Now itâs raining inside, but thatâs not unusual
But the way that Iâm feelingâs, becoming usual (What up Class)
I guess you could say (Joey)
The clouds are moving away (You talk to em')
[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
No more running from the black cloud, got it all mapped out
I put it in a figure-four until it tap out (yeah)
Still there some that rather see me in a crack house
Stick up kids staking' out the block trying jack Mouse
Newsflash if you thinking Iâm a cash cow
You probably ainât a fan nigga, that ainât what I rap âbout
Iâm on setting goals, trying to achieve it
Iâm such an open book but they donât bother to read it (ha)
The teacher said I would never get ahead (nah)
All I could do is laugh, them threats was all funny
According to her Iâd be dead before twenty (uh)
But itâs cool, Iâve been mislead before honey (oh)
Iâm checking for more money, you will be disorganized
Use to staring at tortured eyes from my walk of life
Want to let her know I got a lot left to give
Itâs difficult to understand what you never lived
Now itâs raining inside, but thatâs not unusual
But the way that Iâm feelingâs, becoming usual
I guess you could say
The clouds are moving away
Ayo, thatâs how my days go, from rain showers to rainbows
Iâm from the place of mayflowers and raincoats
John Smiths and Jane Does
A bunch of nobodies who talk shit out their a-hole
But thatâs just the way it goes, I pay no mind to banks close
I know it takes two to tango, so I lay low
We brush âem off AJoe (oh!), not a word
Weâre borderline assholes like immigration officers
Word, it gets better and gets worse
Iâm more used to it everyday Iâm on this Earth
People think they know me real good (they donât, they donât)
Tryin to pinpoint, judge me? (I know, I know)
Yâall need to look a little deeper than the little whiff of reefer
That I bring into the double feature movie at the theater
I live away the day while youâre playing your charades
I could weather out the storm, so rain on my parade (Iâm used to it anyway)
Now itâs raining inside, but thatâs not unusual (No, no, no, no)
But the way that Iâm feelingâs, becoming usual
Uh, my sermon wonât be over âtil church end (uh)
My first Benz made me see, see I had the worst friends (uh)
Meanwhile thought I was hanging with the same men (uh)
Success ainât never change me but it changed them
Something different about me, you can blame time
It ainât a crime why, âcause your problems ainât mine
I learned quick if they donât care about everything that you bear
Must mean that everything ainât meant to be shared (shared)
I share the same views
When things are getting rough, there are few who remain true (ha)
This ainât new (nah), ainât nothing unusual
I donât need you, Iâm glad that feels mutual
How can you be so shallow, swimming in the deep water?
Itâs a fine line and your walking on the edge
Yeah Iâm used to the rain falling on my head
But this weather got we wishing I was crawling into bed
Itâs cold, life is snowballing again
Now itâs raining inside, but thatâs not unusual
But the way that Iâm feelingâs, becoming usual
I guess you could say
The clouds are moving away
