I was sitting back and I was thinking man   I ain't even trying to deal with this shit no more you know   Cham' I don't know what to do yo, ya know   Seem like every time a nigga make one step man   Nigga 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 gat      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, you feeling like giving up   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 tithes 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 what it better be   Sorry but the world keeps stressing me   Rain drops round up the memories      It's gonna be alright is 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   Till my brain gets clouded by the memory      God knows, how I feel now   On the outside I'm smiling but inside a nigga know he hell bound   It's a dark road and I'm right here in the middle of it   Do I walk slow or if I run am I'm missing something      I took the time out to save a little bread   Now my eyes, got water in 'em   Why the fuck am I still standing here   Nobody love 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 gun      End it all, put a stop to the pain   That goes on in my head every time it rains   The Devil speaking so you listening to the thoughts   Of an evil spirit in demonic verses and every time I talk      I'm confused by my psychological set backs   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      Well keep your head up   Is what they telling me what it better be   Sorry but the world keeps stressing me   Rain drops round up the memories      It's gonna be alright is 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   Till my brain gets clouded by the memory      Your bills keep adding up to be alone you prefer   Bill collectors steady calling, starting to get on your nerves   Your rent due on the first but right now it's the third   Telling yourself it's gon' get better but ain't believing a word      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   Tell me it isn't so, tell me it isn't 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 partna      Could 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      Well keep your head up   Is what they telling me what it better be   Sorry but the world keeps stressing me   Rain drops round up the memories      It's gonna be alright is 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   Till my brain gets clouded by the memory      Don't let stress take control, 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 what it better be   Sorry but the world keeps stressing me   Rain drops round up the memories      It's gonna be alright is 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   Till my brain gets clouded by the memory      My memory, hey 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   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 everyday, should be a celebration, of life
