About This Track

Stormzy frames 'Rainfall' as a defiant assertion of his resilience and status, the track built around a central metaphor of retribution and vindication. Over an atmospheric production that samples Mary Mary's 'Shackles (Praise You)', he moves between boasts and spiritual reflection, alternating between dismissals of rivals and acknowledgements of divine blessing. The soulful vocals of Tiana Major9 provide counterweight to his own delivery, the contrast between her ethereal presence and his commanding verses shaping the song's emotional arc. The lyrics toggle between material confidence and something more introspective. Stormzy references his commercial success and cultural standing, but frames these achievements as inseparable from faith and grace rather than mere triumph. When he lets the rain fall on his enemies, the image carries both literal vindication and spiritual cleansing, the song's title serving as both threat and prayer.

"Rainfall" is a track by Stormzy, from the album Heavy Is The Head, released 13th December 2019. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Stormzy.

Lyrics

Rainfall

[Intro: Stormzy]

Aw

Embody it, yeah

[Verse 1: Stormzy]

Let your mind speak

I never put no colours on my timepiece

I told you niggas cut me out the grime beef

And now you got me fuckin' up some grime neeks

So 'low runnin' up your gums

Man'll double back and then I'll go and double up my funds

And when you finish suckin' on your mums

I'll do another quarter mil' and get another number one, it's like

I'm gettin' bored of you boys

Flex on 'em, lookin' like the Audemar boys

Big Mike, I was makin' all of the noise

In a big fur jacket, that's the thoughts of your boy

They rate me, that's so blatant

Went and saw the future, I'm That's So Raven

Whenever they say my name, I take a payment

Even when I make it rain, I make a statement

[Chorus: Stormzy]

Let the rain fall on my enemies

Fall on my enemies

Let the rain fall on my enemies

All of my enemies

Yeah, let the rain fall on my enemies

On all of my enemies

Lord, let the rain fall on my enemies

Let it fall on my enemies, yo

[Verse 2: Stormzy]

Goose in the winter keep my back warm

Told my little brudda keep my stack warm

Kill me with some rap corn

I'm a bigger hitter on a bigger platform

Now we do the Jigga walk

Reminiscin' 'bout the spinners that my hitta brought (So?)

So 'low me with that Twitter talk (Huh?)

I can't even hear you through these BRIT Awards (Ayy, ayy)

I put my shades on

Hoodie up and send a prayer up to Trayvon

They tryna figure how a nigga put his name on

And how a nigga did it with no chains on

I give you the keys to no stress

First you give God the praise, then see Him work

I can't ever be on my knees, I'm too blessed

'Cause any time I make it rain, all reimbursed

[Chorus: Stormzy]

Then I let the rain fall on my enemies

Fall on my enemies

Let the rain fall on my enemies

All of my enemies

Yeah, let the rain fall on my enemies

On all of my enemies

Lord, let the rain fall on my enemies

Let it fall on my enemies, yo

Fall on my enemies

Fall on my enemies

Let the rain fall on my enemies

All of my enemies

Yeah, let the rain fall on my enemies

On all of my enemies

Lord, let the rain fall on my enemies

Let it fall on my enemies, yo

[Bridge: Tiana Major9]

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (So I can dance)

I just wanna praise ya (Oh)

I just wanna praise ya (Praise you, oh)

You broke the chains, now I can lift my hands (I can lift my hands)

And I'm gonna praise ya (Praise ya)

I'm gonna praise ya (I'm gonna praise ya)

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance (Shackles off, I can dance, I can dance)

I just wanna praise ya

I just wanna praise ya (Yeah, yeah)

You broke the chains, now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise ya (I'm gonna praise ya)

I'm gonna praise ya (I'm gonna praise ya)

[Chorus: Stormzy & Tiana Major9]

Fall on my enemies (Oh)

Fall on my enemies

Let the rain fall on my enemies (Oh)

All of my enemies (Oh)

Yeah, let the rain fall on my enemies (Fall on my enemies)

On all of my enemies (Fall down)

Lord, let the rain fall on my enemies

Let it fall on my enemies
