Default Re: umbrella

Who really knows in a rap-type song, but I have a guess.

There is an English saying that "Every cloud has a silver lining." That means -even if things are bad (or cloudy), something good (a silver lining) can come from it. So, if the singer does NOT have "a cloud in his storm", he may see nothing good coming his way in this bad situation - except for Rihanna, of course, who holds the umbrella to protect him!
