The Rain
Missy Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me, I'm supa fly, supa dupa fly
Supa dupa fly (I can't stand the rain)
Me, I'm supa fly (against my window)
Supa dupa fly, supa dupa fly (I can't stand the rain)
Me, I'm supa fly (against my window)
Supa dupa fly, supa dupa fly (I, I can't stand the rain)
When the rain hits my window
I take a-, me some indo
Me and Timbaland, ooh, we sang a jangle
We so tight, that you get our styles tangled
Sway on dosie-do like you loco
Can we get kinky tonight?
Like Coko, so-so
You wanna play with my yo-yo (uh-huh)
I smoke my hydro on the d-low (d-d-d-d-d-low)
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I, I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Yeah
Beep beep, who got the keys to the Jeep? Vroom
I'm driving to the beach
Top down, loud sounds, see my peeps
Give them pounds, now look who it be (who it be?)
It be me, me, me and Timothy
Look like it's 'bout to rain, what a shame
I got the Armor-All to shine up the 'Stang
Oh, Missy, try to maintain
Flicky-flicky-flicky-flicky-flicky-flicky
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I, I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
I feel the wind
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten (nine, ten)
Begin, I sit on hills like Lauryn
Until the rain starts, coming down, pouring
Chill, I got my umbrella
My finger waves be dazed, they fall like Humpty
Chumpy, I break up with him before he dump me (dump me)
To have me, yes, you lucky (yes, you lucky)
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I, I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I, I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
The song "The Rain" by Missy Elliott is a mix of rap and R&B with original production by Timbaland. The first verse describes Missy as "supa fly, supa dupa fly" - this self-description is her bragging about her confidence and style. She then repeats "I can't stand the rain against my window" in the chorus, showing her disdain for adverse weather conditions. In the second verse, Missy talks about driving with her friends and mentions that it "looks like it's 'bout to rain, what a shame," further emphasizing her dislike of rain. However, she then goes on to mention that she has an umbrella, showing that she is prepared for the weather.
The final verse includes a reference to Lauryn Hill, noting that Missy likes to sit on hills like Lauryn. She again mentions the rain, but says that she has an umbrella to protect herself. In the outro, she reiterates her hatred for the rain in a repetitive, almost chant-like way.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a celebration of personal style and confidence, while also expressing a dislike for something as seemingly mundane as rainy weather.
