I was sitting back, and I was thinking, man
I ain′t even trying to deal with this s- no more, you know
(Here comes the rain) Cham', I don′t know what to do, yo, ya know
(Here comes the rain) seem like every time a - make one-step man
(Here comes the rain) - take two steps back, you feel me?
They told me that pain was just in the frame, the irony of that
'Cause that was the slogan showing, when they tried to see my tats
Never knew what was in the skin, would finally be a fact
Feeling like mother nature's, right behind me with a -
Take that, the rain′s loud on the window when it taps
To help with the time, I thought that I could finally be relaxed
Tired of being po′, yeah, trying to leave the rats
Walk out to see three of your tires that be on flat
And that one tire left a sign of hope
That helps you to keep on grinding when you kinda broke
That helps you to keep composure up around your folk
That keeps from trying to wrap a rope around your throat
Don't choke (choke), you feeling like giving up (don′t choke)
Life isn't a million bucks, you feeling like living sucks
God′s telling you hear your boy, but you don't wanna give him trust
Mama telling you pay your ties, and you yell at her back "For what?"
To the path took a ride fast to get some rims on his truck
I don′t think that they'll miss ten percent of negative bucks
Put some Henny up in your cup, your problems will start to drown
But soon as your buzz leaves, then problems come back around, damn
Keep your head up is what they telling me (keep your head)
(They tell me life will get better) what it gotta be
Sorry, but the world keeps stressing me (keeps stressing me)
Rain drops round up the memories
"It's gonna be alright" is what they telling me (it′s gonna be alright)
Don′t let the stress get the best of me (of me)
Trying to focus on the road that's ahead of me (that′s ahead of me)
'Til my brain gets cloudy ′bout a memory
God knows, how I feel now
On the outside I'm smiling, but inside a - know he hell bound (here comes the rain)
It′s a dark road, and I'm right here in the middle of it (here comes the rain)
Do I walk slow or if I run, am I missing something?
I took the time out to save a little bread, now my eyes, got water in 'em
Why the f- am I still standing here? Nobody loves me I ain′t happy here
My mama said she can′t handle him, but still, I'm looking at the bright side
But I view it through my other eye, ′cause it's a different color sky
Then the last one, my mind set on the prize that may never come
So do I try to stay alive, or do I grab a -
End it all, put a stop to the pain
That goes on in my head every time it rains
But that was speaking, so you listening to the thoughts
Of an evil spirit in demonic verses every time I talk
I′m confused by my psychologic close setbacks
In the storm, watching out through the wet cracks
Looking for heaven, off in all the wrong places
I've given up so all long faces, let it rain
Keep your head up is what they telling me (got to keep my head)
(It′s what they tell me) what it gotta be (what it gotta be)
Sorry, but the world keeps stressing me (stressing me, stressing me)
Rain drops round up the memories (my memories)
"It's gonna be alright" is what they telling me (that's what they telling me)
Don′t let the stress get the best of me
Trying to focus on the road that′s ahead of me (I got to focus on the road that's ahead of me)
′Til my brain gets cloudy 'bout a memory
Your bills keep adding up, to be alone you prefer
Bill collectors steady calling, starting to get on your nerves (here comes the rain)
Your rent due on the first, but right now it′s the third (here comes the rain)
Telling yourself it's gon′ get better, but ain't believing a word (here comes the rain)
Feel like it's hard to deal, tomorrow it′s hard as steel
Not to mention, the realest member of your family is getting ill (damn)
Tell me it isn′t so (so), tell me it isn't real (real)
In the mist of all the drama, you take a lil′ time to kneel
To deal, you take a pill, just to deal with the drama
You thinking your life sinking, and there isn't a plumber
They tell you what doesn′t kill you only makes you stronger
You'd have to be a Superman to lift as much as me partner
(They tell you "Stay strong") you′re trying, but help is just what you doubting
'Cause the room is a monsoon, that's never gon′ get to drying
The storm is moving on, and you thinking these people lying
They saying they had it worse, but how come they all keep on smiling
Keep your head up is what they telling me (got to keep my head)
(It′s what they tell me) what it gotta be (well, it gotta be)
Sorry, but the world keeps stressing me (stressing me, stressing me)
Rain drops round up the memories (memories)
"It's gonna be alright" is what they telling me (that′s what they telling me)
Don't let the stress get the best of me
Trying to focus on the road that′s ahead of me (I got to focus on the road that's ahead of me)
′Til my brain gets cloudy 'bout a memory ('bout my memory)
Don′t let stress take control (yeah, yeah)
Gonna be alright, I know
I′ma make it through fa sho', fa sho′, yeah
Don't let stress take control
Gonna be alright, I know
I′ma make it through fa sho', fa sho′, yeah
Keep your head up is what they telling me (got to keep my head up)
What it gotta be (keep)
Sorry, but the world keeps stressing me (sorry, but the world keeps stressing me)
Rain drops round up the memories (clouded up my memories)
"It's gonna be alright" is what they telling me (yeah)
Don't let the stress get the best of me (don′t let the stress)
Trying to focus on the road that′s ahead of me (don't let the stress)
′Til my brain gets cloudy 'bout a memory (and my head get clouded by the memory, yeah)
Stressing me, stressing me, my memories
That′s what they telling me
I'm trying to focus on the road that′s ahead of me, yeah
By my memories, yeah, yeah
When it seems like nothing but dark clouds are raining in on your bright sunny day
Remember, the sunlight always comes after the rain
You should be thankful
Every day should be a celebration of life
