Can’t Hear God in the Rain

(Hook)
I can’t hear God in the rain,
All I feel’s the thunder in my veins.
Tryna wash away my name,
But the storm know every pain.
(Verse 1)
Had to learn how to pray through the static,
‘Cause the world got loud and my past got graphic.
Told my brother I’d change, then I backslid tragic,
Now I bleed through the bars and the beat feel magic.
I done cried in the whip with a .45 near me,
Felt more love in a loss than the ones that cheer me.
Devil knockin’ at the door, but I’m still standin’,
I just sing like I’m free though my soul been stranded.
(Hook)
I can’t hear God in the rain,
All I feel’s the thunder in my veins.
Tryna wash away my name,
But the storm know every pain.
(Verse 2)
I seen mamas go numb when the sirens came,
Tried to write ‘bout joy but it felt like shame.
I was tryna save love, it was never the same,
Now I save every tear and I pour it in flame.
(Higher register / falsetto lift)
And these songs be my prayer when the sky get dark,
I don’t sing for applause, I just sing from the scars.
They say fame gon’ change you — maybe that’s true,
But pain made me first, so it’s pain I pursue.
(Bridge)
Even in the flood, I still float,
Even in the loss, I still hope…
Even when my hands let go,
My voice still hold me close…
(Final Hook)
I can’t hear God in the rain,
All I feel’s the thunder in my veins.
Tryna wash away my name,
But the storm know every pain…
