The Rain ft. Scotie Keeys Lyrics

Keeys on the keys

You know we all came out of the rain

And though the past doesn't define who we are, it's definitely a part of who we are

And it's important to remember where we came from

We gotta live to see the sunshine and rainbows on the other side

Me personally, I could never forget the rain

How could I forget about the rain

It fertilized the dirt from which I came

(And somehow I'm still thankful despite all the damage)

Through all the pain, scars still remain

So much has changed since I came in from the rain

Jumping off the porch, it wasn't a last resort

Age 12, maybe before the first time I handled a torch

Started selling loosey ports

One for 30 cents, get two for a quarter more

Stealing juices out the store, same place my homies bled poor

While you hustle for Audemars, I'm thinking about tomorrow

These angels protect my aura, explain how I deflect horror

So dove deeper in the game

The re-up now is cane, cook it up before I slang

Knew a teacher and a doctor, said they smoke it for the pain

I found it quite ironic, I blew trees for the same thing

On the block, we superstitious

Just to chill, come with conditions

Don't trust those who act suspicious, so it's best to handle business

These streets dirty, you hygienic, repent, beg God for forgiveness

Before 18, life is finished

Ask them kids, they burned in ditches

Seen a snake, shed skin for digits

So-called gangsters started snitching

I wish someone had told me, but I probably wouldn't listen

How could I forget about the rain

It fertilized the dirt from which I came

(I lost my way, getting washed away in the gutters)

Through all the pain, scars still remain

So much has changed since I came in from the rain

Didn't have parents in mind, earned what should've been inside

Too young to try and learn this life, GTA running red lights

Smile, when my turn to fight, it's wild how we survived

Turned the mud to paradise and burnt the love of parasites

Too hungry to be humble, toasted bread as cookies crumble

Acrobatic with the bundles, but ooh, the bags that I fumbled

They crossed and left me like poncho

I don't care about your beaches, dog, I'm running through the jungle

A successor of the struggle

Trust issues cause you misused the times I thought I trusted you

I showed and proved my love was true

It's crazy, I looked up to you

Saw things a couple bucks would do, watch you switch up on the crew

Don't know why they was fond of you when we was all just pawns to you

Too broke to pay attention, still grateful for all the lessons

They hate me cause my ascension exposing all those pretending

Success will ruin my friendships

It's cool, don't want to be friends with

Dimwits invading my segment

You can hate me from a distance

How could I forget about the rain

It fertilized the dirt from which I came

(I know a lot of people who ain't make it out that same storm)

Through all the pain, scars still remain

So much has changed since I came in from the rain

How could I forget about the rain

It fertilized the dirt from which I came

(But somehow I'm still standing here shining)

Through all the pain, scars still remain

So much has changed since I came in from the rain

From dark days and cold nights

My heart saved my soul, right

The part I played in my old life

Why I parted ways with that low life

Grim reaper felt like a friend of mine

My heart of diamonds, see stars aligning

Spirits guiding a marvelous lion

To harvest a mind that'll hear it's calling

Strength is pain that's hurting me

But act like it don't burden me

My past no longer cursing me

Them demons, I'm still purging these

Purpose to be purposefully

Live my life with urgency

But please don't get it twisted

I'll snap back to the worst of me

Bad at games, I had to change

The hatred in my brain

Won't allow life to be sane

So long as ice inside my veins

So I stood up then overcame

They all love when you reign

But won't none of them go through rain

That's why I love the rain

Trust me, I'm still thankful

When them weights was on my ankles

Taught me play from different angles

Aye, shout out to my angels

Never gave up, tho it's shameful

Know y'all tired of the same old

Don't ever forget, life's a gift

Sit back, reminisce the rain and mist
