Stand the Rain

[Background: New Edition]
Can you stand the rain
Everybody loves
Can you stand the rain
Everybody loves
Can you stand the rain
Everybody loves
Can you stand the rain
Everybody loves

[Verse 1: Young Rob]
Daily devotion, I pen to paper emotions
Heart on my sleeve and I leave it all in the open
Just hoping that you might hear me
I’m letting all of these people in on my secrets
So for once, maybe you could feel me
Shit I got through never faze me
That's the shit that went and made me
Givе my shoes to anybody else, I bеt they going crazy
Scheming and just plotting daily
I can’t second guess and maybe
I got talents that I can’t put to waste
I know this life done gave me
Yeah we want it all, because we never had much
It felt like everything we wanted, was so far and out of touch
But word to me, I’ll make it happen
All you gotta to do is trust
Instead of trying to make it work
We went and made it work for us

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ve been standing in the rain, dawg, my whole life
I could take the showers, but for others it ain’t nothing light
Can’t watch my people soaking
Gotta go and show them something bright
Put they faith up in my own hands, I had to roll the dice

[Chorus]
Went through storms and made it back
Never changed, I stayed intact
While I grew through the concrete
Some my people fell in through the cracks
Turn this shit around, and switch this pain out with a hunnid stacks
Am I fool for thinking money gon' change all of that?

[Verse 2]
Money can’t buy it, but it come damn close to happiness
Speak from what I know, it’s only truth when I be rapping this
It’s all in or nothing, and I’m all in ‘fore I think twice
I’m certain, but these unanswered questions
Won't let me think right
Why God take my stepmom from my sister? I can’t understand
Why my dad work 60 hours weekly? Go chill with the fam
Why my nigga 'Lari feel like living just ain’t worth a damn?
Hate to my see my nigga Tomo go thru it, yo that’s my mans
Nigga, we got bigger plans, you know that it don’t stop here
Get rich or die trying, before I give up, I'ma drop here
We gon' climb our way up from the bottom, 'til we not here
We gon' keep on working, best believe until we out here
I'ma put my people on my shoulders like I’m Atlas, nigga
Life gon' go my way, and ain’t no other way I’ll have it, nigga
They gon' know our name
Because we blessing every track, my nigga
Dropped Looking Forward
And ever since I ain’t look back, my nigga

[Chorus]
Went through storms and made it back
Never changed, I stayed intact
While I grew through the concrete
Some my people fell in through the cracks
Turn this shit around, and switch this pain out with a hunnid stacks
Am I fool for thinking money gon' change all of that?
