Rain (feat. Rell, NOE & Starr)

****, we too close, can't stop prayin' now

Though it seems there's no end to this pain

Every time I close my eyes, I pray for rain

I pray for rain to wash away the strain, uh

****, we too close, can't stop prayin' now

Though it seems there's no end to this pain

Every time I close my eyes, I pray for rain

I pray for rain to wash away the strain, uh

You couldn't understand how much the pain weigh

So in the hood we love the rainy days

'Cause subconsciously, we know the sun's comin'

We love the winter 'cause we know the summer's comin'

Remember I got locked the same night my son was comin'

All I could do was pray that they don't take me away

And Lord knows I had the angel's on my side

They searched the car, I had the hammer in the ride

A miracle on Flat Bush Avenue

I still made it back to say push when she was havin' you

A newer version, a younger me

I want him to go to school and raise him up gun free

I swear, some places, I don't want him to be

And I swear, some things, I don't want him to see

But lil' boy, Daddy loves you truly

So the nights you don't see me, know Daddy's on his duty

****, we too close, can't stop prayin' now

Though it seems there's no end to this pain

Every time I close my eyes, I pray for rain

I pray for rain to wash away the strain, uh

What's a poor man's pickle? Survive through the poor

Pull the truck upfront and drive through the store

Had to be a felon, hated bein' pauper

Read the book of life and Satan was the author

Still I was the culprit rather be in Rikers

The bugger had my baby mama ran through them diapers

All of that shittin' and all those Pampers

Grandma layed up with all of that cancer

Lead paint flakin', constantly chippin'

Mama with that dark rum constantly sippin'

A five to my name a bad transmission

For gettin' in the game, that's a bad transition

One flip, one night, I'm olly olly oxen free

And get a newer place with a G

A couple Henny shots I'ma newer man, ready

To go and get paper, the hustler's confetti, I'm ready

****, we too close, can't stop prayin' now

Though it seems there's no end to this pain

Every time I close my eyes, I pray for rain

I pray for rain to wash away the strain, uh

I can truly understand

How life can drain all the passion from a man

With just one chance, he can change his circumstance

And get that money, baby, get that money, babe

Let's get this money, baby, yeah

****, we too close, can't stop prayin' now

Though it seems there's no end to this pain

Every time I close my eyes, I pray for rain

I pray for rain to wash away the strain, uh
