Rain Water
Brother Ali

A question was raised to me the other daynWhy I seem to always have joynWell I’d like to take time to set the record straightnnAll the joy I've ever known has disappearednIn the motherfuckin thin airnLike it's never even been therenMy joy done left me y'allnnShit, I'll never hang my head thoughnn[Chorus]nGod's rain water flows through the same gutter that we walk todaynGotta stay brave brother, keep your lip stiff, keep your fist clenchednAt times you gotta kick your way through this bitchnnAnd I cant stop feeling guilty smilingnA wise man once told me that every cloud has a silver liningnI wanted to believe him, but it’s a trick to find ‘emnWhen the people around me continue dyingnGranddad was in the twilight of his lifenWhen he closed his eyes tight and opened his wrists widenWhat make a 10th round fighter with a winning scorenDecide he need to throw a towel ’fore the whistle blownMaybe I'll never knownBut I inherited his poetic soul so the symbolism’s yet to shownWas life so obscene that death's more serenenOr was an old author trying to write his own closing scenenNothing stings like, knowing that the woman that gave me this lifenIs being eaten from the inside, I thought we’d never make shit rightnI wish I’d have viewed it once clear before you were done herenThat’s two in one year that I let leave herenLoving me without shedding one single tearnEither I’m one of the strongest people leftnOr y'all should stone me for even trying to steal breathnn[Chorus x2]nnThey say shit's bad for you, all by yourself aint’cha?nDamn straight, I got a jail cell naturenBeen boxed up but I never been settled innHim got tough started developin leather skinnI learned to make that face that tells predatorsnIts better to reassess just who you’re bout to wrestle withnI’m on one like the first kick drum of the beatnClear my lungs, spit blood on the streetnThey tellin me we got nothing to fear but fear itselfnBut I fear I have no human fear leftnSomeday I’m gonna want to peel back these callusesnAnd really feel life again, and that’s where my challenge isnI been kickin and bitin for so longnAnd when they throw me a rescue rope I'll be too weary to hold on and see the lightnSo I sing through the tears in the key of life the way a wounded ego mightnn[Chorus x2]nnMy joy done left me y'allnShe don’t show her face around these partsnEvery time she comes she gets chased offnSo she stays distantnnIf it weren’t for me squintin, he wouldn’t know the sun was outnI hate every word that come out of his fucking mouthnLadies treat him special, don’t know nothing bout himnThey saw what his wife see, they wouldn’t fuss about himnHe cant do shit right but rap and make babiesnAnd babies need daddy at home consistentnBut rap keep daddy on the road religiousnSo even in my true loves, my soul's so conflictednMy son came into this world innocentnHe deserves everything that he needs to live in itnAnd this home I made for him is brokennI’m hoping his love for me will never grow thinnIt hurts daddy to no end to know whennYou’re crying at the hospital I’m out trying to rock a shownI made a vow that we’d never be broke againnAnd I’d never be a burden on another friendnSo when I'm sweating on my farewell stagenAnd wrote my last hook in my last rhyme booknWhen I get my last nod of approval from my familynThis is the man that I have to benn[Chorus x4]nnSometimesnI feel like I'm almost gonenSometimesnI feel like I'm almost gonenYou ever felt that way
