I'm a penny pinch now
Stack my bread
So we're fed
Maybe we'll be rich one day
But until then
Yeah, until then

He told me, save a little for rain
Don't let it fall down on you
And so, I'll tell you the same
'Cause it can fall down real soon

He said, you're privileged
Son, this is a test
You got a job
Yeah boy, you are so blessed
He said, God is good
So make sure that you tithe (You know that he's good)
It's only ten percent
And he gave you this life
I said, Dad I know
But man, I work so hard
And it's funny how the building fund
Well, it always turns to cars
So I'll rather give my money
To someone who needs it
In other words, keep it

He told me, save a little for rain
Don't let it fall down on you
And so, I'll tell you the same
'Cause it could fall down real soon
He told me, save a little for rain
Don't let it fall down on you
You better put some away
Don't ball out too soon

See, I just paid
I gotta get some jeans
I’m gonna fill my tank
And drive to New Orleans
Go down on Bourbon Street
It's time to celebrate (Gonna get some wine, raise it in the sky, toast it to the life)
Get a tuna steak
And sip a little champagne
Well, he said, don't race your ride
As soon as you get the keys
You know, 'Cause many things you want
Are not what you need
And I know you don't wanna work
When you are my age
So here's a lesson from my page

He told me, save a little for rain
Don't let it fall down on you
And so, I'll tell you the same
'Cause it could fall down real soon
He told me, save a little for rain
Don't let it fall down on you
So I'll tell you the same
I'll tell you the same
'Cause it could fall down real soon
Real soon, oh no no no

He said, you don't wanna spend it all
On a diamond chain
For a pretty thang, naw
Or a bigger place, naw
You better save it
Just in case
Yeah, see

So you can shine so bright
Like the face of a diamond
But you look so hard
That you can't see the chains
And you played your part
You say, look at what I've done
So you're fortunate
But now you want some fame
Where everybody knows your name
Oh, the fame
Where everybody knows your name

Well I'll tell you, save a little for rain
Don't let it fall down on you
You better put some away
Don't ball out too soon
He told me, save a little for rain
Don't let it fall down on you
So I'll tell you the same
I'll tell you the same
'Cause it could fall down real soon

Real soon
Oh yeah
Won't you save
A little
A little for rain
