And we been poor forever
No this rain ain't gon pour forever the sun gotta shine
Shade come first after its light
A young bull my life rose after the mic
And they won't there when I was rapping them nights I couldn't sleep good
Thoughts I wouldn't make it in life I couldn't eat good
Days I was looking to God to get my strength back
Or walked away from God not knowing how ima get back
On the real when ion feel God close to me
He either testing me or Ain praying how I pose to be
We been through hard times hard fights hard days hard nights we then had a hard life
But it showed me I can handle a lot
And Ain Willie Weatherspoon but I can handle the rock
Them hard times really make you or break you in a storm
Hard times really shape you or shake you on yo own
Hard times show who real and who faking
It was keeping me waiting, yeah it's hurting but it's teaching me patience
It was showing me that finding something real be a hard find
Cause youn know the real from fake until them hard times
Tough times bad times when them bills late
It got real hard we was having real faith
And I just prayed I can't tell you how a pill taste
And we ain't never starve but we ain't never had a real plate
We won't the brokest but we never had real cake
Me and bro was splitting 7 dollars and we still ate
And this way before he knew I could rap
He was giving me a hand before he knew I could snap
And way before they ever knew me as jack
They was saying they would stand with the kid but I knew it was Cap
And we been living off the scraps still poor forever
No this rain ain't gon pour forever
I got on my two feet ain laying on the floor forever
My hand hurt cause we been knocking on this door forever
And they won't there when I was rapping them nights I couldn't sleep good
Thoughts I wouldn't make it in life I couldn't eat good
Days I was looking to God to get my strength back
Or walked away from God not knowing how ima get back
On the real when ion feel God close to me
He either testing me or Ain praying how I pose to be
And when it rain plant a sesame
Test that was testing me
Stress still stressing me
God still blessing me, rapping only showing them the best of me
God still working on the rest of me
Walking through the valley of death he stand next to me
I know he riding when I look he right beside me
When I was in them hard times
I was writing hard rhymes
Never hide my war wounds, I'm letting my scars shine
And we been poor forever
With the devil this a war forever
And I gotta shine
In hard times used to wrestle with my self
Now I pray cause I can't beat the devil by myself
And God was dere when I was rapping them nights I couldn't sleep good
Thoughts I wouldn't make it in life I couldn't eat good
Days I was looking to him to get my strength back
Or turnt my back on em not knowing how ima get back
On the real when ion feel God close to me
He either testing me or ain praying how I'm pose to be
