Walking in the Rain

[Intro: Exodus Simmons] Dear God, watch over me Watch over mommy, watch over daddy Watch over all God's children, amen [Chorus: DMX] Huh, walkin' in the rain Huh, walkin' in the rain Huh, walkin' in the, rrr [Verse 1: DMX] Look here, I grew up with the thing, hard living Found out the source of the pain God givin' 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 somethin', there's somethin' to gain And you only truly suffer if you remain the same (Come on) Let the dirt you go through change you Don't forget, evеn Satan was an angel You can't go through life walkin' blind Gotta not only speak your hеart but talk your mind One thing lead to another How I get down is I will pray for my brother Man, I'm a different nigga I'ma say it once, stop all that riffin' nigga For the sake of all the people that love you, I'm a goon Leave your family in the park, lettin' go of balloons [Bridge: dEnAuN] I don't always get my share of roses For me, sunny days are always come and goin' I know we all gotta share our 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 walkin', walkin', walkin' [Chorus: dEnAuN & DMX] Huh, walkin' in the rain Walkin', walkin', walkin' Huh, walkin' in the rain Walkin', walkin', walkin' Huh, walkin' in the rain Walkin', walkin', walkin' Huh, walkin' in the, rrr (Walkin') [Verse 2: Nas] We in the new dark ages We reject who we really are, adaptation Accept no cheap imitations I am "the streets meet civilization" Police precinct 114 chased him, who should be held accountable For the hell I encountered just explorin' the town I knew? You pray a predator choose, I fared better than many Y'all fear some career gun-slangin' 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 doubt Made me wanna 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 In Martin Luther's grave, yeah, gotta keep burnin', unabated Turn a man to 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's changed, love is there Some brothers you outgrow, you leave 'em there, yeah [Chorus: dEnAun & DMX] Huh, walkin' in the rain Walkin', walkin', walkin' Huh, walkin' in the rain Walkin', walkin', walkin' Huh, walkin' in the, rrr Walkin', walkin', walkin' [Outro: DMX & Exodus Simmons] Walkin' in the rain Walkin' in the rain Walkin' in the rain Walkin' in the rain
