On some nights like this, I feel that the rain is falling down, down, down
On some nights like this, I feel that the rain is falling down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Lot of potholes in the road, gotta brace for the bumps
Lord knows I stayed on course, I've been patient for months
Better yet, years, it came with blood, sweat, and tears
While y'all was on the elevator, I was climbing up the stairs
They was eating at the table, wouldn't offer me a chair
Had a whole basket of fruit, and didn't offer me a pear
But I ain't whining about it. Was in a hole, but I climbed up out it
I see the envy in y'all eyes, it ain't no doubt about it
They wanted to see me drown like DiCaprio
But I stayed ten toes down, and blew right past them hoes
Destined to be great, never focused on the fame
You idiots would rather hate, instead of soaking up some game
Typical nigga shit, I'm on a mission to ball underdog
I play it raw, grinding hard, I want it all
They prey on your downfall, but I can hear a whispering
Just keep on doing what you doing, that's the realest shit
On some nights like this, I feel
That the rain is falling down, down, down
On some nights like this, I feel
Rain is falling down, down, down
Yeah, yeah
Formulate a plan to get them dividends
The judge giving niggas lengthy sentences
Do your time, come home and make a difference then
Apply pressure, monopolize open businesses
Never quit, stay committed, I wanna see you win
Strangers never hated, it be your closest friends
Ask them for some help, they wouldn't lend a hand
Listen close, them tables turn, I hope you comprehend
I'm move in silence like I'm deaf, doing sign language
They gave that boy so much time, that his mom fainted
Groomed to be a gangster, but there's rules to it
I'm a black rose in concrete, that grew through it
I'm in an old school Buick, cruising through Houston
Translucent head on my hammer, bumping my new music
Dark clouds in the sky, rain falling down
Perfect timing for a storm, I hope you love the sound of rain
On some nights like this, I feel
That the rain is falling down, down, down
On some nights like this, I feel
Rain is falling down, down, down
