The Rain (feat. Jill Scott)

Lyrics

Yeah, uh, uh, uh, can I feel the rain
 What, what, we're about to do it like
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 The rain gon' come through the window, pain gon' come
 Black, white, rich, poor, it's the same old drum
 Rainy days like the war, use wisdom as a weapon
 Hold your head up, dry your clothes and keep steppin'
 Let the children feel the rain, 'cause if they feel the rain
 From the wetness, they stand to gain
 I came into the game, it felt like the middle of June
 Music was warm, artists, like flowers, they bloom
 Then boom, I shook the room, many felt the thunder
 My time to shine, did it like summer
 I wondered if the sun would shine forever
 Pops said, "Rain gon' come", to him I said, "Never"
 Cheddar in the genes, face on screens
 Got a Benz wit' the sheen, but what did it all mean
 I earned money and burned money, credit cards smokin'
 Platinum, Grammy's, famous, but still broken
 Not having cash put me in check
 Yo, the road to the riches is slippery when wet
 Amongst the fall is where you truly find yourself
 Ever since then, the rain I never felt, deal wit' it
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 At age seventeen, the worst pain, a hurricane
 Her first name still conjures the rain
 Vowed to never let nobody ever get me wet
 Lest we forget, love is a four season concept
 Many say the rain they can't stand
 Never let the weather determine the man
 God has a plan, from it I never ran
 Follow my heart through the storm, my umbrella in hand
 I'm Noah, life's my ark
 Forty days and forty nights, still can't take my heart
 Seen the fallen man, to dope and liquor brands
 The devil'll dance to make it rain, bringing the pain
 Walk through the puddles of struggle on flooded streets
 Soakin' wet, but mastered the art of peace
 Through gray skies, I grew wise, on bended knees I knelt
 Since then, the rain I never felt, what's wit' it
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 Sometimes I sit in my room, stuff on my mind
 Stress, can't rest, so I open the blinds
 Seen kids in the streets, runnin' around
 It wasn't touchin' 'em, but the rain was comin' down
 I wondered how, with my mouth wide
 Reminisce of the key, I said I wanna go outside
 In the rain, to see if the same would happen to me
 'Bout that time, God started rappin' to me
 He said, "Pain is the mother of change, the rain must flow
 So the seeds of joy might grow
 Don't be afraid, find shelter in Me
 The road to greatness, through the valley of adversity"
 I felt the light as He proceeded to drop the gem
 These little children, the world we must receive like them
 I just smiled and thanked Him for the cards He dealt
 And since then, the rain I never felt, what's wit' it
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it, feel it coming over me
 The little rain drops fallin' down on me
 But I can't seem to feel it, feel it
