DMX - Walking in the Rain ft. dEnAun, Exodus Simmons & Nas

[Intro: Exodus Simmons]
Dear God, watch over me
Watch over mommy, watch over daddy
Watch over all God's children, amen

[Chorus: DMX]
Huh, walkin' in the rain
Huh, walkin' in the rain
Huh, walkin' in the, rrr

[Verse 1: DMX]
Okay
I grew up with the thing, hard living
Found out the source of the pain God givin'
He left me with no shelter in the rain
But I learned to stay dry, so it wasn't in vain
Every time you go through somethin', there's somethin' to gain
And you only truly suffer if you remain the same (Come on)
Don't let the dirt you go through change you
Don't forget, even Satan was an angel
You can't go through life walkin' blind
Gotta not only speak your heart but talk your mind
One thing lead to another
How I get down, I will pray for my brother
Man, I'm a different nigga
I'ma sell nonstop, all that riffin' nigga
For the sake of all the people that love you, I'm a goon
Leave your family in the park, let them dart balloons

[Bridge: dEnAuN]
I don't always get my share of roses
For me, sunny days are always comin' and goin'
I know we all gotta share our trials and tribulations, yeah
But I done rode for some of y'all
When you ain't even have a ride yourself
So tell me why I'm walkin' (Walkin'), walkin'

[Chorus: dEnAuN & DMX]
Huh, walkin' in the rain
Walkin', walkin', walkin'
Huh, walkin' in the rain
Walkin', walkin', walkin'
Huh, walkin' in the rain
Walkin', walkin', walkin'
Huh, walkin' in the, rrr

[Verse 2: Nas]
We in the new dark ages
We reject who we really are, adaptation
Accept no cheap imitations
I am "the streets meet civilization", police precinct 114 chased him
Who should be held accountable
For the hell I encountered just explorin' the town I knew?
You pray, a predator choose, I fared better than many
I fear some career gun-slangin' youngsters
Could've went to war, probably wouldn't have overcome it
I could've been still bitter now, 'cause there's no middle ground
Locked up juveniles make grown men doubt
Made me wanna get myself not to jail, just to get you inside
Can't even wait 'til you get out to air you out as team
It's just a few things I cared about
Fascinated impact behavior like the eternal flame in Martin Luther's grave, yeah
Gotta keep burnin'
Unabated, turn a man to a millionaire just to tell you how good my day went
My life should be an Ava DuVernay flick
Denzel plays a younger Nas with some CGI
If you rock with your day ones, bless
If you do not, don't let it stress
There's friends I only see once a year
Nothing's changed, love is there
Some brothers you outgrow, leave 'em there

[Chorus: DMX]
Huh, walkin' in the rain
Walkin', walkin', walkin'
Huh, walkin' in the rain
Walkin', walkin', walkin'
Huh, walkin' in the rain
Walkin', walkin', walkin'
Huh, walkin' in the, rrr

[Outro: DMX & Exodus Simmons]
Walkin' in the rain
Walkin' in the rain
Walkin' in the rain
Walkin' in the rain
