Rain

[Click here to see what Jadakiss has to say about the making of “Rain”]

[Verse 1: Jadakiss]

HA-HAAAEEH!

Thunderstorm in the forecast

More time to meditate on ya war path

To the face with a whole blunt

All my chains and a watch on, that's a cold front

Yeah, they wishing I come around more

But when I do they don't notice the heavy downpour

Haters praying on my death, on my downfall

They got me looking for my shadow like the ground hog

It's get frightening, all you see is the lightning

Niggas ungrateful, bitches is just trifling

Can't be real with yourself, you're not right then

Different from everybody else, we're not like them

Need the respect gotta have the power

If I squeeze this TEC, that's a scattered shower

Guaranteed that it's gonna touch you

Hoes wanna fuck, niggas wanna hustle

No offense but y'all better D up

Whenever it rains is the best time to re-up

Niggas you wanna kill, family members is ill

Shit that you think about as each drop hits the seal

Crib paid for, the kids get a couple mill'

You smoke a lil' weed, you might pop a couple pills

Sharp as a Ginsu, everybody's against you

Things that you get yourself into is all mental

It's a lot of pain in my tears

Dark thoughts turn into criminal ideas

Shit like, where do you see yourself in five years?

I've always been a superior to my peers

Yeah, and my reign ain't stop yet

Even though it was mostly the lames that got wet

I'm all about a profit, I pull it out and pop it

And no umbrella or raincoat can't stop it, rain...

[Chorus: Styles P & Jadakiss]

They say life's a bitch, nigga

Real niggas love bitches though

Misery loves company

Yeah, well fuck it nigga I'm miserable

They say when it rains it pours (rain)

They say when it rains it pours (rain, rain, rain...)

[Verse 2: Nas]

I'm the president of this veteran sport

Make it feel chill like you need your Pelle back on

I'm cosmic, I'm full storm from the projects

Yeah, it's in the air, you ain't gotta tell 'em who Nas is

Skies is red, winds is 7 miles per hour, light showers

Visibility clearly, no one real as me, cowards

Never speak to cops, only speak to attorneys

Had to leave the block, took the whole hood on my journey

Hear these niggas talking, who they talking to?

I ascended from Heaven, I can walk on the Moon

Everybody's a killer, guess everybody's a goon

Not every don is a don 'til a don walk in the room

Right? State of emergency

Autumn leaves, Mother Nature, feel the urgency

The reign, I rain hot spring

Nueva York, they throw salt

Kama sutra in female thoughts, I'm stalked

So I pray like it's Jumu'ah, it rains...

[Chorus: Styles P & Jadakiss]

They say life's a bitch, nigga

Real niggas love bitches though

Misery loves company

Yeah, well fuck it nigga I'm miserable

They say when it rains it pours (rain)

They say when it rains it pours (rain, rain, rain...)

[Verse 3: Jadakiss]

Yo, when you on top of the world, the game is yours

And your dope is uncut, your 'caine is pure

And the problems start coming, it rains, it pours

And your money is not long enough to change the laws

'Cause you figured everything'll be done in one night

All you want is the shine, but the Sun is on strike (damn)

The cash comes in then the love stops (over)

Ice in the bezel, that's a flood watch

Heavy precipitation (uh)

There's nothing you can do that could better the situation

They say it ain't safe to drive in (nah)

It's on you how you go about surviving

In the rain, nigga

[Chorus: Styles P & Jadakiss]

They say life's a bitch, nigga

Real niggas love bitches though

Misery loves company

Yeah, well fuck it nigga I'm miserable

They say when it rains it pours (rain)

They say when it rains it pours (rain, rain, rain...)

(Rain, rain, rain, rain...)
