Rain - Lil Boosie

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
