Ea$y Money - Rain Lyrics

What's good homie?, Yeah man we see you shining
I mean we don't see you around the hood but we see you shining
You all over the TV and shit yeah
Oh Mom? Nah, nah she's doing bad son, The whole hood is doing bad
Yeah you need to come around a little more fam, Listen...

[Verse 1:]
Dear Mr. rapper that's wealthy
I hear you say you bank account is rather healthy
Well I'm in a hard place, you have to help me
More like you've gotta help us
You know that we came up in the hood, the gutter and the slums
Now you doing good, But we still stuck up in these slums
What I'm saying is since you've come up on some funds
You ain't done as much as spare us a couple crumbs
Taking care of your baby mother and you son
But what about the other single mothers and their sons
Last week we had a toddler who would starve
To death and you put another car in your garage
Mom left him home alone, she was all out of dope
Started shooting, cause she's all out of hope
You should come around more and edify us
So we don't lose hope and our head is higher

[Hook:]
Now how you make it rain in the club?
Throwing up them ones and them dimes and them dubs
Showing them honeys love
When everyday it Rain in the hood
And they pray for just one time, we can see the sunshine
And how you ride around on Dubs?
Through them same streets that we're all trying to leave behind
What's on your mind?
Go ahead and make money, make make money money
But please don't never let the money make you, stay true

[Verse 2:]
It's all falling apart in the hood we rep
Meanwhile you demanding the hood respect
But if ever you should detect, the hood ain't showing love
Then you wanna show the hood neglect
It's crazy how somebody from the hood sees checks
And don't give back to the hood
He just gives his back to the hood
You know that isn't good
More attention is what we ought to pay
All the sports these kids can't afford to play
How about sponsoring a league so they all can play
Before you flash rented jewels, in your interviews
Tell them how you made the projects look presentable
Reach out so we aspire to be more
Rather than a hitman for hire or D boy
Rebuild the community, why do we destroy?
We need to take pride in our streets more

[Hook:]
Now how you make it rain in the club?
Throwing up them ones and them dimes and them dubs
Showing them honeys love
When everyday it Rain in the hood
And they pray for just one time, we can see the sunshine
And how you ride around on Dubs?
Through them same streets that we're all trying to leave behind
What's on your mind?
Go ahead and make money, make make money money
But please don't never let the money make you, stay true

What up fam, welcome home my nigga?
What's good baby boy what's poppin?
Come up off that shit, you ain't from around here no more

[Verse 3:]
That there is a Consequence
Of a rapper Getting Out His Dreams, having no Common Sense
These are your people, you say you rep for them
From the same place you know longer step foot in
All the ra ra you spit, it's a great percentage
The kids that try to emulate your image
So rather then feed then what can get then to prison
Kick in some bread for a better school system
Before you keep it gutter man, be a brother and
In addition to yours, feed another fam
Think of how you can heal the aches and pains
And bring em sunshine before you make it rain
Homie reconsider that, and give it to a righteous cause
F*ck it just write it off and get it back

[Hook:]
Now how you make it rain in the club?
Throwing up them ones and them dimes and them dubs
Showing them honeys love
When everyday it Rain in the hood
And they pray for just one time, we can see the sunshine
And how you ride around on Dubs?
Through them same streets that we're all trying to leave behind
What's on your mind?
Go ahead and make money, make make money money
But please don't never let the money make you, stay true
