[Lyrics]

Yeah
I hate when it rains... all I really do is sit on my ass
Thinking of the next scheme just to double my cash
If I ain't thinkin about cash, nigga I'm thinking bout' life
Making a change, no winners do the same shit twice
Rain dayz and the pain, just rest on my veins
Can't go to sleep, somebodys looking through my window pane
Mane, I swear I'm going catch em' but maybe I'm trippin like scarface
My minds playing tricks on me homie, will it
Rain, shit! I just wanna know where do' is
Is he safe, warm and out the elements, mommy let him come home
I think a niggas done doing wrong I get scared of the days when the soul will be gone
It's spoken word but thoughts never been spittin in vein
Seems like the only way to sunshine is through the hard rain
I need to find a path leading the change, ask God if he feels my pain
And please would you stop the Rain...

[Chorus: repeats]
Please Stop The Rain
Ask God If He Feels My Pain

Grey clouds started forming,
Gathered around my father's homecoming,
When his soul, on this earth, was summoned.
I remember a white church,
And my lips had a salty taste
From the tears runnin' down my face.
Can't erase the hurt.
Watchin' my father's body lowered in dirt,
While my uncle and cousin passed too.
What's life worth?
If it rained,
Sometimes I would just sit there and cry.
At recess, didn't wanna play, I just wished I would die.
Things,
Rushed through my head back when I was eleven,
Praying and hoping that my dad had made it to heaven.
It was hard being the youngest,
And no one helped me.
Everybody seemed happy,
And no one felt me.
But regardless of the fact,
I did the best that I can.
Making the transition from boy,
Straight to a grown man.
But understand, I felt the shame.
And I feel the same, that God just needs...
To stop the rain.

[Chorus:]
Please Stop The Rain
Ask God If He Can Feel My Pain

Back then I was young,
Now I'm grown here to fend on my own.
I'm speaking and bringing the truth through this lyrical poem.
And it's hard cause these niggas can't see...
Open up your eyes you can recognize me.
I felt the rain like every other nigga did,
Nigga always slip and stand up so I slid.
It's part of the life,
While every thing seems trife.
And everything wrong very well may be right.
It's just confusing and some people can't handle.
There mind breaks down, and their hearts start to dismantel.
But I'm that boy to use the hand of evil dreams.
God realize that this life is way more then it seems.
It's just somthin you learn on the daily as your mind matures.
Can't ruin the life with a heart so pure.
And since I realize that things won't change,
God you can keep with the same.
Cause I'm a just deal with the rain!

[Chorus:]
I'm a Deal With The Rain
Tell God Just To Keep It The Same

[BelieveInUrself]

cudi just gets it. i wouldn't say he's underrated because everyone knows him now but i'd say he's misunderstood in a lot of ways 

[lukezmijewski]

"it didn't rain all the time, but for one kid it rained too much"

[ZehraDimlioglu]

I'm here after I read Timothee Chalamet's interview with Harry Styles. Two absolutely adorable man rocked that interview.

[phoenixoflight]

I’ve been coming to this song for many, many years. I didn’t need any social icon to tell me that this is real music. I was brought here long ago by Cudi’s message.

[ninjaboy]

This is Cudi's greatest track. It brings me to tears every time, no shame in admitting it. It's like he's felt the pain I have, the loneliness, the hopelessness... But he inspires to rise above the sorrow and spread love and positivity.

Man this song hit me hard when I was in highschool.

I never like to show myself vulnerable but, I had no friends growing up. No lunch table took me sophmore year and I used to go to the library and hide my lunch in my backpack. Did not eat very often during that year. Then my mother found I had hid it and she could not understand why I was doing that. Never made sense to her and even now that I am older it still makes no sense. I used to look out the window of my bus and just imagine how shit my future was going to be. Fast forward to senior year and I skipped graduation just to send the biggest middle finger to my class. I remember my thoughts and what I was thinking about while on the bus. Imagining how shit life would be. I had no weed or drugs to help me deal with it because, ironically enough I never felt like I would lower myself that low to run away from problems. I literally engulfed myself in depression. I developed a mental problem where I felt everything was happening because, I was soing something wrong. I was drowning in depression, loneliness, doubts, anger, and the worst of all. Hopelessness. I do not know how I did it but I got out of the darkness and came out a new person.

Fast forward years now. I forgave all the old kids from my school and I am doing better emotionally, financially, and mentally than them. Now I have the chance to help them and I have. I have my own business and bought my dream car. I have my dream job. I have great people around me. My family life is doing way better.

For those of you out there it gets better. Remember there are people going through way worse and it is up to you to make sure even if they fail you carry the torch until the end as I did. I failed many times. I cried many times. I mentally blacked out many times. However, I kept holding the torch. Do not let it go. Keep moving up. You can not go forwards or backwards but up. Lift yourself out of the darkness. Come out a new person.
You will be crushed and grinded to almost dust. However, brush yourself off. For a diamond has been created.

[BoneGangsta]

A lot of respect goes out to Scott for his music. At least from me.

[rickymeza]

man kid Cudi knows how to touch music with soul

[gello]

I remember crying to this song in middle school, fast forward 10 years and im still crying to this song. This song makes me appreciate Cudi more because I learned this song was made before his first album ever. Cudder really was fighting his demons before the fame. Thank you for making REAL music for the people who go through REAL shit Scott. You will always be appreciated

[iGotGameDoU]

anyone else think this has a tupac sound to it

[IzadoraLee]

When all else fails..
Listen to Cudi.

[renielharshh]

Hey cudi, I’m in a very dark time of my life. The darkest of all, I’ve never felt so down before. This song cudi, it’s helping rn! I thank you for making this

[laynegammon]

Easily one of Cudi's most underrated songs

[mikeyw]

can't find this damn song on spotify and it is my fave KC song...

[nakkivenegladiaattori]

Came here after Timothée Chalamet said this would be the only song he's listen to if he'd have to choose one

[lesliesegura]

I remember listening to this song back in middle school, and all I'm reading in the comments are about this Timothy guy. Glad Cudi's old music is still getting the recognition it deserves. CUDLIFE!!!

[StromLxrd]

had to revisit this song; in a dark time in my life right now

[natedisme]

the #1 most real rapper not to be confused with the #1 loved rapper... he has his haters, but all of them are tasteless nobodies that don't recognize real greatness because he doesn't body ever song in deep bass talking about dope dealing and riding spinners etc... he talks about real life as he knows it and bodies it in eclectic and different sounds from many genres... he is a true artists who deserves everyone's respect.

[bremalaysia]

I remember when this song dropped. I was in high school. This song has helped me get through some hard times in life! And it still does til this day. ❤️

[MrGatorHater]

That second verse is hits me so deep. I lost my dad two years ago and that verse is the only thing that can really describe how it feels
