[Verse 1: Common]
I spit feelings that soar over brick buildings
And get children and families to live better
Live whether rain or shine
Picture Com' free, is my frame of mind
My day combines from comedic to the gate of minds
Tastin' my favorite wine, trying to stay divine
Realness around my neck, is my way to shine
I ain't made for time or age
My mind's a page that few can read
Made for you to breathe through the seeds I plant
Tear down Babylon, rebel missions
The hustler traditions carry on since Avalon Park days
I battle long and spark days
Being the son that I am, got gramps offered ham for lint
She gave me the scriptures, told me to understand it
It's bug from my own planet I can see the sun
Waitin for the savior while I wait for me to come
I'm comin in the...

[Chorus: Joi]
Rain, rain, go away
I need ya sometime but not today
I wanna live, play, run, in the sun

Rain, rain, go away
I need ya sometime but not today
I wanna live, play, run, in the sun
