Chocolate Rain -- Tay Zonday



Chocolate Rain  Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Chocolate Rain  A baby born will die before the sin
Chocolate Rain  The school books say it can't be here again
Chocolate Rain  The prisons make you wonder where it went
Chocolate Rain  Build a tent and say the world as dry
Chocolate Rain  Zoom the camera out and see the light
Chocolate Rain  Forecast to be falling yesterday
Chocolate Rain  Only in the past is what they say
Chocolate Rain  Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
Chocolate Rain  Makes us happy 'livin in a gay
Chocolate Rain  Made me cross the street the other day
Chocolate Rain  Made you turn your head the other way

Chocolate Rain   History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain  Using you to fall back down again
Chocolate Rain  Seldom mentioned on the radio
Chocolate Rain  it's the fear your leaders car control
Chocolate Rain   Worse than swearing, worse than calling names
Chocolate Rain  Say it publicly, and you're insane
Chocolate Rain  No one wants to hear about it now
Chocolate Rain  Wish real hard it goes away somehow
Chocolate Rain  Makes the best of friends begin to fight
Chocolate Rain  But did they know each other in the light?
Chocolate Rain  Every February washed away
Chocolate Rain  Stays behind as colors celebrate
Chocolate Rain  The same crime has a higher price to pay
Chocolate Rain  The judge and jury swear it's not in the face

Chocolate Rain   Dirty secrets of economy
Chocolate Rain  Turns that body into GDP
Chocolate Rain   The bell curve blames the baby's DNA
Chocolate Rain   But test scores are how much the parents made
Chocolate Rain   Flippin' cousin France the other night
Chocolate Rain   Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai
Chocolate Rain   'Cross the world and back it's all the same
Chocolate Rain   Angels cry and shake their heads in shame
Chocolate Rain   Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
Chocolate Rain   Which part do you think you're 'livin in?
Chocolate Rain  More than marchin' more than past and law
Chocolate Rain  Remake how we got to where we are  


Zonday called the song "cheesy" and stated that its cryptic lyrics dealt with racism.
This echoes Zonday's comments posted to the video's page on YouTube.
Many attribute the initial spread of the popularity of the song to 4chan. Zonday said,
I'm pretty sure the 'Chocolate Rain' attention started as a joke at 4chan.org, an internet forum that is credited with starting lots of popular internet phenomena. It spread to a general  I move away from the mic to breathe in  audience and people started uploading spoofs. I don't know what causes people to listen to my music. If I could speak it, there would be no reason to write songs.              (wikipedia) 

                                                                                

  Interesting expose of European racism.
