The Notorious Rio - Rain on Me

This one right here is dedicated to the little *shorties* growing up, living that Chicago lifestyle. No mother, no father no education broken school system. No community programs for the Youth. Kids killing kids, just growing up in Rain... It's hard growing up in Chicago. But we must learn how to endure, R.A.I.N...!

Why don't you try to take a picture of my soul
My mind ponders travels young eleven years old
My hearts cold,
Every other day there is a body in the sheets
This is the life of a kid and his life in the streets
And my mind is steady flowing through a maze
I really need my daddy cause I'm living so afraid
It's a shame communication given from his grave
I think about this pain and the strain
Cause I'm living in this rain
Solitude mommy steady seeking for a drug
My best friend was shot he was murdered cold blood
This known love,
The only thing I know as I write to the beat
This is the life of a kid who gave his life to the streets
And the rain steady pouring adding pains
My grandmother cancer is spreading through her veins
It's a shame God has no answer to these claims
I think about this pain and the strain
Cause I'm living in this rain

I'm just trying to hold my head, trying to keep it on tight
Looking to the man-upstairs, got me thinking through the night
I think about the pain on me and then strain on me
I let it go and then rains on me....

I'm just trying to hold my head, trying to keep it on tight
Looking to the man-upstairs, got me thinking through the night
I think about the pain on me and then strain on me
I let it go and then rains on me....

I drink a whole bottle of the liquor to be sane
Without a role model I joined myself into a Gang
This hard pain,
Is what I can't explain I'm feeling out of my place
This is the life of a teen and the challenge he face
The overcast skies hovers at the plains
My grandmother casket is lowered beneath the grave
It's a shame the way this life is hitting on my brain
I think about this pain and the strain
Cause I'm living in this rain
Now being smart was considered not cool
Without a strong interest I chose to drop out of school
This hard fool,
With a lack of tools the provision I craved
This is the life that I choose the decision I made
And the rain steady pouring adding pains
I'm living in the streets and I'm feeling so ashamed
Without my family no ones left to be blamed
I think about this pain and the strain
Cause I'm living in this rain

I'm just trying to hold my head, trying to keep it on tight
Looking to the man-upstairs, got me thinking through the night
I think about the pain on me and then strain on me
I let it go and then rains on me....

I'm just trying to hold my head, trying to keep it on tight
Looking to the man-upstairs, got me thinking through the night
I think about the pain on me and then strain on me
I let it go and then rains on me....

I'm just trying to pour these lyrics from my lungs
So many tragedies in my life at so young
I'm Practically
Thinking of what I did just to hustle my way
About a million black kids share this struggle today
And the rain keeps pouring on my name
My childhood friends is either jailed or they're slayed
It's a shame the way my peopled played as a game
I think about this pain and the strain
Cause I'm living in this rain
So I start writing more music noting peace
It changed my whole life a different focus to the streets
This cold beast
The only thing I know as I'm writing my sins
This is the life of a kid who learned to fight with his pen
And the rain keeps pouring on the waves
I dedicate this song to all my loved ones in the grave
It's a shame the way this life has it's loss and gains
I thought about this pain and the strain
I'm just a victim of this rain....

This one right here is dedicated to little Jo-Jo. A little kid who was killed due to some bullshit in the streets in Chicago. We have to stop these KIDS KILLING KIDS.

Word up,

Stop the violence, increase the peace, one love, Rio, Rain, yeah R.A.I.N.!
