Lyrics The Rain - DMX

The Rain

Denver
Chicago
It's such a long, long train ride
It's such a long lonely ride back home
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 nothing but being 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
Everyday it is (WhAt?)
Now I know
Only I can stop the rain
I won't even be able to walk out my front door
Without worrying about coming to conflict with the law
Cuz
Now I know
Only I can stop the rain
If I follow him, they'll follow me
And I'll speak life into the words that you can see
Cuz
Now I know (c'mon)
Only I can stop the rain
We get away with it everyday shit
But everyday shit catches up with you
And when it does you can't say shit
Now I know
Only I can stop the rain
If I don't, you will
What I won't, you still
What makes us feel like we gots to kill
When
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 (what) up for some slick shit
Now I know
Only I can stop the rain
I don't have to talk to it anymore
I don't have to walk to it anymore
I'm out the door (what)
Now I know
Only I can stop the rain
I wanna find peace with the lord
I don't wanna find the peace with the sword
I can't afford to
Now I know
Only I can stop the rain
When everyday of my life
Is just a constant fight
Between wrong and right
Now I know
Only I can stop the rain
I thank you lord for my life
I thank you lord for keeping 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
Now I know
Only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain, stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain because the rain calls on me
Now I know
Only I can stop the rain
Only I can stop the rain
I'm out
