God Knows

[Chorus]
I remember when times were tough
I done went through the rain with my mother
Trust the process I said to my brother
Know we gotta be here for each other
And you know when the time get rough
You know I'm gonna be here with ten toes
Imma be right beside you I won't fold
Why we go through these things only god knows

[Pre-Verse]
Why we go through these things only god knows
Why we go through these things only god knows
Yeah, why we go through these things
Why we go through these things
Why we go through these things only god knows

[Verse]
I sit down and remember them nights
Lighting candles, we ain't got no lights
Stomach growling but money is tight
Got no gas I can't get us a bite
No hot water, the showers is cold
Momma cryin', I'm not tryna fold
Kiss her cheek and then I let her know
We'll get through this put that on my soul
Got no gas so we can't use the oven
Watch your back, they got pistols they clutchin'
One minute you out playin ball
Next minute it's R.I.P to your cousin
Sending checks knowing they gonna bounce
Overdraft in like all the accounts
Brodie still coppin' weed by the ounce
Got no plans you should stay in the house

[Chorus]
I remember when times were tough
I done went through the rain with my mother
Trust the process I said to my brother
Know we gotta be here for each other
And you know when the time get rough
You know I'm gonna be here with ten toes
Imma be right beside you I won't fold
Why we go through these things only god knows

[Bridge]
I remember when I had nothing to eat
I remember when I ain't sleep good in weeks
I remember them days
I remember them days, how could I forget
Getting on that plane so I could pay my respects
Tryna make a name so I could give momma a check
Feeling down bad
For weeks I was a nervous wreck
Going out sad
Got stress from my feet to my neck

[Chorus]
I remember when times were tough
I done went through the rain with my mother
Trust the process I said to my brother
Know we gotta be here for each other
And you know when the time get rough
You know I'm gonna be here with ten toes
Imma be right beside you I won't fold
Why we go through these things only god knows
