[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
Every day I, wake up, to the same shit
In the same house, with the same bricks
In the same clothes, with the same kicks

I might as well be in jail
Caged in, stairin' at the wall waitin' for a change but
Dad telling me I gotta get a job
Couldn't pay the bills so the lights turned dark
Them Cleveland boys got it hard
Oh my god, we been living like this too long
Just to lose it all in a week
My people too strong
Get it? Me and my boys be blowin'
Puffing on weed like this the lawn
Me and my boys tired of being here
That is why we gone
They say we wouldn't amount to nothing, huh?
Y'all thought we was bluffing, huh?
Fought every temptation shit, I guess I'm David Ruffin huh?
Nowadays, we don't gotta do that dirt, tell my boys they good
And nowadays my little girl won't have to work, moved her out the hood
Look man, I done been through it all, and I'ma be damned if I got this far
And if I let them strip me of this message let these haters take my heart
This for the ones that had it hard, the ones like me, the underdogs
This for the ones that waited for them clouds to form, please god let it
[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
Oh, oh, you can't see my tears, in the rain
Oh, oh, you can't see my tears, in the rain
Underneath it all, we're just the same, same, same
You can't see my tears, in the rain
All around the world it's just the same, same, same
You can't see my tears, in the rain
No, so, I let it rain

[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]
Oh, and they mad that I made it out the city (What?)
But if you look I'm still out in the city (Oh)
Before everything I had clout in the city (Yeah)
Toured the states and never bounced on the city (No)
Shout out to everybody that's proud in the city (Hey)
Everybody cheering in the crowd from the city (Hey)
Everyone that never had doubts in the city
Cause they know I represent what we about in the city (Woo)
And I'm still laced up, tell the world that's nothing changed
'Till it's hundred dollar bills in my pocket, then nothings change
If my team ain't with me, then I don't wanna thang, tell them I'll go broke before I run out on my gang
EST over everything
100 thousand plus, cult fan base, yeah, that is us, my songs tattooed on they body troubled youth, we bad as fuck and what?
Nobody gave a shit about for broken mirrors
So I care less about appearance
Just as long as they can hear us
We're fearless, we're stupid, we're dealers, we're losers
We're killers, we're orphan's, we're addicts, we're stealers
We're shooters so kill us

We are what they say we are until conformity hits us
Or those clouds come down and take them all with us, please god let it
[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]
Oh, oh, you can't see my tears, in the rain
Oh, oh, you can't see my tears, in the rain
Underneath it all, we're just the same, same, same
You can't see my tears, in the rain
All around the world it's just the same, same, same
You can't see my tears, in the rain
No, so I let it rain

[Outro: Machine Gun Kelly]
Sample
Underneath it all, we're just the same, same, same
You can't see my tears, in the rain
All around the world it's just the same, same, same
You can't see my tears, in the rain

Half Naked and Almost Famous EP

In this song MGK lets his heart out and reminisces over the past struggles of his life, while teaching lessons, and reflecting on his hard work, that got him where he is today.

This song, specifically pertaining to the chorus can be a display of imagery that is focused on how fans perceive an artist. For some MGK, may seem like a happy, skinny, white-boy, living it up as a rapper. But there’s a lot of pain behind that fun life. It’s what we can’t see that’s the problem, not what we can. The same way you cannot see someone’s tears inside the rain, a smiling face will hide the eyes of pain.
