[Bridge: dEnAun]
I don't always✦ get my share of roses✦
For me, sunny✦ days are always✦ comin',✦ goin'
I know we all got our share of trials and tribulations,✦ yeah
But I done rode for some of y'all
When you ain't even✦ have a ride yourself
So tell me why I'm walkin',✦ walkin',✦ walkin'?✦
[Chorus: DMX & dEnAun]
Huh, walkin'✦ in the rain
Walkin',✦ walkin',✦ walkin'✦
Huh, walkin'✦ in the rain
Walkin',✦ walkin',✦ walkin'✦
Huh, walkin'✦ in the rain
Walkin',✦ walkin',✦ walkin'✦
Huh, walkin'✦ in the, rrr (Walkin')✦
[Verse 2: Nas]
We in the new dark ages✦
We reject who we really✦ are, adaptation✦
Accept no cheap imitations✦
I am the streets meet civilization,✦ police✦ precinct 114 chased✦ him
Who should be held accountable
For the hell I encountered just explorin' the town I knew?
You pray a predator choose, I fared✦ better✦ than many✦
Y'all fear some career✦ gun-slangin' youngsters
Coulda✦ went to war, probably wouldn't have overcome it
I coulda✦ been still bitter✦ now, 'cause there's✦ no middle ground
Locked✦ up juveniles make grown men doubt
Made me wanna✦ get myself knocked in jail just to get you inside✦
Can't even✦ wait 'til you get out to air you out
As a teen, it's just a few things I cared✦ about✦
Facts, I made it, impact behavior like the eternal flame
In Martin✦ Luther's grave, yeah, gotta✦ keep burnin',✦ unabated
Turn a man to a millionaire
Just to tell you how good that my day went
My life should be an Ava✦ DuVernay flick
Denzel plays a younger Nas with some CGI
If you rock with your day ones,✦ bless
If you do not, don't let it stress
There's✦ friends I only✦ see once a year
Nothing changed, love is there
Some brothers you outgrow, you leave 'em there, yeah
[Chorus: DMX & dEnAun]
Huh, walkin'✦ in the rain
Walkin',✦ walkin',✦ walkin'✦
Huh, walkin'✦ in the rain
Walkin',✦ walkin',✦ walkin'✦
Huh, walkin'✦ in the, rrr
Walkin',✦ walkin',✦ walkin'✦
[Outro: DMX & Exodus Simmons]
Walkin'✦ in the rain
Walkin'✦ in the rain
Walkin'✦ in the rain
Walkin'✦ in the rain
