Rain Water lyrics

Artist  : Brother Ali 
Song : Rain Water



 Send "Rain Water" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
"A question was raised to me the other day

Why I seem to always have joy

Well I’d like to take time to set the record
straight"



"all the joy ive ever known has disappeared"

in the motherfuckin thin air

like its never even been there

my joy done left me ya'll



shit, ill never hang my head though



Gods rain water flows threw the same gutter that
we walk today

Gotta stay brave brother, keep your lip stiff,
keep your fist clenched

At times you gotta kick your way threw this bitch




And I cant stop feeling guilty smiling

A wise man once told me that every cloud has a
silver lining

I wanted to believe him, but it’s a trick to
find ‘em

When the people around me continue dying

Granddad was in the twilight of his life

When he closed his eyes tight and opened his
wrists wide

What make a 10th round fighter with a winning
score

Decide he need to throw a towel ’fore the
whistle blow

Maybe ill never know

But I inherited his poetic soul so symbolism’s
yet to show

Was life so obscene that deaths most serene

Or was an old author trying to write his own
closing scene

Nothing stings like, knowing that the woman that
gave me this life

Is being eaten from the inside, I thought we’d
never make shit right

I wish I’d viewed it once clear ‘fore you
were done here

that’s two in one year that I let leave here

Loving me without shedding one single tear

Either I’m one of the strongest people left

Or ya’ll should stone me for even trying to
steal breath



And Gods rain water flows threw the same gutter
that we walk today

Gotta stay brave brother, keep your lip stiff,
keep your fist clenched

At times you gotta kick your way threw this
bitch[x2]



They say shits bad for you, all by yourself
aint’cha?

Damn straight, I got a jail cell nature

Been boxed up but I never been settled in 

Him got tough started developing leather skin

I learned to make that face that tells
predators

Its better to reassessjust who you’re bout to
wrestle with

I’m on one like the first kick drum of the
beat

Clear my lungs, spit blood on the street

They telling me we got nothing to fear but fear
itself

But I fear I have no human fear left

Some day I’m gonna want to peel back these
calluses

And really feel life again, and that’s where my
challenge is

I been kicking and biting for so long

And when they throw me a rescue rope ill be too
weary to hold on and see the light

So I sing through the tears and the key of life
the way a wounded ego might



And Gods rain water flows threw the same gutter
that we walk today

Gotta stay brave brother, keep your lip stiff,
keep your fist clenched

At times you gotta kick your way threw this
bitch[x2]



My joy done left me ya’ll

She don’t show her face around these parts

every time she comes she gets chased off

So she stays distant



If it weren’t for me squinting, he wouldn’t
know the sun was out

I hate every word that come out of his fucking
mouth

Ladies treat him special, don’t know nothing
bout him

They saw what his wife see, they wouldn’t fuss
about him

He cant do shit right but rap and make babies

And babies need daddy at home consistent

But rap keep daddy on the road religious

So even in my true loves, my souls so
conflicted

My son came into this world innocent

He deserves everything that he needs to live in
it

And this home I made for him is broken

I’m hoping his love for me will never grow
thin

It hurts daddy to no end and no when

You’re crying at the hospital I’m out trying
to rock a show

I made a vow that we’d never be broke again

And I’d never be a burden on another friend

So when I sweat it on my farewell stage

And wrote my last hook in my last rhyme book

When I get the last nod of approval from my
family

This is the man that I have to be



And Gods rain water flows threw the same gutter
that we walk today

Gotta stay brave brother, keep your lip stiff,
keep your fist clenched

At times you gotta kick your way threw this
bitch[x4]



"Sometimes

I feel like I'm almost gone

Sometimes

I feel like I'm almost gone

You ever felt that way"
