The Rain

The Rain - DMX

Now I know only I can stop the rain

Uh uh uh uh uh

Now I know only I can stop the rain

It's not that we gotta do what we do

It's what we know

So to me it ain't nuttin but bein true but

Now I know only I can stop the rain

It doesn't have to be the way it is

You say it is

Just because for the past 20 years

Every day it is

Now I know only I can stop the rain

I wanna be able to walk out my front door

Without worryin about comin in conflict

With the law cause

Now I know only I can stop the rain

If I follow Him they'll follow me

And I'll speak life

Into the word that you can see

Now I know only I can stop the rain

We get away with everyday sh*t

But everyday sh*t

Catches up to you and when it

Does you can't say sh*t

Now I know only I can stop the rain

If I don't you will

When I won't you steal

What makes it feel like we gots to kill

Now I know only I can stop the rain

How many more lives must we lose

How many more times must we choose

To trust these fools

Now I know only I can stop the rain

If it ain't broke don't fix it

I gave it to you straight don't mix

It twist it up on some slick sh*t

Now I know only I can stop the rain

I don't have to talk to it any more

I don't have to walk to it any more

I'm out the door

Now I know only I can stop the rain

I wanna find peace with the Lord

I don't wanna find a beast with the sword

I can't afford to

Now I know only I can stop the rain

When every day of my life

Is a constant fight between wrong and right

Now I know only I can stop the rain

I thank you Lord for my life

Thank you Lord for keepin it loose

When things got tight

Now I know only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the pain yeahh

Now I know only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the rain stop the rain

Yeahh what

Only I (only I)

Can stop (can stop) the rain (the rain)

Only I can stop the rain

Cause the rain falls on me

Now I know only I can stop the rain

Only I can stop the rain
