I'm used to cloudy days full of rainin'
But it's something about today I feel it changin'
So I'm lacing up my shoes, preparing for the new
Swear I'm not gon' sing the blues today.
I've been around the way. A lot of painin'
Again I just fell down today it had me strainin'
But will I slip, like I'm used to, or pick myself up through
And do it? Guess what Im'a choose today
Sometimes I feel like giving up, inside I feel like nothin'
Wanna cry, but I can't break down. Gotta keep my tough skin
Got some problems. Time to solve 'em no more runnin' from 'em
No more losses. I won't take 'em. Time I won me somethin'
Still I wonder why my team, who had a dream, went flat and
I wonder why my ace done took a fall like that
I wanna change some things I know I can't take back
And I wanna be the one to overcome all that
I wanna see the face of my unborn
Know you're in a better place I couldn't want more
Gotta brother on the way that's all we want for ya'
So I gotta seize the day, we won't go under
And money's tight but we're alright. I got a plan
Ima pull it all together and get up and make a stand
Through the stormy weather, through whatever, through the hand
That I've been dealt I make the best of it but still I'm just a man
I'm used to cloudy days full of rainin'
But it's something about today I feel it changin'
So I'm lacing up my shoes, preparing for the new
Swear I'm not gon' sing the blues today.
I've been around the way. A lot of painin'
Again I just fell down today it had me strainin'
But will I slip, like I'm used to, or pick myself up through
And do it? Guess what Im'a choose today
Turned and I tossed all night, thinkin' 'bout yesterday
Can't keep goin' on this way. Woke up got a lot to change
Shame how it got this way. Feels like I've lost my way
Maybe gotta stop my ways, badda boom, badda bing, rock bottom today
Got a lot of hate, but I can't let it blind me, though I feel like givin' up some times
What happens to me can't let that confine me
How I get back up, that's what defines me
So I keep on pushin'. Determination drippin' in my I.V.
Prayin' to the man upstairs for courage to take me as far as my mind sees
If I can dream it then I can achieve it. I'm tryna believe it
But when everything and everyone is leavin'
It seems like I'm doin' it all for no reason
Even when it's hard to keep breathin' I keep on grindin' every single season
I keep on smilin' even when it ain't easy
One day my momma gonna see me on tv
And one day I hope
All of my fallen angels are arose
All of people get up off of dope
No more them overdosin' tryna cope
Birthdays and holidays not in the pen,
Losing so much we don't know how to win
Missing our kids growing up in the system
And livin' without any love will it end
I'm used to cloudy days full of rainin'
But it's something about today I feel it changin'
So I'm lacing up my shoes, preparing for the new
Swear I'm not gon' sing the blues today
I've been around the way. A lot of painin'
Again I just fell down today it had me strainin'
But will I slip, like I'm used to, or pick myself up through
And do it? Guess what Im'a choose today
