The Rain
Lil Boosie & Lil Trill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lost my daddy at fourteen, I lost Trell at twelve, life in jail.
Ain't it funny how the money makes you separate the real and fake?
I started off small time victim of the game, a Monte Carlo to a Bentley and a diamond ring.
I got fame but mayne my whole world changed.
Some niggas left me in the rain, my girls changed, they changed on me!
I thought I got lucky, two hundred G's took my grandmother from me.
I hit my knees (Why lord?!) I tried syrup I tried weed I couldn't cope nigga.
Head down crying tears at the hospital.
A broken home, tried to get my hustle on nigga killed Lil Ivy my soul gone.
I bought my mama a house she cried instantly, all that shinin got my niggas in penitentiary!

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
I can clearly see the sunshine, but I'm steady walking through the rain!

[Lil Trill:]
Still got hatred in the city after all that we done
Did all the toy give always school clothes and things.
Even for Easter givin the kids bikes
And for that they ain't cryin up in Carroltyn now that ain't right.
We still smile though cause of the sunshine, wonder what I'll do if I could press rewind.
I done seen a lot half both sides of the field, the best of both worlds and yeah I'm for real.
Mama got seven kids with pops I stand alone.
I'm walking through the rain but still I move on, I just started so right now I'm far from done.
I keep moving on until I see the full sun.
Patiently waiting but the best is still yet to come,
I guess things happen for a reason when its said and done.
Say Lil B keep your head up just take it serious bra
Keep your faith in God cause he's the one who lay at us.

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

Diabetes steady eating my insides fucking my vision up I swear to God I feel like giving up.
Some times I'm laughin' with my money machine, but they trying to put me on dialysis machine.
I-v's in my arms, I know I'm doing wrong no insurance back to early can't long.
Being a daddy only thing that make me happy, I'm tired of getting sick same thing for young savage.
I try to do right and help my community police still kicking at my door Dirty motherfuckers.
You probably think I got the world at my hands, but really dog I got the world on my shoulders!
When I look at your son I see your face homie
(Lil Ivy) everybody pray for me cause they hating on me.
Wish I could take it all back sometimes, truth is I don't even like to rap sometimes.





[Chorus:Repeat x2]

Overall Meaning

The song "The Rain" by Lil Boosie and Lil Trill can be interpreted as a story of adversity, loss, and the struggle to keep moving forward. The lyrics paint a picture of a life filled with pain and hardship, from losing loved ones at a young age to dealing with health issues and police harassment. The chorus repeats the phrase "I can clearly see the sunshine, but I'm steady walking through the rain," highlighting the idea that even though there are moments of hope and happiness, there is always something or someone trying to bring them down.


One of the key themes in the song is the idea that money and fame can change people and cause them to act selfishly or abandon those who have been there for them through tough times. Lil Boosie describes how he started off as a small-time player in the game, but as he gained success, friends and even family members betrayed him and left him to face his struggles alone. The line "all that shinin got my niggas in penitentiary" suggests that the wealth and status he gained also ultimately led to the downfall of some of his closest associates.


Another important theme is the power of faith and resilience in the face of adversity. Despite all the challenges they've faced, Lil Boosie and Lil Trill continue to hold on to their faith in God and their hope for a better future. Lil Trill talks about "patiently waiting" for things to turn around, and how he's "walking through the rain but still I move on." In the end, they both seem determined to keep fighting, even if it means enduring more hardships along the way.
