It's raining

Hey all,
I participated in the WB 2016 challenge, had a ton of fun and made a couple friends. I had to stop in the middle of the year because of work. I didn't know WB was back until I decided to check out the website a few days ago. I did a little thing this week and I wanted to share, so this is perfect (the two facts may be related). I hope it's OK to step in like that on week 47...
A bit of context about my submission: it's an arrangement of the soundtrack of this video. Despite the sadness of the situation, I found the vocals pretty good, so I dropped it in my DAW. I was looking for a warm bluesy groove to fit the ternary flow. The chords he sings to are pretty straightforward: Am7/DM7. Throw in a E7 and you got your pseudo-blues. I gave him a classic trio: a double bass, electric keys and a beat, then I added a few dub echoes and a choir for the redemption of that dude lying on the sidewalk.:) In the end, I didn't have to edit the file at all, the vocal recording remained as is.
Lyrics (correct me if I'm wrong):
It's raining, wo-ho,
It's calling, yes lord, ha!
Gotta get some o'the rain...
Drug sale right there, looking, drug sale...
What the hell? No way! Oh-oh! What the hell?
My boy, are you good?
