Testo: Lil Boosie. Incarcerated. Rain.
I lost my daddy at 14
(14 years old)
Lost Trell at 12, life in jail
Ain't it funny how the money makes you
Separate the real and fake?
I started off small-time victim of the game
A Monte Carlo to a Bentley and a diamond ring
I got fame but, man, my whole world changed
Some niggas left me in the rain, my girls changed
They changed on me, I thought I got lucky
200 G's took my grandmother from me
I hit my knees
(Why lord?)
I tried syrup, I tried weed, I couldn't cope, nigga
Head down, cryin' tears at the hospital
A broken home, tried to get my hustle on
Nigga killed Lil Ivy, my soul gone
I bought my mama a house, she cried instantly
All that shinin' got my niggas in penitentiary
I can clearly see the sunshine
But I'm steady walkin' through the rain
I can clearly see the sunshine
But I'm steady walkin' through the rain
Still got hatred in the city after all that we done did
All the toy, giveaways, school clothes and things
Even for Easter, givin' the kids bikes
And for that they ain't cryin' up Carrollton, now that ain't right
We still smile though 'cause of the sunshine
Wonder what I'd do if I could press rewind
I'd have seen and I'd have both sides of the field
The best of both worlds and, yeah, I'm for real
Mama got seven kids, well, pops, I stand alone
I'm walkin' through the rain but still I move on
I just started, so right now I'm far from done
I keep movin' on until I see the full sun
Patiently waitin' but the best is still yet to come
I guess things happen for a reason when it's said and done
Say, Lil B, keep your head up, just take a seat, bra
Keep your faith in God 'cause he the one who lay at us
I can clearly see the sunshine
But I'm steady walkin' through the rain
I can clearly see the sunshine
But I'm steady walkin' through the rain
Diabetes steady eatin' my insides
Fuckin' my vision up, I swear to God I feel like givin' up
Sometimes I'm laughin' with my money machine
But they tryin' to put me on dialysis machine
IVs in my arms, I know I'm doin' wrong
No insurance back to early can't long
Bein' a daddy, only thing that make me happy
I'm tired of gettin' sick same thing for young savage
I try to do right and help my community
Police still kickin' at my door, dirty motherfuckers
You probably think I got the world in my hands
But really, dog, I got the world on my shoulders
When I look at your son, I see your face, homie
(Lil Ivy)
Everybody pray for me 'cause they hatin' on me
Wish I could take it all back sometimes
Truth is I don't even like to rap sometimes
I can clearly see the sunshine
But I'm steady walkin' through the rain
I can clearly see the sunshine
But I'm steady walkin' through the rain
