City of Tyrone - Weather the Storm Charles (feat. Breana Marin) Lyrics

I know I was built for this Sh*t
I know that I came equip to
Weather any storm
(Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah Yeah)
I know I was built for this Sh*t
(This sh*t yeah)
I know that I came equip to
Weather any storm
So please don't start to doubt me now

Broken glass on the street
Reckless alcoholic
Said he would quit last month
But addiction got em
Lived in a house
That my grandfather left vacant
Broken opportunities
Sometimes he slept naked
Drugs filling up his belly
He no longer hunger
Couldn't remember
Last time he lusted for a woman
No electric in the house
Not a drop of water
If it wasn't for the drugs
He'd died a martyr
Laying on the floor
Silent never made a noise
Seeing visions of his father
Made em drink more
What if the choices that he made
As a young boy
To help him later in life
The storms he could avoid
I heard stories
He was balling as a young man
Body builder type of body
Kept a couple grand
What decision cause the shift
Made it come to this
A bunch of brothers and sisters
Nobody came to assist

I know I was built for this Sh*t
I know that I came equip to
Weather any storm
(Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah Yeah)
I know I was built for this Sh*t
(This sh*t yeah)
I know that I came equip to
Weather any storm
So please don't start to doubt me now

See with the drugs
It will cause you to no longer eat
After a hit you go to sleep
And then it all repeats
Amount of days to stay alive
Is only 14
If you don't drink
Plus you don't eat anything
Member I said
That the drugs
Would suppress his hunger
See Physically he was starving
Mentally he wonders
It was Day 13
And he was feeling weak
Thought he needed fresh air
Or some more sleep
Went to the porch
Passed out
Neighbor saw em laying
That's when his family
Got the news
Then they start praying
In the hospital bed
It wasn't looking good
Lot of devices on his brain
Blood in his wombs
But he had a strong mother
And she prayed for him
As she softly walks away
And let the Lord handle
He got a second chance at life
What's the outcome
Wish he had the Lords umbrella
For this major storm

I know I was built for this Sh*t
I know that I came equip to
Weather any storm
(Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah Yeah)
I know I was built for this Sh*t
(This sh*t yeah)
I know that I came equip to
Weather any storm
So please don't start to doubt me now

My mother told me
His recovery's miraculous
Because it gotta be a God
The way I saw him laying
He started talking, started walking
Slowly day to Day
Before u know it
He was seeing sunny Brighter days
Said he was done with the drugs
And the living foul
Assisted living
Got em even living better now
But here's the catch
The devil lived right down the street
That same house with the demons
Was in walking distance
He would fight it everyday
Devil speaking to em
But he was living on his own
And there's freedom to it
1 time he took a hit
See ain't nothing happen
Since he was sober
Made that first hit so amazing
Over reacting walking naked
Round some other elders
It wasn't long
Till we all noticed that it got em
3rd Hit was his final
God ends the chapter
Rest In Peace Uncle Charles
Wicked streets got em

I know I was built for this Sh*t
I know that I came equip to
Weather any storm
(Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah Yeah)
I know I was built for this Sh*t
(This sh*t yeah)
I know that I came equip to
Weather any storm
So please don't start to doubt me now
