Crying in the RainWhitesnake

Songwriter: David Coverdale

Producer: Martin Birch

On “Gangstas,” Pop Smoke affirms his authenticity in the streets, rapping about his deadly crew from New York and staying strapped in case someone messes with him. The song appears to take shots at fellow New York rapper 6ix9ine, who’s known for his “rainbow-colored hair” and “loud” rapping as Pop notes in the song’s intro. In an August 2019 interview with Real 92.3, Pop commented on 6ix9ine’s street cred and how he was pushed by other people into portraying someone he wasn’t: Read more on Last.fm.

A black cat moans
When he's burning with a fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy
With the thoughts of retribution
But a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming
Dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry
The sun is shining
Ooh, but it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're cryin' in the rain
When you're cryin' in the rain
Cryin' in the rain
I can never deny
All the sweet things I've tasted
Though I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more, more, more
I know where I'm going
There's no hope for absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad
The sun is shining
Ooh baby, it's still raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're cryin' in the rain
When you're cryin' in the rain
When you're cryin' in the rain
When you're cryin' in the rain
No, no, no!
The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart
No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
No one ever sees the tears
When you're cryin' in the rain
When you're cryin' in the rain
When you're cryin' in the rain
When you're cryin' in the rain
Cryin' in the rain
Cryin' in the rain

Whitesnake

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
