He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Ah, ah
Akon, Konvict
Ah, ah
Konvict music!
The pressure's building up
I feel like givin' up
How in the fuck am I gonna back my first album up
When everything has changed?
It'll never be the same
Nobody knew me then, now everybody knows my name
And I feel so ashamed
I've never been the kinda nigga that would complain
But it's so crazy, man
There's no different
Everyday is just the same thing
Now it's been months out on the road
On tour doing so many different shows
Head's spinning, feeling like it's gonna explode
And I just wanna know
If anybody out there's feelin' me
I'm losin' my mind, and I can't believe
I let this shit get the best of me
And now I gotta let you know
What's got me insane, oh
'Cause I can't stand the rain, hey
It's hitting my window pane
A little too much
And now I gotta let you know
What's I got my face in the frown, hey
'Cause I can't stand the sound, oh
The thunder is crashing down
Upon my house
'Cause now I gotta let you know
Now I got no more worries now
My pocket's fatter now
Look in the mirror, my reflection looks different now
Your getting bigger
Akon, you need to settle down
Why do I feel this way?
Should I be happy, or
Should I just ignore
Everything that I've been given
Please help me, Lord
It's all over, but
I can't escape the rain
Now it's been months out on the road
On tour doing so many different shows
Head's spinning, feeling like it's gonna explode
And now I gotta let you know
If anybody out there's feelin' me
I'm losin' my mind, and I can't believe
I let this shit get the best of me
And now I gotta let you know
What's got me insane, oh
'Cause I can't stand the rain, hey
It's hitting my window pain
A little too much
That's why I gotta let you know
What's I got my face in the frown, hey
'Cause I can't stand the sound, oh
The thunder is crashing now
Upon my house
Say now, oh diddy, oh diddy, oh
Akon, Konvict
Ah, ah
Konvict music!

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I interpret this song as him looking back on his career and the people involved in his rise to fame, and he is remembering his past transgressions and mistakes and they are coming through as rain, rain being his metaphor for memories. Sometimes he thinks too much about what he has become, the things he dislikes about it and the rain pours a bit too much for his liking. That's my interpretation of the song.
