Tha Rain

Can you remember the rain
Can you remember the rain
Can you remember the rain
Can you remember the rain

Ain’t no sunshine in my hood I see
And when I look at the sky it’s tears in my eyes mixed with

[Verse 1: Sevin]
Yeah
Between the genocide in Africa and what I’m feelin’ here
I ain’t gotta be a pastor just to see that hell is real
It’s my fate losing faith and barely even holding on
Feel like I got my own Hurricane Katrina going on
I’m taking losses
My twin babies died in a car crash
The very same night that my little homie Mark passed
Wish I could say this type of tragedy is rare
But for me it’s become normal to see caskets leave in pairs
Feelin’s aside for the kids
Guess I’m just glad
Not that they died
But at least they ain’t alive when it’s this bad
Cuz I ain’t got a job or a big pad
And if I get locked up tryin’ to get it
They they cry cuz they miss Dad
The world’s at war
We losing more soldiers
Millions of happy homes are doomed for foreclosure
We broke
I don’t know how you cope if you are sober
The rain’s making my cup of pain just pour over

[Chorus: Sevin & West Kavi]
Ain’t no sunshine in my hood I see
The Rain
And when I look at the sky it’s tears in my eyes mixed with
The Rain
Ain’t no sunshine in my hood I see
The Rain
And when I look at the sky it’s tears in my eyes mixed with
The Rain

[Verse 2: West Kavi]
I remember back in the 90’s
I was raised on the rise of
Seeing young people looting and some losing they lives
Wondering when people gon’ stand up
Or start openin’ they eyes
Just to see a mother cry
It brings tears to my eyes
Huh
You can’t imagine what I’m feeling inside
Overprotected with my feelings so my feelings is tired
I ain’t got’ lie if I fit in I cry
That’s why I always think positive push the evil aside
When I was lost without my God
I was losing my mind
My heart full of evil pushing the line
I was scared when I was facing the time
That’s why I found ways to speak to my God
I got tired of the streets so I just got me a job
I only deal with my fam and keep my focus with God
But it’s hard trying to reach for the top, for the top
I only deal with my fam and keep my focus with God
But it’s hard trying to reach for the top, for the top

[Chorus: Sevin & West Kavi]
Ain’t no sunshine in my hood I see
The Rain
And when I look at the sky it’s tears in my eyes mixed with
The Rain
Ain’t no sunshine in my hood I see
The Rain
And when I look at the sky it’s tears in my eyes mixed with
The Rain

[Verse 3: Sevin]
Yeah
Yeah
Lord I know I’m supposed to preach am I wrong?
All I think about is murder
Word further than the reach of my chrome
I’m trying to be at peace and keep seeking your throne
But the street beef keeps beep beeping my phone
Does it get better than the evil I’ve known?
Cuz I know the devil will never leave me alone
Listen sometimes being a Christian is so hard for me to deal with
And maybe I’m tripping Lord
So just pardon me a little bit
My little brother just told me he’s going back to the pen
I know what consoles me I’m going back to the gin
My prayers echo off my soul
And my future is indefinite I’m stressin’ off of dough
Heard You got blessings
Could you spare a bit for Sevin?
I won’t bury ‘em I’ll share them with my brethren
I’m a felon and they tellin’ me
I’ll never get to bellin’ with the Reverend
But it’s evident I’m down to go through hell
To get to heaven
Let it rain

[Chorus: Sevin & West Kavi]
Ain’t no sunshine in my hood I see
The Rain
And when I look at the sky it’s tears in my eyes mixed with
The Rain
Ain’t no sunshine in my hood I see
The Rain
And when I look at the sky it’s tears in my eyes mixed with
The Rain
