[Intro]
Ronny J, please turn me up

[Verse 1]
Ask 'em who I live on, way on somethin'
Take some, rain, nonstop, rain don't want war
Rain come, rain come
Come shine, come rain, come up
Southside, let it bang
Outside, let it rain
Rain down on a pain
Rain down on the slain
Rain down on my mom
Rain down on the farm
Flower us with your love
Wash us in the blood
High stomp for the thugs
I done spent it in the mud
Grew up life tryna love
And, uh, all my friends thugs
And that all my phones buzz
Everybody tryna thug
One up in the club
No choice to sell drugs
No choice, locked up
No choice, locked up
Rain down on us
Rain down on us

[Pre-Chorus]
Shower down on us
Wash us in the blood
Wash us in the blood
Whole life bein' thugs
No choice, sellin' drugs
Southside, what it does?
Rain down on us
Genocide what it does
Slavery what it does
Rain down on us
Whole life sellin' drugs

[Chorus]
Wash us in the blood
Wash us in Your blood
Wash us in the blood
Wash us in the blood
Wash us in the blood

[Bridge]
Holy Spirit, come down
Holy Spirit, come down
Holy Spirit, help now
Holy Spirit, help now
Holy Spirit, come down
Holy Spirit, come down
Holy Spirit, help now
Holy Spirit, help now

[Verse 2]
Wash us in the blood
Whole life bein' thugs
No choice, sellin' drugs
Genocide what it does
Mass incarc's what it does
Masses' carc' what it does
'Nother life bein' lost
Someone pop it from the cause
Execution, thirty states
Thirty states still execute
Thou shall not kill, thou shall not spill, blood in 'em with the residue
Lock you up in the federal
Take God out to better schools
Now look what we headed to
Now look what we headed to

[Chorus]
Rain down on us
Rain down on us
Wash us in the blood
Wash us in the blood
Holy Spirit, come down
Holy Spirit, come down
And they tryna control Ye
They want me to calm down

[Verse 3]
They don't want me to Kanye
They don't want Kanye to be Kanye
They wanna sign a fake Kanye
They tryna sign a calm Ye
That's right, I call 'em Calm-Ye
But don't take me the wrong way
'Cause God took me a long way
Everything you see is all me
They wanna edit the interviews
They wanna take it to interludes
Cut a whole sentence to interlude
You know that it's fake if it's in the news
So I let it fly when I'm in the booth
The devil a liar and I been the truth
Livin' 'cause nobody livin'
And nobody gettin' it, doin' it different

[Chorus]
Rain down on us
Holy Spirit, come down
Holy Spirit, come down
We need You now
Wash us in the blood
Whole life bein' thugs
No choice, sellin' drugs
Genocide what it does
Slavery what it does

The ubiquitous Kanye West—from his famous quip, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” to “I'ma let you finish,” to marrying Kim Kardashian, to announcing that he’s running for President, and admitting his love for President Trump—you can see that he’s a staple of the tabloids and the entertainment world, industry-wide.

That certainly doesn’t take anything away from his music; as a matter of fact, it only seems to add to his fortuitous career. For instance, his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was universally praised by fans and critics alike; it was recorded during the backlash he received from the Swift interruption and during his break-up with then-girlfriend Amber Rose.

He has scored other well-known hits, as well, from each of his previous studio albums—such as “Stronger,” “Heartless,” and “Gold Digger.” Each of his albums has been massive critical and commercial successes, including his collaboration album with JAY-Z, Watch the Throne. As of 2020, West has won an astounding 21 Grammys, tied with JAY-Z as the most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammy history.
