Dallas & Shyna/Trae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ever since I was a youngin I been livin in the streets
Keep it movin you don't wanna get it goin with me
I can get your whole family wiped out for less than a g
The og stands for organized general
Street educated and graduate into a criminal
I make it rain but I ain't talkin about money from the sky
I'm talkin bout everybody dyin
Zro is a one man team in the ghetto
Somthin somthin somthin I'm gettin green in the ghetto
A million dollars never still seen in the ghetto
A trrunk full of artilary ready to reach out and touch somebody
I'm insane in the membrane I don't have positive thoughts the only thing I can picture is f**kin up somebody
Walk like I'm red because I know I can
Ain't got a reason to fear it if its a man

The lyrics of Dallas & Shyna/Trae's song The Rain speak to the harsh realities of street life and the mindset of a gangster. The first verse sets the tone with the singer proclaiming himself as a gangster from head to toe, having grown up living in the streets. He warns others to stay out of his way, as he has the power to wipe out entire families for a small amount of money. He refers to himself as an "OG," which stands for an "organized general" who has street smarts and education, but ultimately graduates into a life of crime.
The second verse goes deeper into the rapper's mindset, stating that while he can make it rain with money, he is talking about making everybody die. He has aspirations of being the king of the ghetto, declaring himself a one-man team who is always getting green (money) in the ghetto. He talks about having a trunk full of weapons and being a trigger-happy individual who is ready to take down anyone. The lyrics show that the rapper has an intense desire to be feared and respected, as he portrays himself as a ruthless and violent individual. The last refrain, "Motherfuckers can you stand the rain," is an ominous warning to anyone who dares to cross him.
Overall, The Rain is a hard-hitting song that portrays the brutal nature of street life and the mindset of someone who has grown up in that environment. The lyrics are graphic and violent, but they serve as a stark reminder of the reality that some people face every day.
