Lyrics
Rain love on me Rain love on me Open up your eyes and finally see My grandma passed away at the top of last year (Last year) At the funeral drowning 'cause I couldn't hold back tears (Ooh) But after all that's happened this past year Part of me sees grace in the fact that she's not here As a grandson, this statement's a fact No elderly should ever be victim of such a heinous attack Prey on the weak; only cowards would take advantage of that No more staying meek, it's time to take a stand and react (Stand and react) A simple trip to the market, thought the streets were safe Turned targets, I speak up for my people's sake From this pandemic, I'm hopeful that we'll see escape Until then, love's the only vaccine for hate (Vaccine for hate) Now when my folks leave the house, it's quite the norm (Ooh) My mind's flooded with thoughts of what might go wrong Truthfully, I wish I didn't have to write this song But it's only right I recite it since this mic is on What if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred? (Imagine that) Stop the hatred What if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred? (Could it be?) Stop the hatred Rain love on me Uhh, he cold like Antarctica It don't matter if you black and white, says the man in the mirror The squad's facing the terror I'm talking mother, father, sister, brother, grandma, and grandpapa All doomed 'cause of skin color Paranoid like my mind playing tricks on this ghetto boy So I gotta scream for my mama like I'm George Floyd Now I'm all in linen like John imagining But he ain't give peace a chance he took eight lives with him Where the love go still unanswered Politicians, they be flipping Gabby Douglas Divide so they can conquer then they chain our ancestors Come together like the Beatles remastered What if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred? (Imagine that) Stop the hatred What if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred? (Could it be?) Stop the hatred Rain love on me It's new footage every other day, every bit of it hard to watch I'm talking to my son, he's eight—listen to your pops I said don't fall for the bait; the actions of a few Don't reflect the nature of an entire race (Entire race) Maybe the past is full of lessons but we missed it History shows, indeed, tension has existed (Ooh) Between the two communities, but here's a fact Beyond colors, we're humans, not just yellow or black Like Chris Rock, I ain't liberal or conservative inside I just know the enemy would love to further the divide Media don't care how the story is told They're more concerned with how the story is sold (Sold) Preconceived notions make it harder to see Together there's much power Rush Hour, look at Carter and Lee (Carter and Lee) Hopefully, through dialogue we'll start to agree More light for you doesn't make the world darker for me Nuh-uh What if we went a little bit out of our way to stop the hatred? (Imagine that) Stop the hatred What if we took a little time out of our day to stop the hatred? (Could it be?) Stop the hatred Rain love on me Rain love on me (Rain) Rain love on me Open up your eyes and finally see Open up your eyes and finally see Rain love on me (Rain love on me) Rain love on me Open up your eyes and finally see I want you to say exactly what's on your heart right now, say it Stop the hatred *Cheering* Say it one more time, Chance Stop the hatred *Cheering*
