The rain is fallin' and the weather is cold   Don't know which way to go but I continue to roll   The rainfall is really takin' a toll   On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul      The rain's fallin' but I'm keepin' a hold   On the life 'cause I know that I could spin outta control   I know, know, I know, know   I know this is gonna be one rocky road      Uhh, what part of the voyage is this?   Friendship and business don't mix   With anyone else it's just business   With friends I'm personally pissed      Is this a curse or a gift?   Guess I was blessed with my wish   Don't tell me that you feel my pain   Then I sayin? it's best that we switch      You take the fortune and fame   And see if it's what you expected   Take the money and change   And be careful where you invest it      Just take the test and don't stress it   You get stopped by a detective   Tryin' to get in your personal life   Gotta do your best to protect it      The answer rest in the message   When I go, I go in a blaze   But it won?t be no captain savin'   'Cause where I'm goin' you?re saved      Tryin' to rain down on my parade   Till that umbrella get raised   They thinkin' that they can read me   When they ain't no where my page      Tryin' to keep a smile on my face   Even at times when I engage   In business conversations   With people I know are snakes      If life is a piece of cake   Part of the icin' is venom   Spend a life time tryin' to bring me down   But I just ain't gonna let 'em, you better tell ?em      The rain is fallin' and the weather is cold   Don't know which way to go but I continue to roll   The rainfall is really takin' a toll   On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul      The rain's fallin' but I'm keepin' a hold   On the life 'cause I know that I could spin outta control   I know, know, I know, know   I know this is gonna be one rocky road      Uhh, I'm back and forth and I'm pacin'   Bein' more patient than patience   Tryin' to wait for the good news to show up   But I'm unfortunately waitin'      Gotta be group participation   If it's in the course that we makin'   I was unfortunately done   She was unfortunately fakin'      But the only sexual spark   Is the spark he got for the doe'   They say till death do us part   But that part is where she says no      There are too many emotions   Emotions like pins and needles   Actin' like emotions are evil   Like showin' love is illegal      I thought that it was a eagle   But I seen this vulture before   He thinks this is were I'll stop   'Cause he sees that I'm walkin' slow      But no, I think you should know   That soon as I get where I go   You'll remember the fact   That I had a purpose fo'sho      I hope you know where you?re goin'   I hope you know that today   On the side of the road   You gon' see a whole lotta snakes      When the bad weather comes   To rain down on your parade   Just raise up your umbrella   And try to keep goin' straight      The rain is fallin' and the weather is cold   Don't know which way to go but I continue to roll   The rainfall is really takin' a toll   On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul      The rain's fallin' but I'm keepin' a hold   On the life 'cause I know that I could spin outta control   I know, know, I know, know   I know this is gonna be one rocky road      This road has many curves   Many bumps and potholes   It can even take you through a loop   If you ain't got your s*** together      Unpredictable weather could leave you   Dehydrated, frost bitten, washed away, or either   Ran over by heavy traffic, watch where you roam   'Cause it's a challenge just tryin' to make it home      But still I walk, I keep my pace, I keep my stride   Would hitch hike but there's too much pride   I must find a narrow path so I can walk and laugh out loud   Cry and sing without bein' judged by the crowd      Maybe some day I could just fly away   But for now I'll just beat my feet   And get there someway somehow      And mile, after mile, after mile I'll smile   Keepin' my head up even though rains pourin' down   And the road gets rough and the journey is long   I might get tired but I must move on      The rain is fallin' and the weather is cold   Don't know which way to go but I continue to roll   The rainfall is really takin' a toll   On my mind and my body and on my spirit and soul      The rain's fallin' but I'm keepin' a hold   On the life 'cause I know that I could spin outta control   I know, know, I know, know   I know this is gonna be one rocky road      Most of our heroes are locked up, diseased or deceased   We can never really remorse until somebody restin' in peace   We measure the best by success and ain't impressed by nothin' less   Only time we say we wanna change is when we ain't got no change left      Only time we call on God is when is nobody else to call   Keep stumblin' over the same road block that just made ya fall   We always gotta wait till somethin' happen before we start reactin'   We at war with ourselves, how much longer are we gonna be attackin'?
