You could try to hate, classify and make your rate down
But I’m here to elevate, I’ll be floating in outer space now
I see you on the streets and you just pass me by
But it’s never enough when you felt the touch
But let me tell you
When the sun comes up
And rain comes down on this side of town
Will you always steal my fire?
You always steal the fire
I don’t need a check, I need some respect, so people you know
And the car and the house and the rings and the things
That don’t mean nothing
You’re never around
And the war and the babies crying
They just, they just
When the rain comes down
And rain comes down on this side of town
But people have no feelings
Of an angel that’s rocking your soul
They just run around
You think I got no feelings, think I’m living high
When the rain comes down
But when the sun comes up
We keep chasing dollars, it’s making me holler, I just don’t know
I could be on the TV, I could be in their magazines
Will you be around?
