Jottin on yellow page manuscript
Man I flipped travesty for triumph
In hard times defiant
Relying on my kinfolk and poem writing
My vision froze like cold eyelids on both iris
Hear pain in my voice, hear the knowledge
Wisdom only comes from knowing you just a novice
Improvised flows and cash grows up from it
Smooth ebonics fucking with shorty cus she do it how I want it
This dude's logic is flawed
How I cut the flow like some blow got em clenching they jaw
I'm really that raw
Made money stretch but sometimes wanna get up and ball
I ain't up in the malls I like stores with the name written up on the walls
Showed her a glimpse of the life but she wasn't involved
She had to dip at times I think I might be doing too much
And you can't stop the rain
And you can't stop the sunshine
No you can't stop the rain
But you can't stop the sunshine either
No you can't stop the rain
And you can't stop the sunshine
No you can't stop the rain
But you can't stop the sunshine either
And I know its only temporary so I'm keeping receipts
Getting over this depression ain't been easy but each
Day I wanna make a break through I'm learning to teach
That things that we desire don't always come when we need
And what we think we want isn't always the key
Learning to be happy just because I can breathe
Something in the sky let's me know that I'm free
And that soil under foot is the home we all keep
Only an optimist because I know it gets deep
I know it gets hard I know to just weep
Letting the tears stream as I stood in the sun
Wanting you to be here with me but I can't be the one
Strength only comes from failing and I ain't done
If you tired of starting over gotta stop giving up
And you can't stop the rain
And you can't stop the sunshine
No you can't stop the rain
But you can't stop the sunshine either
No you can't stop the rain
And you can't stop the sunshine
No you can't stop the rain
But you can't stop the sunshine either
If you tired of starting over
Then stop giving up
Crumblin' the herb
I been spilling my guts
Just chillin' with my bitch
Chillin' with my bitch today
