Lyrics Canibus – In The Rain
Text:
Hook x2
Drivin’ all night through the rain
Tryin’ to escape the pain
I can’t get away
How will I survive?
Cereal killer, slasher, Rip the Jacker
Been on America’s Most and still can’t be captured
Think about it, how am I supposed to feel?
If you ain’t have a record deal, how would you feel?
In a world where it seems like you’re all alone
Like my name didn’t help the rap market grow
Like I’m hardly gold, like I ain’t got a remarkable flow
When I deserved to die old and broke
I’d rather have an overdose doin’ coke or dope or both
Gettin’ bathed in a bathhouse by Dorothy Dandrich
Hailey Berry and Jennifer Lo, bending over for soap
What a way to go
A friend of mine told me that I know a lot of nothing
I looked him in the eyes and said at least I know something
I know I’ve been driving all night through the rain
And I’m lookin’ for a sunny day
I wanna run away
Hook x2
I be the first one to tell you I’m an ill emcee
But I’m a human being and if you prick me, I bleed
I might bleed internally, but it’s still hurting me
Can-i-bus is not what he deserves to be
I just wanna rhyme, I don’t wanna beef wit you
But if you bite me, I’ma put my teeth in you
The same way, my man, Ricky Lee would do
Don’t sterotype us, we freedom fighters
We drive all night through the rain wit’ no wippers
I paid that price a couple of times
And when I’m on the mic, I spit double the rhymes
I ain’t scared of the competition
But I want you to listen to me even when I’m not rippin’
I hope you never have to feel my pain
I hope you never have to drive all night through the rain
Hook x2
Will somebody please tell me, what does it take?
I been on promotional tours, from state-to-state
I’ve done a 100 Bars on mixtape
People recognize the face, but the sales don’t equate
I guess I’ll plead guilty if
Rippin’ a rhyme is a crime
Cause I’ma get mine or die tryin’
I’m verbally inclined to shine
I spin like a turnbine and blow the rain clouds out the sky
I drive through the rain til the roads get dry
Bonafide Gladiator that was born to ride
You could never put a price on my pride
If I have to, I’ll swim against the tide til my arms get tired
But I won’t disappear and I will not be quiet
Or get pushed to the side, I will not be denied
Keep my eyes and ignore the pain
No matter how long I gotta drive through the rain
With the way I drive, will I make it home alive?
