Lyrics

Can you remember the rain Can you remember the rain Can you remember the rain Can you remember the rain Ain't no sunshine in my hood I see And when I look at the sky it's tears in my eyes mixed with [Verse 1: Sevin] Yeah Between the genocide in Africa and what I'm feelin' here I ain't gotta be a pastor just to see that hell is real It's my fate losing faith and barely even holding on Feel like I got my own Hurricane Katrina going on I'm taking losses My twin babies died in a car crash The very same night that my little homie Mark passed Wish I could say this type of tragedy is rare But for me it's become normal to see caskets leave in pairs Feelin's aside for the kids Guess I'm just glad Not that they died But at least they ain't alive when it's this bad Cuz I ain't got a job or a big pad And if I get locked up tryin' to get it They they cry cuz they miss Dad The world's at war We losing more soldiers Millions of happy homes are doomed for foreclosure We broke I don't know how you cope if you are sober The rain's making my cup of pain just pour over [Chorus: Sevin & West Kavi] Ain't no sunshine in my hood I see The Rain And when I look at the sky it's tears in my eyes mixed with The Rain Ain't no sunshine in my hood I see The Rain And when I look at the sky it's tears in my eyes mixed with The Rain [Verse 2: West Kavi] I remember back in the 90's I was raised on the rise of Seeing young people looting and some losing they lives Wondering when people gon' stand up Or start openin' they eyes Just to see a mother cry It brings tears to my eyes Huh You can't imagine what I'm feeling inside Overprotected with my feelings so my feelings is tired I ain't got' lie if I fit in I cry That's why I always think positive push the evil aside When I was lost without my God I was losing my mind My heart full of evil pushing the line I was scared when I was facing the time That's why I found ways to speak to my God I got tired of the streets so I just got me a job I only deal with my fam and keep my focus with God But it's hard trying to reach for the top, for the top I only deal with my fam and keep my focus with God But it's hard trying to reach for the top, for the top [Chorus: Sevin & West Kavi] Ain't no sunshine in my hood I see The Rain And when I look at the sky it's tears in my eyes mixed with The Rain Ain't no sunshine in my hood I see The Rain And when I look at the sky it's tears in my eyes mixed with The Rain [Verse 3: Sevin] Yeah Yeah Lord I know I'm supposed to preach am I wrong? All I think about is murder Word further than the reach of my chrome I'm trying to be at peace and keep seeking your throne But the street beef keeps beep beeping my phone Does it get better than the evil I've known? Cuz I know the devil will never leave me alone Listen sometimes being a Christian is so hard for me to deal with And maybe I'm tripping Lord So just pardon me a little bit My little brother just told me he's going back to the pen I know what consoles me I'm going back to the gin My prayers echo off my soul And my future is indefinite I'm stressin' off of dough Heard You got blessings Could you spare a bit for Sevin? I won't bury 'em I'll share them with my brethren I'm a felon and they tellin' me I'll never get to bellin' with the Reverend But it's evident I'm down to go through hell To get to heaven Let it rain [Chorus: Sevin & West Kavi] Ain't no sunshine in my hood I see The Rain And when I look at the sky it's tears in my eyes mixed with The Rain Ain't no sunshine in my hood I see The Rain And when I look at the sky it's tears in my eyes mixed with The Rain
