In the Rain (Wise) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
I think it happened on a Saturday
I heard the phone ring
Vling, vling, vling, vling, vling
Who this? Ron?
Yo, Wise got killed last night by the tracks
It was the same Ohio niggas teamed up
Sent 'em back, we shoulda drilled a long time ago
We went disaccordin, now we owe
The devil slid through, without an intro
Yo Ron, it can't be!
Wise guest-starring me!!
Can it be, we both got hit
God legendary!
He a General, he survived Adolf
Hard to even picture god eaten by gray dogs
He stated his word
And he solemnly sweared to tell the truth
That his bond was like pure addict, pure roof
Wise God Allah, warrior
XY chromosome, sat heavy on the throne
Touched something for ya
Ya Steubenville niggas fucked up
Because bitches is talking
They live at, I'm twisting your alley back
You killed my man
You killed my man and you sent him back
After this day, watch your head
Slugs flying everywhere
You smell havoc in the air
You can never get the god emphatically
Now Cipher
You've been vibin' off the same battery
We had, back in '91 that got you hyper
God been beautiful, god been great
God fed you, you'd die if he survived that take
You killed your king
Rakeem Allah gave him his light
He was your offspring
Camouflaged all day with green
One righteous man fought for his right, gods pupil
Yo, that's my fam, he snatch me out of big head van
We taught you how to get game, from sayin' "peace god"
Islamic translates Allah's tounge, spit the language art
Alex Haley thoughts, identical twin
My A-Alike gasmate, the hay grows
The days close, hide your lobe!
[Verse 2: The Dramatics]
Once the sun comes out and the rain is gone away
I know I'm gonna see, a better day
I know I think I'm crying, becouse of you
I'm crying, don't want you to see me cry
Love you Wise, love you Wise, love you Wise!

***Chorus
I wanna go outside, in the rain...
It may sound crazy, it may sound crazy
But I wanna go outside, in the rain...

I wrote this next song for Wise…That’s my brother right there…My brother just got shot. I was down in Miami. One night, I went outside to the beach with a box. I was the only one out there at the time. I threw on the Dramatics’ ‘In The Rain.’ I took a couple of pulls off weed n’ shit. It started raining – and the song is called ‘In The Rain.’ It was like a coincidence on how the shit was going down. I started catching the rhyme. First line, second line. And the more I wrote, the more it rained. But I was like, fuck it, because there was an energy that just kept me there. A force, knawmean? Every time I wrote a line and then thought I might change it, it would rain harder, like it was saying, “‘Don’t touch nothing.’ So I’d keep it. I was out there for four or five hours. And you know how big the beach is. I looked out at the water, and it was just mad dark. And I’m on the sand. And I’m writing about Wise. So, you know, I started crying a little bit. As the tears was coming down, something said, ‘Turn to the right.’ I looked over, and there was a pyramid built in the sand. Outta nowhere. The music was still going. I got up, walked around the pyramid three times. Said, ‘All praise due Allah.’ Couple of tears come out again. But it was all good. Because I was there. Y’know? And I was free.”
