[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]
