Jelly Roll - After The Rain Lyrics

Yeah
Somebody once told me
Sun always comes up after the storm
Another wise man said every storm runs out of rain
It's been cats and dogs over here for a long time buddy

Man, it's like music to my ears
It's oozing at me, we been doing this for years
Make a movie about me next in line, somehow I got left behind
Trying to make it out this game but cannot find the exit sign
Don't understand why these critics can't respect my mind
Or respect the fact I put my heart inside of every line
I hate these rappers, all the words that they be saying
They take a story they see and they exaggerate it
I try to keep my cool but it's kinda aggregated
And I'm just trying to make it, I ain't never had an application
For no regular job, I'm just a felon at heart
Ask me how I'm made it and I have to tell 'em it's hard
Cause I still ain't made it, every time that I'm supposed to blow
End up with the sliver every time I try to go for gold
I got these problems on my heart, I feel like no one knows
I hope the lord will come and save a fucking hopeless soul

Man, we been through so much pain
But the sun shines after the rain
(Shines after the rain)
Lord, I try not to complain
Cause the sun shines after the rain
(Shines after the rain)
Everyday another piece of me dies
And I don't even understand why
I don't understand why
I even wake up and I try
Cause you ain't even looking through my eyes
So don't judge me

Order up a dozen roses, set them on all on fire
For the girl who loved me but I just pushed to the side
The only thing is worse then a headache is a toothache
Only thing worst then lost love is when it's too late
But it's a new day and I missed yesterday
Turn on my country playlist and I just let it play
Let the windows down, rolling down a lonely street
Thinking to myself, tears rolling down my cheek
Life is a gamble so I'm rolling the dice
I put money before what's important in life
So I'm in my zone like a confused little man
Walking around with a fucking phone glued to my hand
Even when I'm with my daughter I'm still talking bidness
And then I wonder why she don't wanna play or listen
Became a zombie, can't even have a conversation
Without it turning into a confrontation, man

Man, we been through so much pain
But the sun shines after the rain
(Shines after the rain)
Lord, I try not to complain
Cause the sun shines after the rain
(Shines after the rain)
Everyday another piece of me dies
And I don't even understand why
I don't understand why
I even wake up and I try
Cause you ain't even looking through my eyes
So don't judge me

I told stoner maybe I should do some Christian rap
Then I hit up Le Cray but he ain't hit me back
So I left the studio, went and hit the trap
Way before I spit these raps I was really spitting packs
Some days I wish that I could move and try something new
Maybe one day come along and find someone who
Will love me regardless of my past
When I live fast and not only care about the cash
Living life in the dash, took my daughter to the movies
A group of strangers came walking up and talking to me
This must be that fame thing but this is just a glimpse
I don't mean to sound rude but I don't like this shit
But then they told me that my cd was banging
And they said that I encouraged them to really start changing
It's funny how my mood and my view
Could make 'em feel like me and make me feel like you
For real

You know it's crazy
Tomorrow's not promise to us
Shines after the rain
Yet we're so blind to see
So blind to acknowledge
So scared to acknowledge the fact of death is constant
And it's the only thing in life that were actually guaranteed
Don't you think you should spend a little more time
Dealing with the only thing we know were guaranteed?
Second chances ain't promised baby
They're a gift
Regardless of what we go through
Hold your head up
And put God first
Faith of a mustard seed can move a mountain
