Rain Hail or Shine by POETIK Lyrics
[Intro: POETIK]
Check, yo
[Verse 1: POETIK]
Baby, I know you goin' through some hard times like it's you against the world
So providin' for your two boys and plus your baby girl
Baby daddy ain't around no more, he doin' time
[?] said, "Don't hold your breath 'cause he lookin' to serve a nine"
That's a long time to stay strong or raise a family solo
Especially when your income is solo
And then come the home loan bills stackin' up, it ain't no tellin'
You out here tryna nuy time, ain't no one sellin'
Benefit livin' ain't really livin' at all
Got you barely feedin' them kids and yet you starve
Say you waitin' on that welfare cheque, till then you're stuck
Meanwhile your kids freezin' at night from power cuts
Y'all used to get around in your family van
Till along came that repo man
Now you walkin' them miles holdin' your five-year-old's hand
Pushin' a stroller gettin' harder so you pray to Jehovah
Stay strong for them kids, keepin' your tears undercover
It's a cold-ass world though it seems even colder on solo mothers
I heard it through the vine and I feel your pain
Just keep your head up, believe that there will be better days
If whenever you need a friend, you got love in mine
Always got time for my ghetto sisters, rain, hail or shine
[Chorus: POETIK]
When the days seem too dark and clouds take over the sky
Best believe I'ma hold you down (Rain, hail or shine)
Though stormy weather might keep us from being together
You are close to my heart forever (Rain, hail or shine)
[Verse 2: POETIK]
I dedicate this to my uso in the fast lane
They do a lot of shit together in the past, mayne
I mean, before the rap fame, before the tattoos
We was skippin' school, sippin' brew, pullin' jack moves, yeah, that's right
Used to bail out the crib and run the streets at night
Weapon concealin' in case of a plot for stealin' and bottle-poppin' with women
That's all we wanted to do, is live that thug life
Soon as we hit up New Zealand, that was the drug life
Bitches, they came and went; most of the time we follow
'Member them fine ones? Most of the time, they swallow
Remember sippin', swervin', ridin' till we see tomorrow?
And never givin' a fuck just like our heart was hollow
Though time has passed, these memories won't ever leave us
Believe it when I say, "It ain't nothin' but time between us"
I know you goin' through a hustle and the stackin' ends
I often wonder if you spendin' time with your twins
I pray you get that blessing, I mean it from my heart
I pray the Lord shines a light to guide you out the dark
And when you need a friend, my brother drop a line
I'm always here for you, rain, hail or shine
[Chorus: POETIK]
When the days seem too dark and clouds take over the sky
Best believe I'ma hold you down (Rain, hail or shine)
Though stormy weather might keep us from being together
You are close to my heart forever (Rain, hail or shine)
Seems like the change ain't gon' come
After the dark fades is when you see the sun
And when you feelin' numb from the pain, weary through hard times
Keep in mind, I'm still down with you (Rain, hail or shine)
[Outro: Ratz]
Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh, child, things will get brighter
Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh, child, things will get brighter
Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh, child, things will get brighter
Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh, child, things will get brighter
Check, yo
