Canibus - In the Rain lyrics
[Canibus - In the Rain lyrics]
Drivin' all night through the rain
Tryin' to escape the pain i can't get away
With the way I drive will
I make it home alive? How will I survive?
Serial 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
Halle 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
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-Ibus is not what he deserves to be
I just wanna rhyme
I don't wanna beef wit you
But, if you bite me
I'mma put my teeth in you
I want the whole world to say, "Canibus
I believe in you"
The same way, my man, Ricky Lee would do
Don't stereotype us, we freedom fighters
We drive all night through the
Rain wit' no wipers
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
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'mma 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 on the prize 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?
Tryin' to escape the pain i can't get away
With the way I drive will
I make it home alive? How will I survive?
Serial 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'
