[Intro – Spoken] “Late night again… city lights hittin’ the glass like memories. Another storm outside, but it ain’t worse than the one in my head. They say the rain wash away pain — nah… it just make it clearer. Let’s talk about it…” --- [Verse 1 – Rap (Doubletime)] Rain hittin’ my window like gunshots echoin’ from the past, Speedin’ down MLK, watchin’ ghosts in the glass, Every corner got a name, every block got a story, Lost too many homies chasin’ short-time glory. Heart heavy, I been carryin’ this pain like luggage, Mama told me “forgive,” but these streets don’t love us. Tires slide through puddles, reflections of decisions, Prayin’ I don’t crash into my own collisions. Used to hustle in them nights where the sirens sang, Now I hustle with my soul, still the fire rang. You can see it in my scars, I ain’t here for the fame, I’m here to speak for the ones who ain’t got no name. Every loss made me colder, every tear made me realer, Had to build my peace while surrounded by killers. I done seen angels cry over men with no halo, Dreams die slow when the money say “stay low.” Still I rise with the rain, keep my circle small, ’Cause when the sun come out, fake ones dissolve. Eyes red from the pain, but I keep my vision, Every verse I write — that’s divine revision. --- [Chorus – Sung (Soulful / Melancholic)] Even when the rain keep fallin’, I won’t fade away, Tryna find light in the storm, but the sky still gray. If I lose myself tonight, Lord, help me find my way, I’m still standin’ in the rain — but I’m stronger today. --- [Verse 2 – Rap (Doubletime)] See, I done buried too many dreams with these hands, Had to learn the hard way, life don’t make no plans. Every time I try to breathe, the streets pull me deeper, Faith on the edge, but the devil a believer. Lost my brother to a bullet, no goodbye, just silence, Now I talk to him in songs, that’s my form of defiance. Ain’t no love in the hood, just pain with a smile, You can drown in success if your soul ain’t in style. Tryna feed my fam, tryna heal my city, But these scars don’t fade — they just sit and pity. I remember long nights, no heat, no sleep, Just me and my conscience tryna make ends meet. I was fifteen dreamin’ ‘bout a better day, Now I’m thirty-somethin’ tryna keep the pain away. Every call that I miss could be one I regret, So I keep my phone close like my life’s in debt. Trust few, love hard, but the world so cold, Every story that I tell got a price untold. Still ridin’ with the rain, window fogged and tense, Every raindrop feel like a life expense. --- [Chorus – Sung (Soulful / Melancholic)] Even when the rain keep fallin’, I won’t fade away, Tryna find light in the storm, but the sky still gray. If I lose myself tonight, Lord, help me find my way, I’m still standin’ in the rain — but I’m stronger today. --- [Verse 3 – Rap (Doubletime)] Now it’s me versus time, memories versus peace, Tryna keep my faith steady while my demons feast. I been prayin’ for a reason, but the answer slow, Sometimes you gotta bleed for your soul to grow. I done gave this world everything I had left, From my tears to my trust, to my last breath. But I’m still here — rain-soaked, battle-worn, unbroken, Every rhyme that I spit is a prayer unspoken. Got kids lookin’ up like I’m somethin’ divine, But I’m just a man tryna walk that line. Between sin and redemption, pain and peace, Tryna turn my trauma into inner release. Still roll solo, still keep it realer than most, When I talk to the lost, I ain’t here to boast. I’m here to show ‘em you can stand in the storm, You can rise through the rain, and still transform. No fame, no chains, just a voice and truth, I’m proof pain can raise a stronger youth. So I ride through the city, rain on my hood, Every drop remind me — I made it out the mud. --- [Chorus – Sung (Soulful / Melancholic)] Even when the rain keep fallin’, I won’t fade away, Tryna find light in the storm, but the sky still gray. If I lose myself tonight, Lord, help me find my way, I’m still standin’ in the rain — but I’m stronger today. --- [Outro – Spoken] “The rain don’t stop me… it baptize me. Every drop remind me who I am — and who I lost. But I’m still standin’. Always.”
