Now you famous, but guess what? You can't go outside You can't walk outside, with your girl in the rain You can't walk outside, with your girl in the rain I laugh now, I see a lot of jokes You ain't comfortable, scared pink, hang around a lot of folks You don't know gangs wanna kill you You get shot by real locs First class always, you bring a busload You neverous when you sit in coach I know your facade, hardcore You hope a lot of people get scared with your approach Your whole steelo mice and roach When Marion comes in the industry, the parties get empty The champagne bottles go down Hotel lobbies get dimmed, your average hard rapper turned ghost Hits his foxhole and go to his post You can't walk outside, with your girl in the rain You can't walk outside, with your girl in the rain A lot of you live through food and delivery I know the pain is the front in your misery Come outside your indoor studio, enjoy your life Lay on your couch by your floor model Sony You dream you got shot twice Come outside, don't be scared Even NBA players walk the streets with no bodyguards How you gonna flex with Domino's pizza in your living room And sport your ice? You're paranoid Cause the walked into the library, looked at you twice Orderin all you do is murder and kill, on vinyl and CD Request to have the chicken and fried rice Chinese cat at your door on the bike You doin the same thing you did last night (same thing) You can't walk outside, with your girl in the rain You can't walk outside, with your girl in the rain You wear your glasses at night Tinted windows, comin through your block slow You cancelled another show because the police department And the FBI told you not to go The record company cover you Overweight bodyguards smother you When your wife ain't, what you think your lover do? Petrified of what happened to 2Pac and Biggie You light up your ciggy Grab a cold beer out the refridgerator, bop your mickey You was scared in the hired hotel Dressed the janitor walkin by with dickies You can't walk outside, with your girl in the rain You can't walk outside, with your girl in the rain You can't walk outside, with your girl in the rain
