[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...)

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AAAA/BBBB rhyme chains with heavy use of internal multisyllabics (e.g., 'veteran sport'/'Pelle back on' and 'projects'/'Nas is') that bridge the line gaps.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I'm full storm from the projects"

① A literal weather disturbance originating from low-income housing.② A metaphor for the destructive, powerful influence Nas exerts, coming from his specific upbringing.

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

① A test of status where a leader is only confirmed when they enter the space and are acknowledged.② A challenge to false credibility; true authority is innate and recognized by others only upon presence.

"The reign, I rain hot spring"

① His period of dominance (reign) and the act of falling water (rain).② The seasonal transition from winter to spring, positioning his arrival as a refreshing yet intense cycle of rebirth.

Expert integration of external themes into internal rhyme patterns

Commanding vocal presence that elevates the sparse beat

Sophisticated use of seasonal and elemental motifs

Some metaphors rely heavily on wordplay that requires specific cultural context for non-core listeners

The pacing occasionally rushes the rhythmic pocket during high-density rhyme sections
