After All

(Verse 1)

....Sometimes I lose sleep/
I'm tryna pull myself together, but I feel weak/
I'm sinking in my thoughts, and that quick sands deep/
Change in my pocket tryna make it through the week, ...my family gotta eat/
The only time you're gonna hear me vent is on the beat/
Cause my pride is one of the hardest things to defeat/
I hearing all the whispers, but they ain't talking to me/
Cause I never been the type to put my business in the street/
I praying that my words mean something to the same people that I'm tryna reach/
Show em that you have to stand on your 2 feet/
The ones that leave the kitchen when the...stove turn on and they feel a little heat/

(Hook)

After all, no matter what
Yes you can make it, no matter what
I know times are rough
And times are tough
But no matter what
You can make it After all

(Verse 2)

You gotta keep going/
...It may hurt for the night, but best believe joyeth cometh in the morning/
It's hard and i know it, cause i feel yo pain/
You wanna fight you wanna call people outta they name/
When other people have a problem you're the person you blame/
You give love, but it seems you ain't getting the same/
Don't quit, stay prayed up and keep trying/
Be the hardest worker even if your company is downsizing/
Just talk to God and tell em what you need/
I promise..Talking to you, but really it's for me/
I've been doing what I can, but the times changing/
So much deaf around me, been thinking bout taking up sign language/

(Verse 3)

I'm not perfect Lord help me/
Please let my unborn child come out healthy/
Please let the storm be over..., keep my family blessed/
....The devil under my feet, I'm steppin right on his neck/
They don't care about the poor...tryna start wars/
A whole city flooding and they're locking all the doors/
Category 3 both on and off shore/
A True definition of...when it rains it pours/
I'm tryna do my best, enduring all the test/
Giving it all to God and releasing all the stress/
That quick picker upper help me clean up all my mess/
There's some things that i really had to get up off my chest /
