The Rain

Lyrics

[Intro: Will Smith] Yeah, uh, uh, uh I can't feel the rain, what, what? Uh, we 'bout to do it like [Chorus: Jill Scott & Will Smith] The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it (Uh, can't feel the rain) Feel it comin' over me [Verse 1: Will Smith] The rain gon' come through the window, pain gon' 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" Cheddar in the genes, face on screens Got a Benz with a sheen, but what did it all mean? I earned money and burned money, credit cards smokin' Platinum, Grammys, famous, but still broken Not havin' cash put me in check, yo The road to the riches is slippery when wet Amongst the fog is where you truly find yourself Ever since then, the rain I never felt, deal with it [Chorus: Jill Scott & Will Smith] The little rain drops fallin' down on me (Uh) But I can't seem to feel it, feel it (Can't feel the rain) Feel it comin' over me (Uh-uh, can't feel the rain) The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it comin' over me (What, what, what?) [Verse 2: Will Smith] At age seventeen, the worst pain, a hurricane Her first name still kind as 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 ark Forty days and forty nights, still can't take my heart Seen the fallen man to dope and liquor brands The devil'll dance to make it rain, bringin' 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 knee I knelt Since then, the rain I never felt, what's with it? [Chorus: Jill Scott & Will Smith] The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it (Uh, can't feel the rain) Feel it comin' over me (Uh-uh, can't feel the rain) The little rain drops fallin' down on me (Woo) But I can't seem to feel it, feel it (Uh-uh, uh-uh) Feel it comin' over me [Verse 3: 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, I 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 a 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 dealt And since then, the rain I never felt, what's with it? [Chorus: Jill Scott, Jill Scott & Kids, Kids] The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it comin' over me The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it comin' over me (The rain) The little rain drops fallin' down on me (Fallin' down on me) But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it comin' over me The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it comin' over me The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it comin' over me The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it comin' over me The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it, feel it Feel it comin' over me The little rain drops fallin' down on me But I can't seem to feel it
