- Rain love on me
Rain love on me
Open up your eyes and finally see
My grandma passed away at the top of last year
At the funeral drowning cause I couldn't hold back tears
But after all that's happened this past year
Part of me sees grace in the fact that she's not here
As a grandson this statement's a fact
No elderly should ever be victim of such a heinous attack
Prey on the weak only cowards would take advantage of that
No more staying meek it's time to take a stand and react
A simple trip to the market thought the streets were safe
Turned targets I speak up for my people's sake
From this pandemic I'm hopeful that we'll see escape
Until then love's the only vaccine for hate
Now when my folks leave the house it's quite the norm
My mind's flooded with thoughts of what might go wrong
Truthfully I wish I didnt have to write this song
But it's only right I recite it since this mic is on
What if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred
(Imagine that)
Stop the hatred
What if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred
(Could it be)
Stop the hatred
Rain love on me
He cold like Antarctica
It don't matter if you black and white says the man in the mirror
The squad's facing the terror
I'm talking mother father sister brother grandma and grandpapa
All doomed cause of skin color
Paranoid like my mind playing tricks on this ghetto boy
So I gotta scream for my mama like I'm George Floyd
Now I'm all in linen like John imagining
But he ain't give peace a chance he took 8 lives with him
Where the love go still unanswered
Politicians they be flipping Gabby Douglas
Divide so they can conquer then they chain our ancestors
Come together like the Beatles remastered
What if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred
(Imagine that)
Stop the hatred
What if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred
( Could it be)
Stop the hatred
Rain love on me
It's new footage every other day every bit of it hard to watch
I'm talking to my son he's eight listen to your pops
I said don't fall for the bait the actions of a few
Don't reflect the nature of an entire race
Maybe the past is full of lessons but we missed it
History shows indeed tension has existed
Between the two communities but here's a fact
Beyond colors were humans not just yellow or black
Like Chris Rock I ain't liberal or conservative inside
I just know the enemy would love to further the divide
Media don't care how the story is told
They're more concerned with how the story is sold
Preconceived notions make it harder to see together
There's much power Rush Hour look at Carter and Lee
Hopefully through dialogue we'll start to agree
More light for you doesn't make the world darker for me
Nuh uh
What if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred
(Imagine that)
Stop the hatred
What if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred
(Could it be)
Stop the hatred
Rain love on me
Rain love on me
Rain love on me
Open up your eyes and finally see
Rain love on me
Rain love on me
Open up your eyes and finally see
