Walking In The Rain
Dear God, watch over me
Watch over mommy
Watch over daddy
Watch over all God's children
Amen
Walking in the rain
Walking in the rain
Walking in the err
Look here, I grew up with the thangs, hard livin' (uh-huh)
Found out the source of the pain God given (ooh)
He left me with no shelter in the rain
But I learned to stay dry, so it wasn't in vain
Every time you go through something, there something to gain
And you only truly suffer if you remain the same (come on)
Let the dirt you go through change you (what?)
Don't forget even Satan was an angel
You can't go through life walking blind
Gotta not only speak your heart but talk your mind (uh)
One thing led to another (yeah)
How I get down, as I will pay for my brother? (What?)
Man, I'm a different nigga
I'ma say it once, "Stop all that rifin' nigga" (woo)
For the sake of all the people that live you
I'm a goon, I'll have your family in the park letting go of balloons (we miss you)
I don't always get my share of roses
For me, sunny days are always come and going
I know we all got our share of trials and tribulations, yeah
But I done rode for some of y'all when you ain't even have a ride yourself
So tell me, why I'm
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the, err (walk)
We in the new dark ages
We reject who we really are, adaptation
Accept no cheap imitations, I am the street meets civilization
Police precinct 114 chased him
Who should be held accountable for the hell I encountered just exploring the town I knew?
You pray a predator choose, I fared better than many
Y'all feared some career gun-slinging youngsters
Coulda went to war, probably wouldn't have overcome it
I coulda been still bitter now
'Cause there's no middle ground
Locked-up juveniles make grown men die
Made me want to get myself knocked in jail just to get you inside
Can't even wait 'til you get out to air you out
As a teen, it's just a few things I cared about
Facts, I made it
Impact behavior, like the eternal flame at Martin Luthers grave, yeah
Gotta keep burning, unabated
Turn a man into a millionaire, just to tell you how good that my day went
My life should be an Ava DuVernay flick
Denzel plays a younger Nas with some CGI
If you rock with your day ones, bless
If you do not, don't let it stress
There's friends I only see once a year
Nothing change, love is there
Some brothers you outgrow, leave them there, yeah (Leave them there, leave them there)
Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the, err
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the rain
Walking in the rain
Walking in the rain
Walking in the rain
