[01:08.90] Rain-drops keep falling on my brain
[01:12.24] Constant in the drop, all flames
[01:14.99] I'm so hot even if the weather change
[01:18.19] I don't have no top, i'm insane
[01:21.84] Remember darkskinned Jermaine?
[01:23.81] Swayed in the rain, im sorta kinda the same
[01:26.76] Except i'm no lame and you gonna know my name
[01:30.31] Before i go to work and feel my pain
[01:33.54] Saying, i'm a bad guy, why's that?
[01:36.57] Cause when my back's against the wall, nigga, i react
