Pouring Rain

He never knew his father, the only home he had was the block
 Crack in the sock, just a rebel with a hand full of rocks
 Cadillac on D's, like Pamela Anderson's top
 Had to have a knot to fill a void from not having a pops
 See, his old man was a dope head, never had J's, just PRO-Keds
 Mother worked all kind of jobs, broke her back tryna provide
 But the local smack dealers outside who he idolized
 When they bang, the disciple signs light up the night like fireflies
 He wanna be them
 So he gotta be in, anything to numb the pain
 Only twelve, serving fiends, soaking in the pouring rain
 And I hope that we can face this together
 Any city, every weather
 In the line and in the pouring rain, in the pouring rain, oh
 And I hope that we can face this together
 Any city, every weather
 In the line and in the pouring rain, in the pouring rain, oh
 He never knew his son, how to be a man and teach it to his son
 He ain't have a father, that shit come back like karma
 He ain't have a job or income tax, he barely knew his mama
 She was sixteen when her water broke
 Tryna get a starter coat, not start a family
 He never had a plan or a plan B
 He was sent overseas to fight Afghanis
 And came home addicted to the candy
 How could you champion a child
 When you trampled to the ground?
 Gotta have it, you can't navigate around with a GPS
 He seen a shorty standing at the CVS
 He knew he had work, he seen it in his eye like CBS
 He walked up to him, shorty said, "What you want?"
 That's when he realized he was buying crack from his own son
