[Verse 1] Give me joy, give me violence Give me noise, give me silence Hear my voice, feel my torment But don't rejoice, when I lay dormant America, told me what I should feel And there it was to my surprise I learned that nothing's real And those clouds only come out when it rains So don't get too comfortable, just stand there and take even if you gotta fake it [Hook] They told me to stay for the kids, so I did They say love's only meant for the happy ones So why do I feel like this? Don't call a quits, stay for the kids But what we gonna do when they grow up Stay for the kids But what we gonna do when they grow up Turn the lights on [Verse 2] She say she love a n***a, she say she love a n***a But if you f** up, she gon' go and f** another n***a You wanna hate her, but you feel too deep in love with her Now you got kids by it, and you know bloods thicker No longer doing things that we once did Eyes rolling, attitude over dumb sh** Direct deposit, you be smiling when the funds hit For a second, then you bringing up that one b**h Yeah I hit it, I'll admit it Yeah, yeah I did it, when I shoulda been committed The gloved fitted, so I would not be acquitted Sentenced to d**h to us apart, who's fault is it? And those clouds only come out when it rains I just hope I get a couple of visits So don't get too comfortable Just stand there and take even if you gotta fake it [Hook]
