[Silkk talking:]
|
Yo, this for all my people stuck, who ain't gotta choice,I ain't forgot
|
About yall, I'm comin' back for yall uhn huh, never let 'em tell you
|
What you can & can't do, look I know they tried to tell me
|
|
[Silkk]
|
Growin' up I never really had much
|
An if I had it was bad, if I ever had luck
|
An searchin' tryna come up, tryna get a fast buck
|
Had so many doors I could of ran into but I past up
|
In tha middle of tha ghetto not knowin' it's bad
|
He was gone most of tha time, never really knowin' my dad
|
Seen death at a young age, learned to expect that
|
Tell me I was never gonna be nothin', I learn to accept that
|
I only knew life, never knew death til' my grandmother left here
|
It was confusion not to see her, just see pictures on tha dresser
|
All I knew was smiles, I never knew what cryin' was
|
I only knew tha truth, I never knew what lyin' was
|
I only knew livin', I never knew what dyin' was
|
I never knew what a funeral & why everybody was cryin' & hugs
|
Standin' on tha block all night just tryin' to define love
|
Growin' up in a place where it really wasn't designed for us
|
I could of been born son of a queen
|
Instead I was born son of a maid, forced to leave sons kids wit fiends
|
Never could undestand why they done these things
|
Why everybody smile when she there, left they become so mean
|
Until I gre up & realized there was nobody else
|
You need help you gotta do it yoself(that's real)
|
|
[Chorus: Silkk] (Erica Foxx)]
|
There's always sunshine after tha rain
|
(Hold on, you gota have faith & be strong)
|
There's always happiness after tha pain
|
(Hold on, just hold on)
|
After tha saddiness it's always laughter
|
(Hold on, just hold on)
|
No matter how bad it might look todat, it's always a day after
|
(Hold on, just hold on)
|
I know it's tough, sometimes it might be rough
|
(Hold on, you gota have faith & be strong)
|
No matter how bad it looks always keep yo head up
|
(Hold on, just hold on)
|
No matter what happen just be strong
|
(Hold on, just hold on)
|
I know sometimes it feel like you slippin' but just hold on
|
|
[Silkk]
|
I had good memories & bad, tryna hold on to tha good
|
tuck in tha ghetto yall just tryna see past tha hood
|
Watchin' my mom come home all tired
|
Picture we livin' check to check & look she just got fired
|
ryna be strong don't want tha kids to see her cry
|
I seen tha reflection thru tha mirror wipin' tears from her eyes
|
Seen tha lights get cut off, tha water, & plus tha rent due
|
Must of been some kinda test all tha things we went thru
|
But I figured they can't stop what's meant to be
|
An if it's real then we'll make it look eventually
|
Now look at ya son, now I'm all grown
|
They said I'd never amount to nothin', look I done proved 'em wrong
|
|
[Chorus: x2]
|
|
[Silkk talking & (Erica Foxx singin')]
|
(No matter what's goin' on, you gotta have faith & be strong
|
No matter what's goin' on, just hold on, just hold on) [x10]
|
|
There's always gonna be sunshine, no matter what happens there's always
|
Gon' be a way out I know from experience, hold on, everybody hold on
|
I'm gonna save all my people uhn huh, uhn huh, uhn huh so hold on yall
