Kid Cudi — Rainy Days

[Verse 1] I hate when it rains, all I really do is sit on my ass Thinking of the next scheme just to double my cash If I ain't thinking about cash, nigga I'm thinking bout' life Making a change, no winners do the same shit twice Rainy days are a pain, felt the rush through my veins Can't go to sleep, somebody's looking through my window pane Mane, I swear I'm gon' catch em' But maybe I'm trippin' like Scarface My mind's playing tricks on me homie When it rains, shit, I just wanna know where Do' is Is he safe, warm and out the elements? Mommy let him come home I think a nigga done doing wrong I get scared of the day when his soul will be gone It's spoken words to thoughts. never been spittin' in vain It seems the only way to sunshine is through the hard rain I need to find a path leading to change, ask God if he feels my pain That please won't you stop the rain [Hook] Please stop the rain Ask God if he feels my pain Please stop the rain Please stop the rain Ask God if he feels my pain Please stop the rain [Verse 2] Grey clouds started forming Gathered around my father's homecoming When his soul on this earth was summoned I remember a white church And my lips had a salty taste From the tears runnin' down my face Can't erase the hurt Watchin' my father's body lowered in dirt My uncle and cousin passed too What's life worth? If it rained sometimes I would just sit there and cry At recess, didn't wanna play I just wished I would die Things rushed through my head back when I was eleven Praying and hoping that my dad had made it to heaven It was hard being the youngest And no one helped me Everybody seemed happy And no one felt me But regardless of the fact I did the best that I can Making the transition from boy straight to a grown man But understand, I felt the shame And I feel the same, that God just needs To stop the rain [Hook:] Please stop the rain Ask God if he feels my pain Please stop the rain Please stop the rain Ask God if he feels my pain Please stop the rain [Verse 3] Back then I was young Now I'm grown here to fend on my own I'm speaking and bringing the truth through this lyrical poem And it's hard cause these niggas can't see Open up your eyes you can recognize me I felt the rain like every other nigga did Nigga always slip and stand up so I slid It's part of the life while every thing seems trife And everything wrong very well may be right It's just confusing and some people can't handle Their mind breaks down, and their hearts start to dismantle But I'm that boy to use the hand of evil dreams God realize that this life is way more then it seems It's just something you learn on the daily as your mind matures Can't ruin the life with a heart so pure And since I realize that things won't change God you can keep with the same Cause Im'a just deal with the rain [Hook:] Im'a deal with the rain Tell God just to leave it the same Im'a deal with the rain (x4) {Outro} Rainy days Okay, why's that? Yeah in Cleveland, it rains Not all the time but To a kid who wants to go out and play It seems like it rains every day Kids expect it to rain sometimes but For one kid it rained too much
