Stormy Weather

Jehovah God, sitting here trying to figure out how we got to this point
Living in a world so bleak, trying to find hope in the hopeless
A wise man once told me that when we're dying, you see colors that you never seen before
That indeed death can be a beautiful thing
I guess one day we'll find out
We all find out

Young soldier, wasn't always kosher
History will show ya
Was once my enemy
High school days, time passed, distorted memories
Our destiny lead to what was meant to be
My brother found hope, a way to stay afloat by exporting weed
Make it out these Jamaica streets by any means
I hit you up, next thing we loading weed in cars and
You never took a dime from ya boy and
It's a long way we came from war and
Hope wasn't far and
Feeling like a star and
Then it all crashed
But we bounced back
Now New York is da scene
You and I still a team
Lost contact chasing cream
Years later, you hit me up wit da news
Having ya first born and da baby's coming soon
Having a celebration, was hoping if I could come through
I had to go hustle, I never made it
Next thing I know, my boy is incarcerated
Haven't heard from him since
If you're listening, farewell young prince

Stormy weather or free air, I'll be there
On da hustle from each year, I see it clear
Silent cries and dark nights, it's alright
Sparking weed all night, my heart cries
Black hoodies and black shoes, ain't got jewels
Stab wounds and tattoos, my heart's bruised
Elevated from the block to da top, smart move
Real thugz got hearts too

Walking down this lonely projects
No money, no friend, my pride's my only asset
Pouring liquor on my homies caskets
Kid's abused by holy pastors, such holy bastards
Listen to my cry, I can't take the pressure
My brother strapped and clapped, pronounced dead on stretcher
I deserve more but they gave me lesser
Don't let da crazies stress ya
There ain't no hope for a felon
Can't get no job so it's dope that we selling
And I cry for my brother, send mails to da jail that he dwell in
And my letter reads
Keep ya head up, stay strong cause we forever G's
I swear I'll never leave
I got ya son right next to me
If you die I'll raise him as my own, may your soul be forever free

Stormy weather or free air, I'll be there
On da hustle from each year, I see it clear
Silent cries and dark nights, it's alright
Sparking weed all night, my heart cries
Black hoodies and black shoes, ain't got jewels
Stab wounds and tattoos, my heart's bruised
Elevated from the block to da top, smart move
Real thugs got hearts too

My girl asked me if I really care
I asked why! She said she been going through some stuff
And I ain't never there
Life ain't never fair
But I love you baby girl, sorry if I cost you tears
I'm here with listening ears
Lately I been betrayed by my peers and I took it kinda hard
My best friend tried to send me to the morgue
She said for two months I been gone and we grew apart
So she turned to another nigga to mend her broken heart
I'm thinking this a joke, I'm having broken thoughts
Like a bullet to my heart
I asked her to call it off
She said she can't cause she's having his baby
Two weeks pregnant, thoughts in my head are driving me crazy
I gave you my heart and this how you repay me
Felt kinda torn cause she was hell of a lady
But I ain't mad though, ain't no love for thugs
Pac told me ain't no love for us
What happened to da love and trust

Stormy weather or free air, I'll be there
On da hustle from each year, I see it clear
Silent cries and dark nights, it's alright
Sparking weed all night, my heart cries
Black hoodies and black shoes, ain't got jewels
Stab wounds and tattoos, my heart's bruised
Elevated from the block to da top, smart move
Real thugs got hearts too

Just trying to keep hope alive
In a world full of spiritual pollution and spoken lies
Be smart, be vigilant
You can't believe everything that you hear
God works in mysterious ways, so does the devil
Many cold nights love have forsaken thee, reason why I'm a rebel
Dear God, can you hear my plea
Just lift me up and take me from where I be
It's a long journey home, a long journey indeed
May the grace of God be with us
May God be with us all
