The Rain
Scott, Jill
Collaborations (2007)

(feat. Will Smith)



[Will Smith]
At age seventeen, the worst pain, a hurrcaine
Her first name still conjuers 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 arc
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
Bringing 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 knees I knelt
Since then, the rain I never felt
What’s wit’ it

[Chorus]

[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, 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 the 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 delt
And since then, the rain I never felt
What’s wit’ it

[Chorus]
