In the rain I met him underneath his umbrella
Waiting for the train, wise words sharp fella
Said I had a smile that could really use his help
Funny feelin' that I never really felt, he could read me
I was uneasy, feelin' like n***as did me greasy
But it seemed nobody believed me…
Plus I'm dealin' with my grandmother's cancer
Don't ask for sh** 'cause you won't like my answer
I thought I hid it, he saw right through it
Said never get over things, walk through it
I ain't crazy is how he made it seem
When he told me that's the trouble with a queen living dreams out
Let the seams out…..gotta make it fit for you
We hit the train station, said this is it for you…
Said thanks for keeping me dry and he replied
I know the world is dark but to keep the light inside
Living this life ain't always what it seems to be but
Keep your head up
Do what you gotta do take a deep breath in, lemme see the fighter
We pray for love
We pray for love
We pray love
And my goal is to make every day feel like Sunday morning
Cops said there was a shootin' in the park we be at
They got Super in the leg, 4 year old in the back
Same park we took my godson, how crazy is that?
We was just there...swear it's unfair
We here, but they don't wanna know what we about
They put condos in the hood, they kicked all my n***as out
We shootin' for our dreams hear the bullets ringin' out?
That's what we 'bout when the block is getting hotter 'cause a lot of n***as gone
bu*tons on our fitteds RIPs on our arms
Unhealthy kids eatin' unlucky charms
Tryna shake away the vision of a body on they lawn
So gone, city got my sippin' out the bottle
Tryna play my role not worried bout role model
And every time I'm headed out door all I hear
Is my momma's voice ringin' in my ear hella clear sayin'
Living this life ain't always what it seems to be but
Keep your head up
Do what you gotta do take a deep breath in, lemme see the fighter
We pray for love
We pray for love
We pray love
And my goal is to make every day feel like Sunday morning
She said my daddy used to beat me like a habit
Used a wooden broom til one day I just grabbed it
Put it to his neck, and screamed I just had it
Temper getting shorter, how could you do this to your daughter?
That sick sh** like, how could he record her?
Once a dime now she givin' quickies for a quarter
Never mind all the teddy bears n***as bought her
On her own, grown frontin' like you can't afford her
Yo you never know (uh-uh) maybe one day
She gon learn that life ain't always a runway
'Cause Looks to these crooks is somethin' like gunplay
They co*k back and spray whateva chick in the way
But hey…you can go see it for yourself
But if you gon' be it, you should be it for yourself
Never giving up like they taught me to
I might fall a couple times but I'm walking through
'Cause I'm
Living this life ain't always what it seems to be but
Keep your head up
Do what you gotta do take a deep breath in, lemme see the fighter
We pray for love
We pray for love
We pray love
And my goal is to make every day feel like Sunday morning
