The Rain

I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
I'd love to see you in the rain
I'd love to see you in the rain
And it's pouring now
Somebody took your sunshine with no warning now
So you put your walls up, they keep falling now
Tell me can you hear the Grim Reaper calling out
So tell me what would you do
When you hearing on the news a hurricane coming through
A president he don't put in no order
Had to wait in the water when you're tryna save your daughter
I know it's on the TV screen
And I know that to you it my seem
Like another show that you could go change the channel
But really though could you go and get a handle of reality
'Cause this could be your book to you
Don't care about the people who don't look like you
And I know it's hard to understand our pain
It's insane, little has changed
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
See you handle success but what about the rest
What if you lost your last all of excess
Would you still give praise does it say God bless
Maybe rough times will lead you in a APS
You know what they say that a smoker never quits
When he loses all his senses right back to cigarettes
Blinded by the lights like it was fate this thinking
You could beat the house because that's just another myth
So you won a couple hands and you on top of the world
But lady look as such, a promiscuous girl
But when you separate like Jennifer and Brad
Would you still give thanks for everything you had
Or would you turn in again cause instead I made you messy
That's what's separate the dropouts from the grands
And that's what separates the superstars from the fans
Clear skies from the storms, [?]
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
It's kinda funny how when you got money
You so hard and crum
Bud would you be so scrupulous if you ain't had a dime
Bet your stands would be different if you feel on hard times
Living in the ghetto [?] out of our times
Bet you scared when you give as you're peeking through the blinds
You probably get your hustle on get up on your grime
You probably try to get out the hood by any means
Even if it means selling dope to [?]
Without a hope or a dream, now you roped in a scheme
Where you close to the edge, do you know what that means?
People only scream 'bout how you need to change
And, oh he ain't living right and they don't know your name
And it gets so cold and makes you holler
So you sell your soul for a dollar
But the truth be told, you got no problem
And say I got no one to blame
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
I'd love to see you in the rain
When the cards are not falling your way
And your skies are so gray
And all that you have is your pain
