(feat. Erica Foxx)



[Silkk talking:]

Yo, this for all my people stuck, who ain't gotta choice,I ain't forgot

About yall, I'm comin' back for yall uhn huh, never let 'em tell you

What you can & can't do, look I know they tried to tell me



[Silkk]

Growin' up I never really had much

An if I had it was bad, if I ever had luck

An searchin' tryna come up, tryna get a fast buck

Had so many doors I could of ran into but I past up

In tha middle of tha ghetto not knowin' it's bad

He was gone most of tha time, never really knowin' my dad

Seen death at a young age, learned to expect that

Tell me I was never gonna be nothin', I learn to accept that

I only knew life, never knew death til' my grandmother left here

It was confusion not to see her, just see pictures on tha dresser

All I knew was smiles, I never knew what cryin' was

I only knew tha truth, I never knew what lyin' was

I only knew livin', I never knew what dyin' was

I never knew what a funeral & why everybody was cryin' & hugs

Standin' on tha block all night just tryin' to define love

Growin' up in a place where it really wasn't designed for us

I could of been born son of a queen

Instead I was born son of a maid, forced to leave sons kids wit fiends

Never could undestand why they done these things

Why everybody smile when she there, left they become so mean

Until I gre up & realized there was nobody else

You need help you gotta do it yoself(that's real)



[Chorus: Silkk] (Erica Foxx)]

There's always sunshine after tha rain

(Hold on, you gota have faith & be strong)

There's always happiness after tha pain

(Hold on, just hold on)

After tha saddiness it's always laughter

(Hold on, just hold on)

No matter how bad it might look todat, it's always a day after

(Hold on, just hold on)

I know it's tough, sometimes it might be rough

(Hold on, you gota have faith & be strong)

No matter how bad it looks always keep yo head up

(Hold on, just hold on)

No matter what happen just be strong

(Hold on, just hold on)

I know sometimes it feel like you slippin' but just hold on



[Silkk]

I had good memories & bad, tryna hold on to tha good

tuck in tha ghetto yall just tryna see past tha hood

Watchin' my mom come home all tired

Picture we livin' check to check & look she just got fired

ryna be strong don't want tha kids to see her cry

I seen tha reflection thru tha mirror wipin' tears from her eyes

Seen tha lights get cut off, tha water, & plus tha rent due

Must of been some kinda test all tha things we went thru

But I figured they can't stop what's meant to be

An if it's real then we'll make it look eventually

Now look at ya son, now I'm all grown

They said I'd never amount to nothin', look I done proved 'em wrong



[Chorus: x2]



[Silkk talking & (Erica Foxx singin')]

(No matter what's goin' on, you gotta have faith & be strong

No matter what's goin' on, just hold on, just hold on) [x10]



There's always gonna be sunshine, no matter what happens there's always

Gon' be a way out I know from experience, hold on, everybody hold on

I'm gonna save all my people uhn huh, uhn huh, uhn huh so hold on yall
