(feat. Will Smith) [Chorus: Jill Scott] The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it coming over me [Will Smith] The rain gon' come through the window, pain will come Black, white, rich, poor, it's the same old drum Rainy days like the war, use wisdom as a weapon Hold your head up, dry your clothes and keep steppin' Let the children feel the rain, 'cause if they feel the rain >From the wetness, they stand to gain I came into the game, it felt like the middle of June Music was warm, artists, like flowers, they bloom Then boom, I shook the room, many felt the thunder My time to shine, did it like summer I wondered if the sun would shine forever Pops said "rain gon' come", to him I said "never" Chedder in the genes, face on screens Got a benz wit' the sheen, but what did it all mean I earned money and burned money, credit cards smokin' Platinumn, grammys, famous, but still broke and Not having cash put me in check Yo, the road to the riches is slippery when wet Amongst the fall is where you truly find yourself Ever since then, the rain I never felt Deal wit' it [Chorus] [Will Smith] At age seventeen, the worst pain, a hurrcaine Her first name still conjuers the rain Vowed to never let nobody ever get me wet Lest we forget, love is a four season concept Many say the rain they can't stand Never let the weather determine the man God has a plan, from it I never ran Follow my heart through the storm, my umbrella in hand I'm Noah, life's my arc Forty days and forty nights, still can't take my heart Seen the fallen man To **** and liquor brands The devil'll dance to make it rain Bringing the pain Walk through the puddles of struggle on flooded streets Soakin' wet, but mastered the art of peace Through grey skies, I grew wise, on bended knees I knelt Since then, the rain I never felt What's wit' it [Chorus] [Will Smith] Sometimes I sit in my room, stuff on my mind Stress, can't rest, so I open the blinds See kids in the streets, runnin' around It wasn't touchin' 'em, but the rain was comin' down I wondered how, with my mouth wide Reminisce of the key, said I wanna go outside In the rain, to see if the same would happen to me 'Bout that time, God started rappin' to me He said "pain is the mother of change, the rain must flow So the seeds of joy might grow Don't be afraid, find shelter in me The road to greatness, through the valley of adversity" I felt the light as He proceeded to drop the gem These little children, the world we must receive like them I just smiled, and thanked Him for the cards He delt And since then, the rain I never felt What's wit' it [Chorus]
