In "RAIN," Bugzy Malone turns weather into the weight of depression, family betrayal, and survival. Heavy thoughts gather like clouds, temper flashes as lightning, and rain pours as sadness that never lets up. He moves from feeling lost and low to remembering past hardship, homelessness, and violence, yet still finds energy when lightning reminds him he never gave up. The repeated chorus becomes a mantra for enduring hard seasons, and the final admission that all of these are metaphors makes the emotional weather plain.
RAIN Lyrics by Bugzy Malone
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
And on the days it falls
Down da da down da da down da da down
Down da da down da da down da da down
When it rains it pours
And when it rains it pours
And when it rains it pours
Sometimes it feels like I don’t know where I’m going when I’m feeling kind of low
I have to focus on my goals and if I look back for long enough I see a ghost
But it’s the members of your family, they’re the ones you never chose and I don’t hold grudges but when I check the numbers I just can’t afford to fund the disrespect
It’s on my budget and there’s no justice, just hell of violations
Had to pick up the pace and switch up my vibration
Feels like there’s a dark cloud on me and it’s been raining heavy
I’ve been thinking deep and there’s nobody on my wavelength
I never made a move unless it made sense
Stealing just to pay rent but that’s the weather
Just bring an umbrella
I’ve been singing in the rain but let me say this acapella
When it rains it pours
You can have the strangest thoughts
But you have to pull yourself together
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
And on the days it falls
Down da da down da da down da da down
Down da da down da da down da da down
When it rains it pours
And when it rains it pours
And when it rains it pours
Look, and shorty you can relax
It’s nothing new to us
Having nowhere to stay, not knowing who to trust
Putting food on the plate, we had to earn a crust
I seen a look on his face, I know what murder does
I seen sorrow deep till a man’s hollow
Tear through a man’s heart and just eat through his bone marrow
Yeah, I seen lightning strike till a man’s sparrow
Knowing his own shadow, boy, ’cause the road’s narrow
I’ve been on my back waiting for the storm to pass
Seconds slipping by like it’s the sand of an hourglass
I stagger to my knees trying to find the energy
It’s like I’m locked out and I’m just trying to find a set of keys
See when the lightning strikes that got me up ’cause that reminded me I really never gave a fuck
Anytime I hit the ground and I just felt like giving up I remember not to panic ’cause that’s what the weather does
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
And on the days it falls
Down da da down da da down da da down
Down da da down da da down da da down
When it rains it pours
And when it rains it pours
And when it rains it pours
All of these are metaphors
Clouds are like them heavy thoughts, lightnings when you lose your temper
All of these are metaphors
Funny what the weather does
Rain is like depression
All of these are metaphors
Clouds are like them heavy thoughts, lightnings when you lose your temper
All of these are metaphors
Funny what the weather does
Rain is like depression
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
And on the days it falls
Down da da down da da down da da down
Down da da down da da down da da down
When it rains it pours
And when it rains it pours
And when it rains it pours
