(feat. Mo B. Dick)



[Chorus: Mia X & Mo B. Dick]

Sometimes I love the rainy days

So my mind and this pain can drift away

Sometimes I love the rainy days

So my mind and this pain can drift away

Sometimes I love the rainy days

So my mind and this pain can drift away

Sometimes I love the rainy days



[Mia X]

Tears from Heaven rain down and cleanse me

I'm out of control sometimes so much stuff's on my mind

I'm trying to find the right path to walk on

Maintain and be strong but I don't know how long

I can keep on, sleep on it

My partner said

And then nightmares of troubled times invade the space in my head

I'd rather be dead often than to deal with the pain and pressure

So let the rain fall and take it away all forever

But you can never be rid of troubled times

You can run away, try ot block it out but they gon' stay, stand firm

So we gotta learn how to deal with it

Look life in the eye be real with it (I'm trying)

I'm still getting bits and pieces of womanhood

Finally starting to realize that being grown ain't all good

I would rather be eight at my mom's place

Cuddled and sheltered from the pain

But for now I'ma leave it with the rain



[Chorus]



[Verse 2]

Please let it rain before my man comes home

Maybe he'll wanna talk and practice between my thighs

Instead of on my eyes, while my

I going throught this I keep asking myself

Does somebody really love you, taking blows at you

Controlling you, and do you really love yourself

I don't know, it's like I can't think for myself anymore

I'm looking at the door, Lord please give me the courage to step

And if I do will I regret the day I left

Is he the best thing to ever happen to me

And is it a minor flaw when he leaves scars after beating me

Or can it be my self-eteem left with the first bruise

Lord, will I ever be a victim on the evening news, I'm so confused

I've got more blues than B.B.

He keeps on pushing and hitting and shoving

And then claiming that he loves me

For life, trying to call me his wife

No rings of course

So can I give all this pain to the rain, let it pour



[Chorus]

Will I ever, ever, ever in my ruggedy life

Live in a happy home and be a happy man's wife

No cheating, no fights, connected to wealth

And proud to look in the mirror and love myself

I think not, my hand full of dreams is all I got

One wishing that the rain could make it all stop

Top it off more, all the exit doors are locked

Click, change up got my brain detained and stained

What am I to do, Lord please talk to me

This bottle of Valiums keeps calling me



[Thunder claps and rain falling]



And he spoke, gave a sister award of hope

I'm bout to take my life back for sho'

No more, waiting for things to happen for me

Heaven's tears got me seeing things clearly, I love the rain



[Chorus: with Mia X ad-libs] to fade]
