Rob "Cleva" Lightbourne - Cloudy Days lyrics

Yo. Somebody told me that it never rains in southern California. sh**. All I've seen was cloudy days. Every day... For real. Verse: Some n---as love to dream but I woke up too many times With a dollar bill in my pocket, a couple quarters and dimes So while you're sleeping I'ma stay on the grind Too much money's often spent in time, listen to the rhyme Of this mastermind deserted as a ba*tard I'm No longer living I'm just pa**ing time By slow survival strictly by what I know With times more colder than the wind in Chicago As I grow into a man like a seed to a plant I look back on all my deeds in this land My reasons for scheming with heat in my hand Was necessity far from simple greed of a man I'll never lie and say the devil made me do it I simply seen the option and decided to pursue it Wishing for better days in this game of life Trying to avoid being hit by it's pain and strife Try to believe... Chorus: Somehow. Someway I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days Navigating my way through time and space Desperately trying to find my place I try to believe Somehow. Someway I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days Navigating my way through time and space Praying everything will be okay... I try to believe Verse: It's all a dream and I'll wake up soon Up in my room bout a quarter to noon with one of my tunes going "boom" But as for now I resume Being stuck in a nightmare since I jumped out the womb Women a**ume that they can calm the stress Figuring I'm in need of some pa**ionate s** But never the less I'm restless and can't sleep at night With this woman trying to hold me tight From midnight to sunlight eyes wide open In the next room expressing pain soft words spoken I'm in need of a**istance cause drama's consistent And it seems existence is persistent I know my destiny eventually is rest in peace Though I have tendencies to wish my body temp degrees Would simply freeze just so I could be at ease Dreams of a legacy propel me to proceed and believe Chorus: Somehow. Someway I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days Navigating my way through time and space Desperately trying to find my place I try to believe Somehow. Someway I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days Navigating my way through time and space Praying everything will be okay... I try to believe Verse: But yet this world turns one more time Mama telling me baby one day the sun goin' shine But as 3, 6, 5 is multiplied by my 23rd It's harder now to trust every word that I've heard The hurt I've observed on this earth giving birth Once again to nerve to do dirt cause to work 9 - 5 to survive for some jerk who's goin' smirk Simply cause he feel his dirty drawers got more worth I can't do it. If an armored truck were headed For a cliff with a million I'd rather pursue it Chasing my dream to the d**h last breath Taken in the process of progress is how I wanna go As opposed monotonous getting by, getting old Laying back at 86 and releasing my soul I'm no longer anticipating a better way Mama I'm goin' be the son that shine through these cloudy days Chorus: Somehow. Someway I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days Navigating my way through time and space Desperately trying to find my place I try to believe Somehow. Someway I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days Navigating my way through time and space Praying everything will be okay... I try to believe (x2)
