only you can stop the rain

“ Now I know only I can stop the rain

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Now I know only I can stop the rain

It's not that we gotta do what we do

It's what we know

So to me it ain't nothin' but bein' true, but

Now I know only I can stop the rain

It doesn't have to be the way it is, you say it is

Just because for the past 20 years every day it is (what?)

Now I know only I can stop the rain”

-DMX, The Rain

I haven’t listened to The Rain by DMX for years–probably since the year that the album it’s on was released.

This morning on the drive to drop Leo off at school, it started playing in a Spotify playlist, and as soon as the beat kicked in, I immediately remembered how much I liked the song back in the day.

And then DMX began rapping the first few lines, and I started listening a little more closely.

I’ve bolded the lines that jump out to me, for what I believe are obvious reasons, but I’ll let you decide.

Just remember…positive reinforcing messages are all around you if you’re open to receiving them.
​

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC
