"Chocolate Rain" Lyrics:
"Chocolate Rain"
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 is dry
Chocolate Rain
Zoom the camera out and see the lie
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 gate
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
Its the fear your leaders call 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 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 make
Chocolate Rain
'Flippin cars in France the other night
Chocolate Rain
Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai
Chocolate Rain
'Cross the world and back its 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 passing law
Chocolate Rain
Remake how we got to where we are.
(Chorus)

THANKS for your SUPPORT! Watch MORE singing by ME! ---> goo.gl/vScJcG
Watch me TALK! ---> bit.ly/2YKUFze
What made you decide to make this version a bit slower than the original version in both the vocals and the music?
Truly a god given gift
this song lowkey sad
How old are you
No problem!!!! Thank you for making our childhoods!!!!!
uhm.. Tay.. youre breathing into the mic...
My first thought!
Look at then subtitles...
Me no hear
Thats part of the aestethic but yeah
If only he moved away from the mic 🥸
How the heck did people in early RUclips miss how heavy and accurate the lyrics were? This isn't just a fucking meme, it's a social commentary.
A big part of it was that people who heard it first would cut out the deep lyrics and just play him singing the two titular words over and over again. So a lot of us are actually hearing the lyrics for the first time.
@@tundrasome9409 I'm gonna be real, that's pretty shitty and probably a bit racist.
@@MrGksarathy it's not putting someone down based on race. It's not thinking a race is less superior. It's not racist, it's just the internet. Funny chocolate rain go brrrr
@@MrGksarathy it DID get popular on 4chan which is very well known for their racism.
@@MrGksarathy no you’re right, it was absolutely shitty and intentional.
Dear Tay,
We all owe you an apology. Your song has more relevance today than ever before. Don't ever let us forget Chocolate Rain.
Sincerely,
Your fans
Not everyone missed the original message.
@@djenorman I didn't even hear of it until I saw "mama economy" posted to reddit today and people mentioned this in the comments. Posted years ago and I'm only seeing it now.
@@nathanthanatos3743 He's a powerful wordsmith eh? I'd definitely draw a distinction between being unaware of the song's existence and hearing but not understanding at time of release. I took OP's sweeping apology to indicate the latter, hencee my response. It's good that it's coming back up imo, still horribly relevant. [edit; typos]
@@djenorman horrifically relevant, even if i still can't fully parse the figurative language. I'm glad he mostly looks at the keyboard, because the daggers he shoots looking at the camera make it straight through the screen and into my stomach ':D
Is it really? Chocolate Rain was more relevant back then then today. Dont let the political polarization make you think otherwise.
He can actually play it and sing it at the same time. I find that so amazing. I respect these kinda musicians.
and he doesnt have to move away from the mic!
Agreed. What I find astonishing is his wikipedia page says he has debilitating hyperacusis. Which is an auditory sensitivity disability. To be able to create music and have this level of talent through that is moving honestly.
This video show you how technology improved during this 10 years. He doesn't even need to **move away from the mic to breathe in!
Yup
@@Gaminboi2864 n he learned how to control n stuff lol n tech helped sum 😃 cheers
I think it's because he's singing slower now so he can breath in between lines
Well now you can hear him breathing ;-)
HAHAHAHA
Uhm he didn’t turn away from the mic to breathe. This is conclusive evidence that He doesn’t breathe anymore
🤣🤣🤣
he didn't move away from the mic to breathe in
and its sad
It actually said he didn't move away in the from the mic to breathe in in subtitles at this timestamp 0:28
@@Turtle_13lol he didn't move away tho lol
Madre mía Willy, que haces aquí compañero?
plot twist: he's not breathing
Disappointed no turning away from the mic for breath
He sang the entire song in one breath, did not once move away from the mic to breathe
His new mic doesn't pick up on his breathing as well, but you can still sometimes hear him breath
PoliticalFan You can hear it pretty good
No it's just that his mic
Doesn't pick up his breathing that well
r/whooosh...
@@gewoonwannes5394 that's the sound Tay Zonday makes when taking a massive, six-minute long breath before singing this song
This is good and all..
..but he didn't move away from the mic to breathe..
lol ikr
Immersion ruined
I kind of like it though, kind of like when you play the guitar and hear the fingers streaking across the strings sometimes
@@Clinterpottrmus It feels like it's made by a human when you hear those tiny details. Not ideal during studio recordings though.
🤣🤣🤣
Only 3 years for the 20th anniversary version
4 more years till we get the 20 year anniversary ver
That’s crazy its almost been 20 years
I don’t know how to feel about that
damnnn we old
Domain name and day counter needed 😅
We laughed when we should've listened.

Jobani Mendoza lmao I noticed that too
10 years later
Same issues
_>"The bell curve blames the baby's DNA. But test scores are how much the parents make"_
*Education reform NOW* ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
I looked up his age - he is 38 years old! WHAT?! He looks like a teen
Black don’t crack
wtf
Wtf
38?!- I thought he was like mid 40 or- wow looks hella yung thoo not gon front
Others cry and others feel the pain
He no longer moves away from the mic to breathe in.
Megan Marie XD
Tay Zonday is the only one who has escaped the effects of time for the past 10 year--is he an immortal or time traveler?
I think he's been drinking chocolate rain.
schmoyoho it takes longer for black people to start to show signs of age, I think
@Gabriel Sage @schmoyoho I guess black people are saiyans.
THEMISSINGLINK how do you know he's black lmao
The Araki syndrome.
It's sad how the meaning of this song is still true and just reading the comments proves it.
What is the point of the song?
@@TheBlockTVinc systematic racism
@@TheBlockTVinc the song makes more sense when you replace chocolate rain with the nono word
No it isn't. Make a song called vanilla rain since they are the ones truly suffering . How long will this scam of black oppression continue. You are now the most privileged people on earth
@@acoochie467 like all the systematic racism against whites in hiring and college
2007: Moves away to breathe
2017: Breathes into the mic
Insane how so many people just heard this song and completely ignored the political overtones because it was catchy and because some people thought his voice was funny
@Rip privacy Sure, I'll just run down a few lyrics, but once you notice the first few it starts to click.
"Chocolate Rain, The Bell Curve blames the DNA" The Bell Curve is a book that claimed black people were less intelligent genetically while pretending to be a scientific paper.
"Chocolate Rain, "Only in the past" is what they say" "Chocolate Rain, School books say it can't come again" "Chocolate Rain build a tent and say the world is dry" these two lyrics are about how schools will often teach about racist periods of history as if it's society doesn't still have racism in every day life, along with the general public sharing that fantasy.
"Chocolate Rain, cleans the sewers out in Mumbai" is a reference to the caste system in India were you are stuck into the class your born in which shows discrimination outside if African Americans, although the lower castes in India tend to have darker skin.
"Chocolate Rain, dirty secrets of economy" which is about how alot of businesses and government use racist ideas and class unbalances to make more money, and work to keep those racist policys around to make more money.
"Chocolate Rain the same crime has a higher price to pay" witch refers to how black people concistantly have worse punishments for crimes.
I think you get the idea
This is genuinely a really good song. The chord progression at 1:34 is really great, and the lyrics are well written, and it's also very catchy.
@@saltysauce8692 Thanks for this.
First Version: anime opening song
This version: anime ending song
this
I'm watching this in 1,25x speed
How did you guys find my comment in an endless sea of new ones!!??
As a weeb I can confirm
Weebism is heresy
The fact this dude crafted this song and lyrics at such a young age originally is kinda mind blowing. Especially when you actually listen to all the lyrics. Epic.
the mind is a powerful thing ....
Still waiting for his 2nd viral video.
He no longer needs to move away from the mic to breathe... Also WOW what a message...
Respect.
10 years later, now he no longer needs to move away from the mic to breathe
the journey of man
he learned, gain experience
Found this when I was like 16.
Didn't understand the song, so thought it was a stupid song.
26 now, and I am amazed. Some says it's about racism. Some say it's ahout general discrimination against minorities.
I don't care what it is. The lyrics are deep and in some way speaking the truth.
Amazing how life experience changes one's perspectives so much.
ITS ABOUT CAPITALISM BROOOOOO. THE SYSTEM SUFFOCATING THE MASSES OF BLACK BODIES IN THIS CHARADE. CHOCOLATE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINNNNNNNNNNNNN.
The most incredible thing is that he knows where the fountain of youth is, when he released this song he was 25 years old and he looked like a 15 year old boy, here he was 37 and he seems 22
This time he breathes into the mic, now that's character development
he's no longer turning his head the other way.
Evolution of 10 years: he doesn't move away from the mic to breathe.
he's playing piano at the same time
Tay Zonday, the first human to cure himself of oxygen addiction
The *tenth anniversary* was seven years ago?!? Damn, I'm getting old.
"Every February....washed away..."
Actually the line that closed my "white guy eyes," and got me to catch how insulting "black history 'month'" truly is. I bet that a genius like Herbie Hancock or Prince could really appreciate, not just the emotion, but the artistry.
Did we all just get recommended this at one time in late 2019 ?
legit must have shown up in our feeds at the exact same second lol
The Canucklehead so it wasn’t just me, weeeeeeiiiiird.
Hi!
I think its a sign from the gods
Yes 😂
2017 : -
2018 : -
2019 : *RUclips has recommended you this video*
i appreciate just how brutally straight forward some of these lyrics are
"the same crime has a higher price to pay" "turns that body into gdp" "the test scores are how much the parents make"
it hits really deep sixteen years later
The original was 15 years ago now. Imagine having made such a timeless classic at such a young age.
almost 15 years ago
16 yr ago....
He's not moving away from the Mic to breathe in.
Chocolate rain 1: anime opening
Chocolate rain 2: anime ending
haha!
Not a true remake, our mans be breathing into the mic 😢
im upset he didn't move away from the mic to breathe once ;-;
It truly shows how far he's come
I can hear him breathing into the mic and it is disturbing me
*Moves away from mic to breath in*
Yes, ¡Move!
applepiealive No its inward breather for sure 100%
epic
I want a version featuring both moving away from the mic as well as hearing the breathing.
In 2027 we will hopefully have the technology for this.
Clearly a fake, he didn't move away from the mic to breathe in.
I wish more people would realize this has an extremely serious message and meaning, and is extremely well composed, instead of making fun of the old video's amateur production value.
what's the message i am horrible about ready lyrics.
@@xxyonakaxx8375 it's about the history of racism, basically
@@whoknows143 Not just history, it's current presence. "The schoolbooks say it can't be here again." "Only in the past is what they say."
@@SoylentGamer absolutely true, my mistake
@@xxyonakaxx8375 its about institutional racism
Now he's using military grade mic so he doesn't even to move away to breathe in😮
The breathing is actually quite noticeable. He should have moved away from the mic to breath.
WHY IS THIS 2 YEARS LATE IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS
lintlickerize my thoughts exactly
Thanks youtube, only two years late on recommending this.
NocFA same
NocFA same
Yo
Me too lmao
Two
Tay is looking at us like we know what it means now.
I figured out what it meant the second time I heard it, it’s not that hard
@@ethanhawksley9097 yeah but most people didnt actually listen to the words in between "chocolate rain" and also a lot of the people were like 10 when they first heard it
@@monsieurlefrog8706not me
How is this only in my recommendations now after 3 years?
Same
Lol
HE DIDNT MOVE AWAY TO BREATHE
Original version: start of season op
This version: music that plays during the final fight of the series
Bean damn that’s crazy how I’m not the only one who just became suddenly interested in seeing this again
Bean accurate
In Three years it will be the 20th anniversary.. 💀
and that is crazy wtf
he didn't move to breathe in this time, he's a changed man
Clearly in 10 years he has transcended the need for breathing
2007: moves away from mic to prevent noise
2017: " *huuuu* "
It's obvious. He's moving at a slower pace this time to preserve energy so he doesn't have to move away from the mic to breathe in.
When I first heard this song, I SORT OF thought that it MIGHT be about black struggle, from a few of the lines, but I didn't truly understand: I thought that it was just an absurd joke song with the fact that it was sung so well just being a part of the joke, and that it happened to accidentally have a few lines that were accidentally race conscious. Now, I hear it: it really is a great song.
He forgot to step away from the mic to breathe
lol, its been ten years dude why do you rememeber
tricky gamers i think its because they made fun of him during “youtubers react to viral videos” and it kinda stuck with me
Lol!!
I hope now people can understand what Tay meant.
"Build a tent and say the world is dry"
"zoom the camera out and see the lie"
It was always pretty obvious
@@andyd6338 Considering I'm betting most of us were in middle school when the song originally released, meaning completely whent over our heads. Rather we focused on funny mad say"Chocolate Rain"
Im at that part right now actually
@@gemain609 nah foo, I was five when this happened and most ppl I talk to regarding this are the same, pretty much this was forever ago 😂😂😂
This is a legit masterpiece lol the words actually have WAY too much meaning for it to have been ignored as it became a meme. Love it
@gold N 64 listen to any lyric mate. Made me cross the street the other day cough cough chocolate… every February washed away check what month February is. Same crime has a higher price to pay judge and jurry swear it’s not the face. This is a meme anthem but it should be a Black Lives Matter anthem.
@gold N 64 it’s actually a beautiful song but it’s still fun. But knowing the lyrics kinda makes it sad.
In 2027 I want the version 20 years later
You forgot to move away your head from the mic when breathing 😯
Oh no :o
He traded the ability to move his head for the the ability to play piano
He didn't move his mouth from the microphone to breath
Automatic Dislike
And the difference is noticeable
You get a like just for Tame Impala
it took me till i was today years old to realize this was about racism and now i feel dumb
I never knew how deep this song actually was until now.
Same. I feel like a total asshole.
Very good performance but just a tip, you should probably move away the mic when you breath
Hahahaha lol
It’s like the only difference from the original, he just didn’t look away to breathe!
very good, but you didn't move away fom the mic to breathe
0:30*OMG he didn't move away to breathe in!*
You can still hear him breathing though haha, listen closely.
og
the chair is holding him hostage. chocolate rain.
Honestly the way he developed the tune over 10 years is super apparent here. He plays it with a lot more feeling and his delivery is more soulful and less robotic. Less of a viral video, more a genuinely well written song after this much time.
A classic always matures with age.
I saw a few other comments talking about the tempo of the song that I commented on. But you're right. If you slow it down it feels like he has more soul and piano is more emotional I think for the 20 year anniversary the 0.75x version is going too be what he plays because this song doesn't fit uptempo this song would have a much more emotional impact down tempo
He’s not moving away from the mic to breathe....
Nose.
Man If i didnt see this comment about 90 times already lmao
Uhh he's famous now lol so he's probably hired people to breathe for him
didnt even mvoe away from mic to breath ......
Play it at 1.25 speed to hear the original version.
Edit: I just noticed I'm not the first to make that comment. I guess I'm not as clever as I thought I was 😐
Lol
Wow
set the speed to 1.25x and set it on 240p for best experience.
fun fact:
he doesn't move away from the mic cos he has attained immortality and doesn't breathe anymore!
You hear him breathing in the mic lol
6% disappointed because he didn’t move away from the mic to breathe
Breathing is *so* ten years ago tbh
"Chocolate Rain; Raised your neighborhood insurance rates. Chocolate Rain; Makes you happy living in a gate."
Hurts my damn heart every time.
Same with the “judge and jury swear it’s not the face”
@@goonhead3791 makes you really see it a bit from the other side
i feel like this man hasn't aged a single day
This is fake. The real Tay moves away from his mic to breathe
I know right 😂😂😂
That's cause its been about ten years since he did
Except that, like Faith Hill, I could hear him breathing.
The Algorithim has blessed us today.
Indeed
I appreciate the fact this was recorded at exactly 75% of the original speed so that we can speed it back up with the 1.25x function. 🙏
I think it is personally better slower because you can understand what he is saying.
80% (assuming you're right 1.25 speeds it back up to the original speed). 80*1.25=100.
15 years ago now... damn. i fr miss the era of youtube where no one cared about monitization and everyone just made videos for fun.
with a passion
He didn't move away from the mic to breathe.
Ikr bro
das illegal
He didn't move away from the mic to breathe in
smh
@Fresh Pringz It's a joke
Btw did you realize that the comments are sorted by newest by default very weird right?
I think it's the third time that happens to me and it seems that it happens to every one in this video.
lon lom it does go in newest first 🤔. RUclips be doing sketchy things
@@TheBigShaq exactly
lon lom youtube legends never die, thus stating he doesn’t require respiration
I remember first hearing this song in 2007 I was probably 12 or so, I’m 29 now and with what I know now it kinda blows my mind how profound these lyrics are
jeez
this was 5 years ago
Indeed
I know right holy crap man...
time flies
RUclips WHY, I COULDVE SEEN THIS A YEAR AGO.
Edit: plus, the RUclips algorithm is just trash now.
Almost 2 years ago even :/
He made this song 12 years ago and it was a meme sensation
same wtf youtube!
** doesn't ned to move mouth away from mic to breathe
YEAH TAYZONDAY
Reilly Brown ned
I really can't believe the meaning of this song went over my head as a child.
I think it went over everyone's head in 2007.
you mustve been a pretty slow child
Did anyone secretly want him to move away from the mic for breaths?
he takes himself to seriously now to make a reference like that... Sadly
Two years too late RUclips
Same.
Thats what im saying,why am i seeing this now
Same and how does it only have 2 million views
**I move away from the mic to breathe in
few more years we'll need a 20 year remaster.
I vote metal version, but I'm probably the only one
im disappointed that you didnt move away from the mic to breath
I think he purposefully breathed in slightly louder than normal instead.
*moves away from the microphone for 10 years*
4 more years and u can make the twentieth anniversary time goes fast
Go in 1.25x speed and it will sound like the original type
lol right on!
Perfect, thx
Xd
Goes a little bit faster but pretty close yeah
Yea
"build a tent and say the world is dry"
damn....
"Zoom the camera out and see the lie."
"The same crime has a higher price to pay"
"Some stay dry and others feel the pain."
“Every February washed away”
He forgot to turn away from the mic
in 4 years it will be the 20th anniversary of this masterpiece
At 1.25x it sounds like the original :D
Too accurate
He didn't move away from the mic to breath in!
Yeah, you could hear him breathe :o
