Wise (In The Rain)

[Intro: Ghostface Killah]

Yeah... yeah, man...

I love you, son – miss you so much, man

Peace... peace, god

One...

Mm-m-mmm... life, man...

What's going on, man?

What's going on today?

One second you're here, next time you're not...

It just hurts, man

I don't understand sometimes

[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]

I think it happened on a Saturday, I heard the phone ring

Vrring, vrring, vrring, vrring, – "Who this? 'Vine?"

"Yo! Wise got killed last night by the tracks

It was those same Ohioan niggas, teamed up, sent 'em back"

We shoulda drilled a long time ago

We went disacordant, now we owe the Devil–slid through without an intro

"Yo, 'Vine, it can't be! Wise guest-starring me!

'Can It Be' – we both got hit, god's legendary!"

He a General, he survived Adolf

Hard to even picture god ate'n by gray dogs

He stated his word and he solemnly sweared to tell the truth

That his bond was like pure added Pureal

Wise God Allah, a warrior, XY chromosome

Sat heavy on the throne, touched something for ya

Ya'll Steubenville niggas fucked up!

Because bitches is talking, they live at 'em, twisting your alley back

You killed my man

You killed my man and you sent him back

After this day, watch ya hats –

Slugs flying everywhere

You smell havoc in the air

You could never get the god's share, emphatically

Now Cipher –

You've been thriving off the same battery he had

Back in '91 that got you hyper

God been beautiful, God been great

God fed you, you'd die if he survived that take

You killed your king, Rakeem Allah gave him his light

He was your offspring, camouflage gold, day wood greens

One righteous man, fought for his right, God's pupil

Yo, that's my fam, he snatched me out of Big Head van

We taught you how to get gates

From sayin', "Peace, God" – Islamic translates

Allah's tongue, spit the language art

Alex Haley thoughts, identical twin, my A-alike

Gas mate, the head grows, the day's closed, how'd you know?!

[Interlude: Ghostface Killah]

Yeah... thin fast... it's trash

Uh-huh... yeah...

Stoned to death

Thou shall be stoned to death (Muthafucka)

Cast out the heavens (Thou shall not kill)

Eye for an eye (Die slow)

Thou shall not kill (You fool)

It tells you (You betrayed God)

Eye for an eye

[Bridge: The Dramatics & (Ghostface Killah)]

Once the sun comes out (Then it's all good)

And the rain is gone (The beast is gone, beast is gone)

I know I'm gonna see–a better day (That's right)

Right now, I think I'm crying

Because of you I'm cryinh

Don't want you to see me cry

I'm crying (Love you, Wise–love you, Wise–love you, Wise!)

[Chorus: The Dramatics & (Ghostface Killah)]

I wanna go outside–in the rain...

It may sound crazy, but–it may sound crazy, but

(But I love you, Wise)

But I wanna go outside–in the rain

I wanna go outside–I wanna go outside (Love you, Wise)

I wanna go outside–in the rain...

It may sound crazy, I said, it may sound crazy, but I–

Wanna go outside–in the rain (Yeah...)

I wanna go outside–I wanna go outside (Take it back)

I wanna go outside–in the rain...

It may sound crazy, I said, it may sound crazy, but I–

Ohh... can't you see my crying? No... ohh!
