Rainy Days

I hate when it rains
All I really do is sit on my ass
Thinking of the next scheme just
To double my cash
If I ain't thinking about cash
Nigga I'm thinking bout' life
Making a change
No winners do the same shit twice
Rainy days are a pain
Felt the rush through my veins
Can't go to sleep
Somebody's looking through my window pane
Mane, I swear I'm gon' catch em'
But maybe I'm trippin' like Scarface
My mind's playing tricks on me homie
When it rains, shit
I just wanna know where Do' is
Is he safe, warm and out the elements?
Mommy let him come home
I think a nigga done doing wrong
I get scared of the day when
His soul will be gone
It's spoken words to thoughts never
Been spittin' in vain
It seems the only way to sunshine
Is through the hard rain
I need to find a path leading to change
Ask God if he feels my pain
That please won't you stop the rain

Please stop the rain
Ask God if he feels my pain
Please stop the rain please stop the rain
Ask God if he feels my pain
Please stop the rain

Grey clouds started forming
Gathered around my father's homecoming
When his soul on this earth was summoned
I remember a white church
And my lips had a salty taste
From the tears runnin' down my face
Can't erase the hurt
Watchin' my father's body lowered in dirt
My uncle and cousin passed too
What's life worth?
If it rained sometimes I would
Just sit there and cry
At recess, didn't wanna play
I just wished I would die
Things rushed through my head back
When I was eleven
Praying and hoping that my dad
Had made it to heaven
It was hard being the youngest
And no one helped me everybody seemed happy
And no one felt me
But regardless of the fact
I did the best that I can
Making the transition from boy straight
To a grown man
But understand, I felt the shame
And I feel the same, that God just needs
To stop the rain please stop the rain
Ask God if he feels my pain
Please stop the rain please stop the rain
Ask God if he feels my pain
Please stop the rain

Back then I was young
Now I'm grown here to fend on my own
I'm speaking and bringing the truth
Through this lyrical poem
And it's hard cause these niggas can't see
Open up your eyes you can recognize me
I felt the rain like every other nigga did
Nigga always slip and stand up so I slid
It's part of the life while
Every thing seems trife
And everything wrong very well may be right
It's just confusing and some
People can't handle their mind breaks down
And their hearts start to dismantle
But I'm that boy to use
The hand of evil dreams
God realize that this life is
Way more then it seems
It's just something you learn on the
Daily as your mind matures
Can't ruin the life with a heart so pure
And since I realize that things won't change
God you can keep with the same
Cause Im'a just deal with the rain
Im'a deal with the rain
Tell God just to leave it the same
Im'a deal with the rain

Rainy days okay, why's that?
Yeah in Cleveland, it rains
Not all the time but
To a kid who wants to go out and play
It seems like it rains every day
Kids expect it to rain sometimes but
For one kid it rained too much
