Jim Jones - Rain lyrics

[Chorus] We to close can't stop praying now Though there seems there's no one to this pain Every time I close my eyes I pray for rain I pray for rain to wash away the strain You couldn't understand how much the pain weight So in the hood we love the rainy days Cause subconsciously we know the suns coming We love the winter cause we know the summers coming Remember I got locked the same night my son was coming All I could do is pray that they don't take me away And lord knows I have the angel's on my side They search the car I had the hammer in my ride A miracle on Flatbush Avenue I still made it back To say push when she was having you A newer version a younger me I want him to go to school And raise him motherf**a free I swear some places I don't want him to be I swear some things I don't want him to see but new booty daddy Loves you truly and the nights you don't see me you know daddy's on his duty [Chorus] What's a poor mans pickle survive threw the poor pull a truck upfront And drive threw the store had to be a felon hated being proper Read the book of life and Satan was the author still I was the cooperative Rather be in Rykers the bugger had my baby momma running threw them Diapers all fo that sh**ing and all them pampers Grandma laid up with all of that cancer lid paint flaking constantly chipping Mama with that dark rum constantly sipping I vow to my name a bad transmission for getting in the game that's a bad transition One flick one night I'm ally ally out sin free for getting you a place with a g A couple heavy shots ima newer man ready go and get paper the hustler With the confetti [Chorus] I can truly understand how life can drain all the pa**ion from a man With just one chance it can change his circumstance And get the money baby lets get the money baby [Chorus]
