RAIN

What's good homie?, Yeah man we see you shining I mean we don't see you around the hood but we see you shining You all over the TV and shit yeah Oh Mom? Nah, nah she's doing bad son, The whole hood is doing bad Yeah you need to come around a little more fam, Listen... [VERSE 1] Dear Mr. rapper that's wealthy I hear you say you bank account is rather healthy Well I'm in a hard place, you have to help me More like you've gotta help us You know that we came up in the hood, the gutter and the slums Now you doing good, But we still stuck up in these slums What I'm saying is since you've come up on some funds You ain't done as much as spare us a couple crumbs Taking care of your baby mother and you son But what about the other single mothers and their sons Last week we had a toddler who would starve To death and you put another car in your garage Mom left him home alone, she was all out of dope Started shooting, cause she's all out of hope You should come around more and edify us So we don't lose hope and our head is higher [HOOK] Now how you make it rain in the club? Throwing up them ones and them dimes and them dubs Showing them honeys love When everyday it Rain in the hood And they pray for just one time, we can see the sunshine And how you ride around on Dubs? Through them same streets that we're all trying to leave behind What's on your mind? Go ahead and make money, make make money money But please don't never let the money make you, stay true [VERSE 2] It's all falling apart in the hood we rep Meanwhile you demanding the hood respect But if ever you should detect, the hood ain't showing love Then you wanna show the hood neglect It's crazy how somebody from the hood sees checks And don't give back to the hood He just gives his back to the hood You know that isn't good More attention is what we ought to pay All the sports these kids can't afford to play How about sponsoring a league so they all can play Before you flash rented jewels, in your interviews Tell them how you made the projects look presentable Reach out so we aspire to be more Rather than a hitman for hire or D boy Rebuild the community, why do we destroy? We need to take pride in our streets more [HOOK] Now how you make it rain in the club? Throwing up them ones and them dimes and them dubs Showing them honeys love When everyday it Rain in the hood And they pray for just one time, we can see the sunshine And how you ride around on Dubs? Through them same streets that we're all trying to leave behind What's on your mind? Go ahead and make money, make make money money But please don't never let the money make you, stay true What up fam, welcome home my nigga? What's good baby boy what's poppin? Come up off that shit, you ain't from around here no more [VERSE 3] That there is a Consequence Of a rapper Getting Out His Dreams, having no Common Sense These are your people, you say you rep for them From the same place you know longer step foot in All the ra ra you spit, it's a great percentage The kids that try to emulate your image So rather then feed then what can get then to prison Kick in some bread for a better school system Before you keep it gutter man, be a brother and In addition to yours, feed another fam Think of how you can heal the aches and pains And bring em sunshine before you make it rain Homie reconsider that, and give it to a righteous cause Fuck it just write it off and get it back [HOOK] Now how you make it rain in the club? Throwing up them ones and them dimes and them dubs Showing them honeys love When everyday it Rain in the hood And they pray for just one time, we can see the sunshine And how you ride around on Dubs? Through them same streets that we're all trying to leave behind What's on your mind? Go ahead and make money, make make money money But please don't never let the money make you, stay true
