See him driving round all around this town And you’re wondering how you ever gonna find a way, find a way not to have to live for tomorrow just enjoy the day, day Not to have to strive for a dollar struggle for the pay, pay And enjoy the rain Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain From AdMo to Georgetown and maybe Barry Farms Life is short to be driving this long From DuPont to Fairfax back to nat’s mall Pray I can say thank God for the rain The unexamined life is not worth living 12 hours of work and he just want to sleep No poets here speaking we don’t follow Socrates Sticker on the dash of my father’s taxi as he drives Every night and every day Damn! every night racks his brain F*ck! he has no time to complain Who he got a slap just to get some better pay He comes home to aches in his back feeling sore He really hates the idea of living so poor But he gotta keep it up 'cause he’s a father of four He wonders when God picked his life, was he sure? From PG to uptown and maybe Southeast He drives his passengers to spots that they need From Southwest to Trinidad more routes than a train Any destination less the sky turns gray Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain From AdMo to Georgetown and maybe Barry Farms Life is short to be driving this long From DuPont to Fairfax back to nat’s mall Pray I can say thank God for the rain He drives hookers hustlers kids and dumb teens Bammas brokers lawyers and immigrants G Fresh off the boat, he came here with a dream To earn millions but this life won't squeeze A simple c-note his slot machine, uh Got no casino he honks and he screams When he stuck on I-95 in a traffic jam I couldn’t feel his anger till I turn 23 So I write this shit for my pops (Pops!) On his lunch break eating in that parking lot (Lot!) When I was 17 he made my life a living hell (Hell!) But little did I know the same tales would help me sell (Oh!) My pain down the block of NorthWest U St Brooklyn, Chinatown, and spots in NYC I wonder if he knows how determined I’m to blow Till he hears his son’s song playing on the radio singing Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain From AdMo to Georgetown and maybe Barry Farms Life is short to be driving this long From DuPont to Fairfax back to nat’s mall Pray I can say thank God for the rain Ugh! thank god for the rain, thank God for the rain Thank God for the rain, thank God for the rain From AdMo to Georgetown and maybe Barry Farms Life is short to be driving this long From DuPont to Fairfax back to nat’s mall Pray I can say thank God for the rain
