Common - Rain

 
1
Copied!

{verse 1: john legend}
The wind against my face, tells me that i must go
Can't stay around too long before my tracks gonna catch me
When they do, i've got to be somewhere in l.a.
So i can look at the sun and get my thinking done
And if it's gonna rain tomorrow, let it rain

{verse 2: john legend}
The last note i sang was indeed a false plié
At some old and shabby bar, i never knew the name
But i knew i could and work there, 'cause to follow my dreams
They tell me find that place, find that place
And if it's gonna rain tomorrow, let it rain
Let it rain

{verse 3: common}
As the rain falls down from the heavеns
Think of how far i came since '87
Took my hustle and madе it a weapon
I was always told, "in the pain there's a blessing"
Mistakes that i made, they mirrored the lessons
Talking with god, i asked clearer questions
Dear lord, is this what i'm destined for?
If so, then what am i stressing for?
We tight, then why can't i let it go?
Everything gon' be alright, it's more than a metaphor
Let it rain 'cause it's ancestral
Cleanse my heart so they can see the best in you
Let it rain and come down visceral
For those no longer here in the physical
Let it rain 'cause it's like tears from you
Just like the rain, i'll do what i'm here to do
Let it rain, i know that it's purposeful
So it can service you and return to you
Let it rain, let the rain surround me
And never drown me, i was lost when it found me
Now in a dream is where i'll be
Imperial reign came down to crown me
Now in a dream is where i'll be
Imperial reign came down to crown me

{outro: john legend, common}
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Imperial reign came down to crown me
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
Rain

Common, born Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. on March 13, 1972, is a Grammy and Oscar-winning rapper and actor hailing from Chicago, Illinois. Known for his poetic flow and soulful hip-hop style, Common has solidified his place as one of the most respected artists in the industry.

Growing up, Common served as a ball boy for the Chicago Bulls before attending Florida A&M University to study business administration.

Common released his debut album "Can I Borrow a Dollar?" in 1992, followed by his breakthrough second album "Resurrection" in 1994, which featured the classic single "I Used to Love H.E.R."
