Let It Rain
Naná Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The reminants of my history still hits hard at me
Forever strapped, we are trapped
Flees everywhere keeping us strapped to their reins
We look up, hoping for a Moses to liberate us
To put an end to their reign
the birth of a new king
Holes drilled, perforates my skin
Is like a tatt on my brain, makes me refrain from reaching out Cos am still in pain still caught up in a triangle
I switched the narratives up every angle
Looking for a route out of this God forsaken jungle
But everywhere I go I see road blocks
Through it all I still see hope
We almost there not too far from the throne
Can't wait to throw on my robe
God let it rain!!!
The lyrics in "Let it Rain" by Nana feat. Mariah focuses on the struggling life of the artist and how he carved success for himself amidst all the odds. He talks about how he wakes up with sleep in his eyes and feels bad that no one cares about a black brother. The only person who cares about him is his mother, with whom he speaks every day even though she passed away 10 years ago due to brain cancer. He mentions how 1997 was an important year for him when he started rolling with his family's Booya music. He mentions that he tries to run away from the pain every day and wants it to go away. He finds solace by believing that his pain will wash away like rain from the sky. He also talks about the struggles of figuring out who he should blame for his suffering and mentions how like a window needs a frame and sugar needs the cane, a baby needs a name.
Furthermore, Nana talks about how at 2:35 in the night, he struggles to sleep with sheets full of sweat, but he keeps hustling as he believes in God, who will release him from his pain. He asserts that one can only succeed in life by being blessed and freeing their mind from head to toe. He encourages everyone to express themselves and never lose hope because nature gives and takes without any fuss, as everything eventually turns into ashes and dust.
Overall, "Let it Rain" is an inspirational song that reminds us to never lose faith in ourselves and keep hustling towards our goals, despite all the obstacles and hardships.
