With the 28th installment of “Mean Mondays”, R-Mean shows his resilience and positivity in the darkest of situations over a The Godfather. sample. Using the “black clouds” as a metaphor for life’s hardships and religious undertones to convey how Mean overcomes his struggles, the song is an ode to pe...
[Verse 1]
I seen the closest of friends turn to the worst of my enemies
Turn their identities over
Hearts turnin' steadily cold and energy bold
And remedies never be sold
But Hennessy does, devil be sellin' they souls
'Til I feel the venom, I feel the hate that's within 'em
Became a savage, afraid to average
I'm breakin' habits, these new beginnin's
God is my witness
Had to fuck up and start facin' my fears
I learned there ain't no fuckin' elevators in life
Now the only way up is the stairs
Rise like the sun, ain't no shadows where they shinin', no sun
Shinin' together
Problem is I be a prominent legend, a problem forever
So when will I die? Probably never
Poppin' my shit, then I'm backin' it up like I'm Conor McGregor
Homie too real, too honest, too clever
Too much to handle for you to confront
Too low for me, dog, I'm high and I'm drunk
I ain't gon' stoop to your level
Motherfuckers really roaches like the end of the blunt
Pass me the J, pass me that green
Natural fiend, out-shadow your dreams like Xannies and leans
Battle these demons, dog, this beef is never endin'
But today the sun rise like Jesus resurrection
[Chorus]
Through these black clouds
Catch me shinin' through these black clouds
That's why they callin' me the risin' sun
'Cause I be shinin' through these black clouds
So catch me shinin' through these black clouds
I keep on shinin' through these black clouds
That's why they callin' me the risin' sun
'Cause I be shinin' through these black clouds
[Verse 2]
Let go of fear that was holdin' me down
The spirits of doubt that's alive at the back of my mind
I see the future so bright
I was stuck in the past like I'm travellin' back into time
I'm gonna shine, person to find
But how he's gon' handle the darkest of times
How you gon' handle the darkest of times?
I can feel tonight a fight's brewin'
When the bring the bright lights to him
I don't care, the storm is out
How dark the clouds, I'ma shine right through 'em
Lemme kill a mic like Yun
Lemme kill a verse like the Bible
Want me to [?] dash PTG
These 3 birds my disciples
But I feel a Judas kiss
Man 'cause life is truly twisted
I feel I live a Quentin Tarantino movie script
I was really 'bout to lose my grip
Lemme show you how to do this shit
That jealous looks ugly, dog
Even give you some beauty tips
You better off livin' the part and just own it
'Cause homie, we see what it is
The truth that we mean, be speakin' is [?]
All the lies that you live
Handle your biz, dog, this beef is never endin'
But today the sun rise like Jesus resurrection
[Chorus]
Through these black clouds
Catch me shinin' through these black clouds
That's why they callin' me the risin' sun
'Cause I be shinin' through these black clouds
So catch me shinin' through these black clouds
I keep on shinin' through these black clouds
That's why they callin' me the risin' sun
'Cause I be shinin' through these black clouds
