The Rain - DMX

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
