Tay Zonday – Chocolate Rain lyrics
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

(Chorus)
Chocolate Rain
History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain
Using you to fall back down again
[Repeat]

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

(Chorus)

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' cars in 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

(Chorus)

    Man. Tay Zonday even said in an interview that it's about deep racism. Even though everything is "Supposed" to be equal, there's still racism around. Black History Month is February (every February washed away). Every line means something about how racism is still alive and well, but hiding. "Raised your neighborhood insurance rates" is referring to economic racism. It's all there, throughout the song.
    And this song is not racist at all. The guy is only trying to show how there still is racism in the world.

    To me the lyrics represent the fall and injustice of society being repeated and that we're allowing the wool to be pulled over our eyes and pretending that world suffering doesn't exist. Nobody gets to hear of it because nobody is reporting it happening and we're being shaded from the truth, so we think it's all in the past and don't see it in the present or don't want to see it when we do.
    When I see the words "chocolate rain" between each line it makes me think of black people crying. Put that together with the remaining lyrics and you have a song about racial injustice and suffering and how people of the present are ignoring it or unaware of it and think it's just something of the past, but it is still here and now.

    Tay Zonday very poetically and directly addresses the covert existence of racism, and the bone deep damage it can inflict on those who experience it. I have personally experienced most of the things he mentioned, and I'm still baffled by the fact that normally developed people (in their right minds) could ever believe that racism is dead! If racism is dead, I'm a straight haired blonde girl with blue eyes! There's only one thing worst for an individual than to be snubbed, criticized, abused and unrightly judged when they haven't done anything that every American citizen has the right to do, and that is for their entire race to be treated that way. Can we not all get together again and have the same mind to demand respect as a part of the human race?

    Once, in an african village, a native man walks up to a missionary with a look of fury on his face.
    "my wife gave birth today," the native growled, "and the baby is white! And you're the only white person within 100 miles of here! "
    The missionary glanced around guiltily for a moment but quickly regained his composure.
    "look at those goats over there," the missionary said, pointing at the village's livestock. "all of them are white, except for that black one over there! Sometimes nature works in mysterious ways. "
    The native's eyes widened, and he nodded at the missionary. "i understand, sir. I'll stop talking about the white baby... " and here his voice dropped to a whisper. "... And you stop talking about the black goat. "

    The meaning to chocolate rain is that there is rain and the rain is chocolate. Rain being water falling from the sky, but in this case, it is not water that is falling, but rather chocolate. Chocolate being a delicious snack eaten all over the world. So given these definitions, one may come to a conclusion that chocolate rain is the precipitation of a usually brown candy made of cacao beans.

    The meaning of "chocolate rain" is not disputable. It states a simple fact that racism is still alive and well in the heart of america even today. Judgement is cast upon people each and everyday for no reason at all. Sad but true. When will the world see the truth and stand as one? When will you open your eyes and see the value, see the strength that could be achieved in unity. Those who read this. Please consider the option to put an end to hate. Thanks for listening.

    The lyrics have some truth to them quite a bit actually. Even though slavery was stopped about 140 years ago racism still persists. However, I think it persists for different reasons other then the suppression by the "The Man" up top. I think, just my lil opinion, that with popular culture todays youth are I guess "comfortable" into slipping into their stereotypical roles. They point to certain structures in society as is predetermined by society and blame them, for example politicians lie, lawyers s***w you etc. Its whats expected. But when this is done its not really fighting racism rather it actually devalues it because your acts have no meaning. You are no longer the shepherd but a sheep. In the past the actions of African Americans echoed that it was the time for a change, time for them to be treated as equals. The decision was black and white, no pun intended. So with todays youth although they would want to equalize whatever socioeconomic factors might influence them they are approaching this from a ancient method still focusing on differences when they should be focusing on similarities. .:-) cheers that's my opinion.

    First off Megzm is right on top of it as far as the meaning. It is obviously about racism and it was a very moving song. Its easy to forget that some people have to deal with racism daily.
    Second Stupidpeople is obviously born retarded; it doesn't make you racist to joke about the meaning of a song.
    Along with that note, yes, racism still exists, but the day people can joke about it without others getting offended is the day racism no longer matters because no one will care when no one is treated unfairly due to their skin pigmentation. Also, everyone knows "races" among people is a term that is false.
    And keep in mind that people are prejudice against foreigners, poor people, americans, muslims, what ever reason you can pick is a reason used. The only difference is racism is more specific to the us since most all other countries no longer have deep-seeded roots in the topic. And btw I see asians and african americans be racist to members of their fellow pigmentation.

    The meaning of this song is about all the candy and chocolate that are consumed in the world. Dirty secrets of economy, is about how people can't pay their mortgage, but can buy a bag of resses peanut butter cups. A baby born will die before the sin, means childhood obesity. Every February washed away refers to giving heart-shaped candies on Valentines Day to make an excuse to eat chocolate. Stays behind as colors celebrate refers to the candy-colored coating on M&Ms. Worse than swearing worse than calling names refers to calling a person fat. Say it publicly and you're insane is about politically correct language for refering to someone's weight. The bell curve blames the baby's dna refers to the fact that obesity is hereditary. Tay wants this message to get out because he is thin.

    Although, I do agree it is probably about racism (although vegetables would be funny), I don't agree with the arguments that the government causes it with regards to neighborhood insurance rates and that it does nothing to help.
    I may as well reference to Megzm in that neighborhood economies are determined by conditions, not residents- and people create their own environments (whites also live in bad neighborhoods).
    With regards to Megzm comparing punishments for the same crime, I seriously believe that not to be true. First of all, if a white man and a black man are both caught for the same crime, but only one man can actually be caught, they will take the white guy- because that means less paperwork.
    Still (if anyone's still here, I tend to ramble), I completely agree with Megzm with the social part of it. There is a lot of racism in a lot of areas, but now it's completely social, because the legal aspect of it has done a full 180.
    This is not A racist comment, simply A counterargument.

    I'm pretty sure this song is either about explosive diarrhea or else nothing at all. If he had wanted to make a serious song about racism, I don't think he would have used a term like "chocolate rain." I agree racism is a bad thing and it persists today, but that doesn't mean we should read too far into things that have little or no meaning on the subject. Moreover, as a white male, it bothers me when we talk about racism like it's only towards people of color. There is racism towards every race on this planet, so why do we always have to single something like this out to refer to one race? That seems racist to me, because people who do so are being racist back to the supposed oppressors by accusing them of racism, when they may very well be innocent. The U.S. has come a long way in eliminating racism, and I don't think we're going to get much better than where we currently are without moving backwards.

    Long, long ago before the blacks were free, rain came down and washed away the paint from all the mimes. They don't talk because they are women, and they don't talk unless they ask what I want on my sandwich. Anyway, it also rained down on "their kind" and killed all of the whites at the plantation. So them people had a watermelon party and a chicken festival, but then them people found out abraham lincoln had discovered a sweet nutty substance and was going to name it "white people butter", but one of them people killed him and made it "jiffy sauce", referring to the battle of bunker hill in which them people were sooo hanged, like my nads between my legs. So I went back in time, killed their kind who named it "jiffy sauce", and renamed it "peanut butter", and hit george washington carver in the nadsac with it. And what bled out over the next five hours I called chocolate rain.

    There is no meaning. I didn't know what the hell he was saying so came here to see the lyrics and everyone is talking about racism (do I need to point out he's half white). The dork clearly lives in his mothers basement. He is famous for being a sci-fi nerd with a deep voice. Get over it and get a job. Those who can't get over it do us all a favor and kill yourself.

    You people need to realize this, racism will always be there but may I ask a question how is black history month not racist? Why isn't there a white history month? That's racist right yeah sure they were slaves but you know? Slaves were everywhere at one time they weren't the only people to be oppressed and they need to quit ruining there own lives by just living the racist comments that are spoken about them. Maybe if they'd stop doing what people say they do there wouldn't be so much godamn racism.
