[Intro: Ashanti & Irv Gotti]
Yeah (Yeaaa)
Murder Inc. (Murda Inc.)
We invite you to … something epic, y'all know? (Remix)
Where we make music out of a sense of hunger
Sort of a desire (Ashanti)
Through that desire, we expose the pain and struggle
That we accustomed to livin'(Heh heh heh)
So we feel without this music
We have nothing (Yeah)
So we offer you
Well … we offer you our lives
What do you bring to the table

[Verse 1: Ashanti]
See everybody wanna rise to the top these days (Top these days)
A lot of people might come and try to take your place (Take your place)
Oh you know that all you gotta do is keep rising (Rising)
Don't look back and keep shining (Shining) (What, what?)
I had a little struggle (What), I had a little pain (Uh)
Now make it rain, make it rain, make it rain

[Verse 2: Charli Baltimore]
Now I'm watching every nigga watchin' me closely (Uh)
He best know how I'm rollin' 'fore he approach me (What)
These bitches know they can't easily provoke me, and in any case to toast me
In arms' reach of the range upholstery, don't sleep
You'll never catch Chuck slippin' on nuttin' I'm spittin on
Flow longer than Scotty Pippen arms, rims I'm dippin on
Nothin' under 250 (25)
I'm flippin' songs like the spirit of Escobar with me
I gotta take this game once 'fore they forget me, but I reign swift and lane shift
Doin' a buck 60, fuck with me
Better livin', I'ma do my biddin' 'til they come get me
I ride even on empty, still built, don't let me bin me on me
God killin' me for my time
So I quit the high hours waitin' for me y'all and run with mine
Got ones and fives all day and it ain't from rappin'
Mines drivin', this is how I'm livin', I'm back scrabbin' 'cause

[Chorus: Ashanti]
Rain on me (Rain on me)
Lord, won't you take this (Pain from me?)
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
'Til you just (Rain on me)
Lord, won't you take this (Pain from me?)
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, yeah

[Verse 3: Ashanti]
I stop and think how life could be so raw (Be so raw)
Sometimes I just don't wanna fight no more (Fight no more)
Oh, you know just what I gotta do (Keep rising, rising)
Don't look back (And keep shining, shining)
I had a little struggle, I had a little pain
Now make it rain, make it rain, make it rain (Yeah)

[Verse 4: Hussein Fatal]
This is what it is when you step and fail
Sprawled out, 70 staples from neck to navel
When you mans flip the mobile, need a extra hater
Talkin' way over budget, dog, check the label
E.M.S. on the scene, rather sketch than save me
How you look to these electric cables, I'm Fatal, Fally the Don
Go get your bangers and tell me I'm wrong
And I'll bring rain to the pain in this song, nigga, it's on

[Chorus: Ashanti]
Rain on me (Rain on me)
Lord, won't you take this (Pain from me?)
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
'Til you just (Rain on me, rain on me)
Lord, won't you take this (Pain from me?)
And I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, yeah

[Verse 5: Ja Rule]
I'm incredible on my crime, niggas
Its been runnin' the rule for too long, I'm shinin', prove the world is mine
Just in the nick of time, rippin' a nickel nine
I flash back old bitches, tell 'em shit when we die
Keep 'em shivering, one shot to the liver is sending 'em
To the ER emergency, ICU surgery
But I been livin', livin' this life I was givin'
Prayin' to God in every religion
Lookin' to get acquitted
Open and shut case and murder's the crime
It rained pain and life, Christ rule was crucified
Pinned to the stake and while the whole world awaits me to die
I resurrected and reincarnate with blood in my eye
I'm torn between my love and my passion
And I'm tired of askin' questions that can't get answered
So I'ma rain on this industry, let's start smashin'
'Cause after the tears are gone, there's nothing but laughter
Lord ...

[Chorus: Ashanti]
Rain on me (Rain on me)
Lord, won't you take this (Pain from me?)
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
'Til you just (Rain on me, rain on me)
Lord, won't you take this (Pain from me?)
And I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, yeah

[Outro: Ashanti]
Rain down on me, ooh
Won't you take this pain from me?
Oh, won't you make it?
Rain down on me, ooh
Won't you take this pain from me?
Ba ba ba ba ba da da da da
