sleet, hail, snow you know I'm the one
(The sun won't shine) Tomorrow, tomorrow
(My heart anchors pain) And sorrow, the sorrow
How hard-ely (Drops down on me)
But it was only my tears
So what's it gonna take to make our forecast cleaaaaan
[Chorus (Shamari)]
When I see the rain is fallin'
The storm ain't my callin' (The rain is fallin')
The pain is gaining, I feel me fading
But I can't leave you now (I can't leave you!)
Don't know how (Nahhh ohhh)
We'll be together (We'll be together yeah)
No matter the weather, it's me and you
[Bridge: Shamari (Blaque)]
(Oooh) Don't give up on me now
We've come to far to let it all just wash away
(Why hesitate, this can turn around any day)
The rain will dry up soon
Promise we'll be singin' a different tune
(Feenin' for better days)
We'll make a classic aga-ain!!!!!
[Chorus (Shamari, with Blaque)]
When I see the rain is fallin' (Our callin!)
The storm's our callin'
The pain is gaining, I feel me fading
But I can't leave you now (Whoo!)
Don't know how (I said it don't matter)
We'll be together (It don't matter!)
No matter the weather,(It's gonna be) it's me and you
(You, you)
(Nobody but you baby, ooh oohhh)
[Outro: Natina]
See, so now you have it
See, energy never dies
It just transforms
Like this
I love you Lisa
