[Intro: Z-Mane]
I've seen too many cloudy days, tell me when it's sunny
I like to the see the green, but I'm not just talking money
And ain't it funny how you think got a true friend?
Soon as you get green, but when it's gone, then it all ends
Then they leave your life forever
You're wondering, hey, when they're ever coming back, probably never
Give me sunshine, I'll even settle for rain
Because I'm tired of these cloudy days
(Aaliyah Ford....Z-Mane.)
[Verse 1: Z-Mane]
Look, it seemed like a journey in my lifetime
Wanted to know if I was cool enough to write rhymes
My older cousins did it, so I had to try it out
But when they was at the top, I was still about 2 miles south
Impressed my homies with my flow, but some of them was hating
They see the popularity rise and they're appreciating
Man, it's funny how money can change a man
They hate you, then they love you, you lose some green, then they hate you again
The forecast got my mood feeling bad
Can't even look up in the sky without it making me mad
And it's sad some of these n***as sell out just for the fame
Forget their girl and their homies, even disrespect their family name
I wonder if a storm is coming soon
This Davis wolf ain't feeling right, that's why I'm howling at the moon
But y'all don't understand, someone call the weatherman
And tell them hit me up when sunshine hits the land
Naw I'm saying?
[Hook: Aaliyah Ford]
I know it may seem bad right now
Even though I wanna cry, I always seem to smile
And I know one day it's gon' be okay
Someone take these cloudy days away
[Verse 2: Aaliyah Ford]
Sometimes I just wanna cry (Cry...)
And then I look up to the sky (Sky...)
I get down on my knees, I beg and I plead
Lord, please just make it right (Right...)
I use to think my life was bad (Was bad...)
But I was lucky to have what I had
My grandma always said, "It's gon' be okay."
But I seen too many cloudy days!
Yeah-yeah
[Hook]
[Bridge: Aaliyah Ford + Z-Mane adlibs]
Can I get a little sunshine?
Someone just tell me...it will be fine
And now I'm gonna pray, I know it's gon' be okay
Someone please take these cloudy days away
[Hook]
