I read this line as a struggle to reconcile natural evils with a belief in a good God:
"If it keep on rainin', the levee gonna break
Everybody saying this is a day only the Lord could make"
And this is a reference to all of the crime and theft that took place in the wake of the Katrina disaster:
"If it keep on rainin', the levee gonna break
Some of these people gonna strip you of all they can take"
oooh, this is an interesting reference to the christian eschatological belief that christ's return will be followed by 1000 years of peace:
"Put on your cat clothes, mama, put on your evening dress
Few more years of hard work, then there'll be a 1,000 years of happiness"
