Rainy Days
Mary_J._Blige (feat._Ja_Rule) Lyrics

It's just those rainy days
The days when everything seems to be going wrong

Spend a lifetime tryin' to wash away
We spend all our lives trying to forget about the pain and hurt

Until the sun come out and shines again
Things will eventually get better, just wait for the good times to come back

Smile for me, smile for me
Stay positive and keep smiling through the hardships

We were always livin' so crazy and s*** and cool
We used to live our lives recklessly and without a care

And we began to love it (Began to love it)
We fell in love with the excitement and danger of that lifestyle

Watchin' all of the heartache and pain of the world
We watched the world suffer and didn't let it faze us

And thinkin' nothin' of it (Thinkin' nothin' of it)
We didn't think much of the pain around us and ignored it

And baby, I got love for you
I love you

And I know that you got me, baby
I know you love and support me

But every time the sun shines bright
Every time things are going well

It gets so cloudy
Something always seems to go wrong

Nobody loves the rain
No one likes when things go wrong

Can't stand it
It's unbearable

We know we've seen it before
We know we've been through tough times previously

Baby, handle it
Take care and don't let it break you

About chasin' those waterfalls, yeah
Don't chase after unrealistic ideals or dreams

Yea baby, sometimes the Rule don't mind the rain
Sometimes it's okay to face challenges and pain

It kinda feels like I'm drownin' in the Lords pain
Sometimes it feels like the pain is too much to bear

Until the sun comes out and shines again
Things will get better, have patience

Smile and give me reason to keep believin'
Hold onto hope and keep smiling even through tough times

That everything ain't misleadin'
There is genuine goodness in the world

And I, kiss the clouds on them rainy days
I try to find joy in life, even through struggles

And, smile for you when ya skys are gray
I try to be positive for the people I love even when I'm not feeling great

Babe, 'cuz I'm a tear drop away from cryin'
I'm barely holding it together and am close to breaking down

And a few shots away from dyin'
I'm struggling and need support to keep going

Dear Lord, would you shower my pain
I pray for relief from the hurt and struggles I face

Let it rain, let it rain on me
Let all the pain and hurt come so I can wash it away

While I cherish the air I breathe
I value my life and am thankful for the moments of happiness

I'm an angel, that can't soar, can't fly
I have potential, but something is holding me back

And I, mastered it Lord knows why
Despite the struggles and hardships, I keep going

I feel like an angel with my broken wings
I feel trapped and limited even though I have a great potential for success

So I can soar again, Lord let me in
I pray that I can find a way to succeed and overcome my struggles

Baby through all the passion the pain and the hurt
Even through all the challenges we face in our relationship

I feel like I'm fallin', yeah
I feel like things are not working out and I'm losing control

Makin' clothes for all of those that spread love
I want to create something to help spread love and positivity in the world

And for those who can't take it, stand up
I also want to support those who don't have the strength to stand up for themselves

Baby, we gonna make it
We will overcome these struggles and hardships together

In the words of Marvin Gaye
To quote Marvin Gaye

War is not the answer
Violence and conflict is not the solution to our problems

Know in your heart, that we are free
We have the power to choose our own destiny and make our own paths in life

Free to believe, whatever we feel
We are free to believe in what we want and follow our hearts

So feel somethin' real, baby, hey-ey
Follow your heart and find something that's truly meaningful to you

Smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
Keep smiling and stay positive even in tough times

Smile, smile, smile, smile
Smiling will help you feel better and keep going

Till the sun shines, just smile for me
Don't give up, keep smiling through the tough times

Just smile for me, just smile at me
Keep smiling for the people around you, we need each other's support
