until heaven stop the rain until heaven come up and stop the rain optimism in my heart a child of god a couple of years ago my life was falling apart job that i was working didnt want me no more four months later some niggas kick down my door denied unemployment pay bills everyday in a separate room with myself is where i laid in the mist of foreclosure my people a cloud hovered and rained on my head non stop is how i suffered had two daughters biological was outstanding my stepdaughter she hated me misunderstandings the fire fanning should have been with her dad half a year later my marriage was really bad all i had was this music everything else im losing it hoping when these doors close shut some others open up its just the same old song without the singing so i pull my hood over my mind for stormy evenings until heaven stop the rain until heaven come up and stop the rain i asked god if he could take the rain away today but he aint answer so i said ok the function of the sky was grey and needed colouring other then a peep in the night so now my brother men keep twisting attitude shifting and bending hell i am pretending for levels lacking the sending of a challenge just to change your life stories to memories more knowledge to read at night become your history for years and years crystal ball is clear watching my life inside of it i have no fear to tell ya man its more to life than your idea wisdom man it grows like buildings holding careers we either talk to the next man or the reverend how we doing wrong not right starts at eleven talk to my daughter about life mainly the seven given birth on earth as it is in heaven until heaven stop the rain until heaven come up and stop the rain
