I don't smoke weed or snort cocaine, but I like to talk about that Philly Rain. O I like to talk about that Philly Rain. Sometimes it eases the pain. I don't smoke weed or snort cocaine, but, I like to talk about that Philly Rain about that Philly Rain, O I like to talk about that Philly Rain. Sometimes it eases the pain. Yeah Yeah!
When I feel the rain. I feel the pain from all the Mothers who cried until their blouses were stained. As they watched their children look out the windowpane for a father that never came.
When I feel the rain. I feel the pain from all the fathers, that are depressed, dealing with a vindictive baby mom, family court, child support, only adds on to the stress. So, they remove themselves from the situation and pray for the best, but any Man that doesn't spend quality time with their children makes them Fatherless.

When I feel the rain, I become impatient with the lack of dedication from this younger generation and the teenage rate of the male incarnation.
When you walk inside a person's living room and look at the pictures on the mantle. In most cases the father is missing. How does this happen? Let me give you an example.
When the Father isn't present inside the delivery room, endless pain is what the Mother consumes. He calls every day to say I won't be home until May or June but visits up the prison start at noon. Can you bring my baby up soon. So, we can take a picture inside the visitor's room.
Single Women are faced with rent daycare and utility bills. If they're young they may go to school at night to develop a career or skill. The ones that do have a strong will. The ones that don't, the spirit gets killed.
How can a single mother raising a child stay above water in a house, if every room has a leak and the foundation was built on a creek?
So, as her house drowns so does the education and family values that were never past down. It doesn't take a village to raise a child. Just a father now!
