[Intro: Inspectah Deck]
Rain on snow
INS, Your Highness
Rain on snow
DJ Shadow, what's good?
Makes it melt
You all ready?
Away
[Verse 1: Inspectah Deck]
Yo, White Walker style now, winter is coming
We living trapped in the storm like fish in a bucket
My vision is blurry, drop a load, zip in a hurry
Seen the dreams of blue skies then you hit the flurry
Where it's hot shells and cold hearts who love pain
Let it rain just to wash away the blood stains
Money, money, sex, murder, that's the drug game
And every day the same song like nothing changed
But I came with the shovel
Whether it's to chop up snow or if I gotta throw dirt on some trouble
I'm working a double, I tripled the price
Never slipping even on six inches of ice
Stay equipped when the temperature dipped, hold your weight
Cause the cold's known to leave folks frozen in place
Stay warm, sipping Henny 'til the pain is gone
And now I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
The rain is gone, the rain is gone, the rain is gone
[Chorus]
Rain on snow
Rain on snow
Makes it melt
Away
[Verse 2: Ghostface Killah]
Tony Starks, yo, yo, yo, yeah
When it rains, it pours, enough that it drenched the floors
Evaporated by these clouds created to give you more
But these snowflakes fall in all sizes and shapes
Exquisite designs, they cover alpines and lakes
Whether the flurry or drizzle
Two below, weather so cold, fake agents won't bust their pistol
Even the ref won't blow a whistle
North Korea won't blow a missile, my frozen word to the bone gristle
Snow turns to slush, slush turns to ice
Front on my fam, we take turns on taking your life
Paying the price is a must, depends on the air stream
The current, that wicked wind that blows is God-fearing
That means we cut up a savage and break vegetarians, airing 'em
They try to come back, we daring 'em
Brain matter splattered all on the roof like planetariums
Me and Shadow couldn't wrap up like a cesarean
Like a cesarean, like a cesarean, like a cesarean
[Chorus: Raekwon]
Rain on snow
Rain on snow (Yeah)
Makes it melt (Uh-huh, yeah)
Away
[Verse 3: Raekwon]
From ancient Shaolin to Malaysia
Flow is awfully cold, I own a globe but my stones is glaciers
With three-fourths water I slaughter
What a great day to rain, it's pouring out, my drip's imported
No snow in the bezzle just medals
I flow through Bali and Denalis, from east Africa tribal on my nose
We arsonists, we servers in golashes
My shooter do washers, get your ballad head, bring thunder to homes
It's on definite when death will hit, the glow is just effortless
'Cause when I prep for this, it's excellence
Check out the drones, high as the mountains in Everest
Check the aerial view, you see the best of this like Tesla's chest in it
Collapsar, rub my nostril, posture is radioing a jostler
My bodyguard a black Kevin Costner
Your audience is just corniness, we the beacon in the Gardens of Eden
Word to Vegas, we move prestigious
We move prestigious, we move prestigious, we move prestigious
[Chorus]
Rain on snow
Rain on snow
Makes it melts
Away
Rain on snow
INS, Your Highness
Rain on snow
DJ Shadow, what's good?
Makes it melt
You all ready?
