[Chorus: Styles P & Jadakiss]
They say life's✦ a bitch, nigga✦
Real niggas✦ love bitches✦ though
Misery✦ loves✦ company✦
Yeah, well fuck it nigga✦ I'm miserable✦
They say when it rains it pours (rain)
They say when it rains it pours (rain, rain, rain...)
[Verse 2: Nas]
I'm the president of this veteran sport
Make it feel chill like you need your Pelle back on
I'm cosmic, I'm full storm from the projects
Yeah, it's in the air, you ain't gotta✦ tell 'em who Nas is
Skies is red, winds is 7 miles✦ per hour, light showers
Visibility clearly, no one real as me, cowards
Never✦ speak to cops, only✦ speak to attorneys
Had to leave the block, took the whole hood on my journey
Hear these niggas✦ talking,✦ who they talking✦ to?
I ascended from Heaven,✦ I can walk on the Moon
Everybody's✦ a killer,✦ guess everybody's✦ a goon
Not every✦ don is a don 'til a don walk in the room
Right? State of emergency✦
Autumn leaves,✦ Mother✦ Nature,✦ feel the urgency✦
The reign, I rain hot spring
Nueva✦ York, they throw salt
Kama✦ sutra✦ in female✦ thoughts, I'm stalked
So I pray like it's Jumu'ah,✦ it rains...
[Chorus: Styles P & Jadakiss]
They say life's✦ a bitch, nigga✦
Real niggas✦ love bitches✦ though
Misery✦ loves✦ company✦
Yeah, well fuck it nigga✦ I'm miserable✦
They say when it rains it pours (rain)
They say when it rains it pours (rain, rain, rain...)
[Verse 3: Jadakiss]
Yo, when you on top of the world, the game is yours
And your dope is uncut,✦ your 'caine is pure
And the problems start coming,✦ it rains, it pours
And your money✦ is not long enough✦ to change the laws
'Cause you figured everything'll be done in one night
All you want is the shine, but the Sun is on strike (damn)
The cash comes✦ in then the love stops (over)✦
Ice in the bezel,✦ that's a flood watch
Heavy✦ precipitation✦ (uh)
There's✦ nothing you can do that could better✦ the situation✦
They say it ain't safe to drive in (nah)
It's on you how you go about✦ surviving
In the rain, nigga✦
[Chorus: Styles P & Jadakiss]
They say life's✦ a bitch, nigga✦
Real niggas✦ love bitches✦ though
Misery✦ loves✦ company✦
Yeah, well fuck it nigga✦ I'm miserable✦
They say when it rains it pours (rain)
They say when it rains it pours (rain, rain, rain...)
(Rain, rain, rain, rain...)

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"The reign, I rain hot spring"

① A play on 'reign' as an monarchical ruler's period of power.② A play on 'rain' as precipitation, characterizing his lyrical output as relentless and elemental.

"Not every don is a don 'til a don walk in the room"

① A commentary on the self-proclaimed status of street figures.② The realization of true hierarchy when an authentic leader (the Don) arrives to invalidate pretenders.

Masterful control of internal rhyme density.

Commanding, authoritative vocal presence consistent with era expectations.

Coherent thematic bridge between personal status and meteorological metaphor.

Occasional reliance on standard street tropes which lack the innovation of his peak abstract writing.

The concluding imagery, while evocative, feels slightly disconnected from the earlier cosmic motif.
