Walking In The Rain

[Intro: Exodus Simmons]

Dear God, watch over me

Watch over mommy, watch over daddy

Watch over all God's children, amen

[Chorus: DMX]

Huh, walkin' in the rain

Huh, walkin' in the rain

Huh, walkin' in the, rrr

[Verse 1: DMX]

Look here, I grew up with the thing, hard living (Uh-huh)

Found out the source of the pain God givin' (Ooh)

He left me with no shelter in the rain

But I learned to stay dry, so it wasn't in vain

Every time you go through somethin', there's somethin' to gain

And you only truly suffer if you remain the same (Come on)

Let the dirt you go through change you (What?)

Don't forget, evеn Satan was an angel

You can't go through life walkin' blind

Gotta not only speak your hеart but talk your mind (Uh)

One thing lead to another (Yeah)

How I get down is I will bleed for my brother (What?)

Man, I'm a different ni**a (Man)

I'ma say it once (Please stop) all that riffin', ni**a (Woo)

For the sake of all the people that love you, I'm a goon (Man)

Leave your family in the park lettin' go of balloons

We miss you

[Bridge: dEnAun]

I don't always get my share of roses

For me, sunny days are always comin', goin'

I know we all got our share of trials and tribulations, yeah

But I done rode for some of y'all

When you ain't even have a ride yourself

So tell me why I'm walkin', walkin', walkin'?

[Chorus: DMX & dEnAun]

Huh, walkin' in the rain

Walkin', walkin', walkin'

Huh, walkin' in the rain

Walkin', walkin', walkin'

Huh, walkin' in the rain

Walkin', walkin', walkin'

Huh, walkin' in the, rrr (Walkin')

[Verse 2: Nas]

We in the new dark ages

We reject who we really are, adaptation

Accept no cheap imitations

I am the streets meet civilization, police precinct 114 chased him

Who should be held accountable

For the hell I encountered just explorin' the town I knew?

You pray a predator choose, I fared better than many

Y'all fear some career gun-slangin' youngsters

Coulda went to war, probably wouldn't have overcome it

I coulda been still bitter now, 'cause there's no middle ground

Locked up juveniles make grown men doubt

Made me wanna get myself knocked in jail just to get you inside

Can't even wait 'til you get out to air you out

As a teen, it's just a few things I cared about

Facts, I made it, impact behavior like the eternal flame

In Martin Luther's grave, yeah, gotta keep burnin', unabated

Turn a man to a millionaire

Just to tell you how good that my day went

My life should be an Ava DuVernay flick

Denzel plays a younger Nas with some CGI

If you rock with your day ones, bless

If you do not, don't let it stress

There's friends I only see once a year

Nothing changed, love is there

Some brothers you outgrow, you leave 'em there, yeah

[Chorus: DMX & dEnAun]

Huh, walkin' in the rain

Walkin', walkin', walkin'

Huh, walkin' in the rain

Walkin', walkin', walkin'

Huh, walkin' in the, rrr

Walkin', walkin', walkin'

[Outro: DMX & Exodus Simmons]

Walkin' in the rain

Walkin' in the rain

Walkin' in the rain

Walkin' in the rain
