Ni**a, we too close, can`t stop praying now
Though it seems there`s no end to this pain
Every time I close my eyes I pray for rain
I pray for rain to wash away the strain

Ni**a, we too close, can`t stop praying now
Though it seems there`s no end to this pain
Every time I close my eyes I pray for rain
I pray for rain to wash away the strain

You couldn`t understand how much the pain weight
So in the hood we love the rainy days
`Cause sub constantly we know the sun`s coming
We love the winter `cause we know the summers coming

Remember I got locked the same night my son was coming
All I could do is pray that they don`t take me away
And Lord knows I have the angel`s on my side
They search the car, I had the hammer in my ride

A miracle on flat bush avenue
I still made it back to say push when she was having you
A newer version, a younger me
I want him to go to school and raise him up gun free

I swear some places I don`t want him to be
And I swear some things I don`t want him to see
But new booty, daddy loves you truly
So the nights you don`t see me, you know daddy`s on his duty

Ni**a, we too close, can`t stop praying now
Though it seems there`s no end to this pain
Every time I close my eyes I pray for rain
I pray for rain to wash away the strain

What`s a poor man`s pickle? Survive threw the poor
Pull a truck upfront and drive threw the store
Had to be a felon, hated being proper
Read the book of life and satin was the author

Still I was the colperate rather be in rikers
The bugger had my baby momma running threw them diapers
All for that s**tting and all them pampers
Grandma layed up with all of that cancer

Lid paint flaking constantly chipping
Mama with that dark rum constantly sipping
I vow to my name a bad transmission
For getting in the game that`s a bad transition

One flick, one night I`m ally ally outsin` free
For getting you a place with a G
A couple heavy shots I`ma newer man ready
Go and get paper the hustler with the confetti, I`m ready

Ni**a, we too close, can`t stop praying now
Though it seems there`s no end to this pain
Every time I close my eyes I pray for rain
I pray for rain to wash away the strain

I can truly understand
How life can drain all the passion from a man
With just one chance it can change his circ**stance
And get that money, baby, get that money, babe
Let`s get this money, baby, yeah

Ni**a, we too close, can`t stop praying now
Though it seems there`s no end to this pain
Every time I close my eyes I pray for rain
I pray for rain to wash away the strain
