"Rainy Dayz" is a song by Mary J. Blige & Ja Rule, taken from Blige's re-release of her fifth studio album No More Drama. The Song was the final single lifted from No More Drama and was released to coincide with the release of the reissue. The Irv Gotti produced duet became another hit for both, while peaking at #12 on Billboard's Hot 100 and #17 in the UK.
The track was originally written for TLC but the group turned the track down. References to TLC being the group in mind when the track was written can be heard in the lyrics "We’re always livin’ so crazy and sexy and cool" (in reference to their album CrazySexyCool) and "Baby didn’t we tell you before about chasin’ those waterfalls" (in reference to their 1995 single "Waterfalls"). The track also has a reference to the Marvin Gaye song "What's Goin' On."

Rainy Days is a 1928 Our Gang short silent comedy film directed by Robert A. McGowan. It was the 71st Our Gang short that was released.
Recess is an American animated television series created by Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere (credited as "Paul and Joe") and produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. The series focuses on six elementary school students and their interaction with other classmates and teachers. Recess first aired on ABC from 1997 through to 2001, and reruns aired on Disney Channel in the United States.
The show premiered on August 31, 1997 with the first season spanning 26 episodes. The second season premiered on Saturday, September 12, 1998. Disney brought the show back for a third season of 8 episodes which began on September 11, 1999 premiering on ABC as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning while the fourth season premiered at the same time, but airing on UPN as part of Disney's One Too. Season three was notably shorter than the previous ABC seasons. This was because the staff were busy with Recess: School's Out. Outside of the U.S., the individual 11 minute episodes of season three and season four were weaved together to create one long season. Season five premiered on September 9, 2000 while season six premiered on October 31, 2001 concluding the series with the last episode airing in November 2001.
The day is rather cold, you woke up early in the morning The helicopter brought you bad dreams in the night Don´t mind the soldier checked up your bags after shopping He only compared the purchase prices for his bride
In the prohibited area You see the scrap down on the road afar Thank God you haven´t taken away a scar The English Army just blew up your car
Tonight a Sinn Fein member is on British TV He must be very ugly ´cause they didn´t show his face He must be very dreadful ´cause he sounds like a walrus Sounds of freedom - slaps in a loyalist´s grimace
Big Ian thinks he is an Englishman John Bulls bravest hooligan Ulster´s presbyterians Northern Ireland KuKlux Klan
Another year of pain, another year of sorrow Another year of crime, the same old foreign law Another disliked view in a well-known rifle-barrel Another talk of blarney, another year of yaw
