[Verse 1]
First off, I know your situation but what is quitting gonna prove
Your heart was in the right place your head just made the wrong move
It's safe to assume that that's the world we all relate to
Somehow you gravitate to the ones who use and hate you
Still looking for a break through, felt like this is childhood
Not many people willing to listen to you but I would
It's natural to wish you had a friend that you could call up
Your life was rough I understand why you gotta Wall up
Because folks lie, anything you wanna hear they say it
They gain your trust only to turn around and betray it
And left permanent wounds on your heart but you managed
And at the end nobody helped you repair the damage
I wish I had the power to visit moments in time
And eliminate all painful events out of your mind
Because I'd do it in a second if that would make you whole again
Like you used to be before you let those dirty vultures in

[Hook]
If I was rain I'd wash away
Bad memories of sad yesterdays
I wish that I could be the wind
I'd blow away the pain within

[Verse 2]
You ask yourself why'd I fall victim to this evil
The fact is, bad things do happen to good people
And just to prove that I know how you feel to be exact
I'm a run you through the process cause I've been where you at
See first the problem hit, then people started to deny you
And Then it reached a point where you was asking God why you
But keep love inside you, we know you not an angel
It's good to get advice but only you can change you
You say yeah but it's painful, but that will soon disperse
Remember most things that give happiness come with pain first
Then the cries transform to rejoices in our voices
Let's benefit from not be the victims of our choices
Now take this mirror, look into it, see beyond the flesh
Call the greatness that's inside you out and let it manifest
What was done is in the past so quit trying to relive it
The only power that it has is the power that you give it
[Hook]
If I was rain I'd wash away
Bad memories of sad yesterdays
I wish that I could be the wind
I'd blow away the pain within

[Verse 3]
Don't get rattled no matter what rough road that you travel
Female or male emotional foundations are fragile
The mother who passed you to another after she had you
You can't expect to come away unscarred in life's battles
There's no contentment, only regret and resentment
For those who showed ill intents since you was an infant
Getting high will never last gotta try and let it pass
You need a mental cleansing just like a dianetics class
Now, how many people could of resisted that slight urge
If somebody could of got to them and spoke the right words
And it's clear now your problems won't just up and disappear now
And ain't no use in wishing you could switch it because you hear now
These young soldiers in the streets living fearless
And I'm a realist I know exactly what you trying to deal with
And that's the reason why these words are like a prayer session
For all the trauma I ask God to give them their blessings

[Hook]
If I was rain I'd wash away
Bad memories of sad yesterdays
I wish that I could be the wind
I'd blow away the pain within
