Intro:
Keeys on the keys
You know we all came out of the rain
And though the past doesn't define who we are, it's definitely a part of who we are
And it's important to remember where we came from
We gotta live to see the sunshine and rainbows on the other side
Me personally, I could never forget the rain
Hook:
How could I forget about the rain
It fertilized the dirt from which I came
(And somehow I'm still thankful despite all the damage)
Through all the pain, scars still remain
So much has changed since I came in from the rain
Verse One:
Jumping off the porch, it wasn't a last resort
Age 12, maybe before the first time I handled a torch
Started selling loosey ports
One for 30 cents, get two for a quarter more
Stealing juices out the store, same place my homies bled poor
While you hustle for Audemars, I'm thinking about tomorrow
These angels protect my aura, explain how I deflect horror
So dove deeper in the game
The re-up now is cane, cook it up before I slang
Knew a teacher and a doctor, said they smoke it for the pain
I found it quite ironic, I blew trees for the same thing
On the block, we superstitious
Just to chill, come with conditions
Don't trust those who act suspicious, so it's best to handle business
These streets dirty, you hygienic, repent, beg God for forgiveness
Before 18, life is finished
Ask them kids, they burned in ditches
Seen a snake, shed skin for digits
So-called gangsters started snitching
I wish someone had told me, but I probably wouldn't listen
Hook:
How could I forget about the rain
It fertilized the dirt from which I came
(I lost my way, getting washed away in the gutters)
Through all the pain, scars still remain
So much has changed since I came in from the rain
Verse Two:
Didn't have parents in mind, earned what should've been inside
Too young to try and learn this life, GTA running red lights
Smile, when my turn to fight, it's wild how we survived
Turned the mud to paradise and burnt the love of parasites
Too hungry to be humble, toasted bread as cookies crumble
Acrobatic with the bundles, but ooh, the bags that I fumbled
They crossed and left me like poncho
I don't care about your beaches, dog, I'm running through the jungle
A successor of the struggle
Trust issues cause you misused the times I thought I trusted you
I showed and proved my love was true
It's crazy, I looked up to you
Saw things a couple bucks would do, watch you switch up on the crew
Don't know why they was fond of you when we was all just pawns to you
Too broke to pay attention, still grateful for all the lessons
They hate me cause my ascension exposing all those pretending
Success will ruin my friendships
It's cool, don't want to be friends with
Dimwits invading my segment
You can hate me from a distance
Hook: x2
How could I forget about the rain
It fertilized the dirt from which I came
(I know a lot of people who ain't make it out that same storm)
Through all the pain, scars still remain
So much has changed since I came in from the rain
How could I forget about the rain
It fertilized the dirt from which I came
(But somehow I'm still standing here shining)
Through all the pain, scars still remain
So much has changed since I came in from the rain
Verse Three:
From dark days and cold nights
My heart saved my soul, right
The part I played in my old life
Why I parted ways with that low life
Grim reaper felt like a friend of mine
My heart of diamonds, see stars aligning
Spirits guiding a marvelous lion
To harvest a mind that'll hear it's calling
Strength is pain that's hurting me
But act like it don't burden me
My past no longer cursing me
Them demons, I'm still purging these
Purpose to be purposefully
Live my life with urgency
But please don't get it twisted
I'll snap back to the worst of me
Bad at games, I had to change
The hatred in my brain
Won't allow life to be sane
So long as ice inside my veins
So I stood up then overcame
They all love when you reign
But won't none of them go through rain
That's why I love the rain
Trust me, I'm still thankful
When them weights was on my ankles
Taught me play from different angles
Aye, shout out to my angels
Never gave up, tho it's shameful
Know y'all tired of the same old
Don't ever forget, life's a gift
Sit back, reminisce the rain and mist
