Fashawn In The Rain
In the rain,
I wanna go outside in the rain!
It may sound crazy,
But I wanna go outside (go outside) in the rain!
Sometimes the answer is always plain as day,
And what you think is meant to be, can simply fade away!
One blink,
I'm having all these thoughts 'till I can't think,
My people on the block, doing same thing
They did when they was eighteen.
Swiping on the coke that made their brain shrink
Throw away their dreams with a chick that's like...
You know, ass like a Mustang, she hella fast,
Not the type of bitch you should be trusting, straight from the ass,
Niggas be running in paths,
Kicking in your door for the cash,
A nigga die, a nigga laugh, another day pass.
Niggas only f..ck with Fresno thinking they gon' get their pass
You come to the valley that's your ass,
I know some insane niggas that be following blindly
I ain't James Brown and you don't wanna try me.
Even know people in high places think of me highly,
I wonder if my ex-girls still think about me (about me).
[Chorus:]
I wanna go outside
I wanna go outside
I wanna go outside
In the rain!
I wanna go outside
I wanna go outside
It may sound crazy,
But I wanna go outside (go outside) in the rain!
I wanna go outside
I wanna go outside
I wanna go outside!
(Cause) It ain't a damn thing pretty where we're living at,
Lot of niggas broke; lot of bitches ain't feeling that,
Lot of niggas gave up, some niggas gave in,
Couple went schizo saying the walls caved in,
Enough to pull a.45 out the dresser,
One hand clutching, one hand writing the letter,
Telling your mother that you're her son for forever.
But I can't let it get me down,
Even though I happen to witness, see nothing but frowns,
Everybody holding up signs,
Is daytime but the sun don't shine!
Man, my city is so gloomy, all these foggy mornings seem to subdue me,
And all these raining days, they tend to just soothe me
I know only the real hustlers out,
Like ain't no rain gon' put me in a trough.
[Chorus:]
I wanna go outside in the rain!
It may sound crazy,
But I wanna go outside (go outside) in the rain!
(Cause) Just the kinda niggas stuck on this planet, struggle and scrambling,
Hustling, gambling, juggling chances,
Momma said there'd be days like this,
Let the rain just wash away all my pain,
Let me live!
Lord, why the F flooded with crime?
Straight bullets flying, niggas dying, two at a time,
Got my head to the ground, no longer pray to the sky,
Still waiting on the answer to the question 'why? '
Guess you get it when you die,
Never understand your life, till you press rewind,
Smoking cess cause success got me stressed at times,
Ain't been happy for a while,
Gotta practice how to smile for a rainy day, stack on few...
Just to stay on float,
That's the way it go!
Hard times can take a man and break his soul,
Think I might hit the avenue and take a stroll,
Spend the day alone,
Staring out my window, singing, singing, singing, singing:
[Chorus:]
I wanna go outside in the rain!
It may sound crazy,
But I wanna go outside (go outside) in the rain!
