Canibus - In The Rain lyrics

[Hook x2]

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?

Cereal 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

Hailey 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

[Hook x2]

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-i-bus is not what he deserves to be

I just wanna rhyme, I don't wanna beef wit you

But if you bite me, I'ma 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 sterotype us, we freedom fighters

We drive all night through the rain wit' no wippers

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

[Hook x2]

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'ma 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 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?
