Cloudy Days Lyrics - Singles - Rob "cleva" Lightbourne

Yo. Somebody told me that it never rains in southern California. 

Shit. All I've seen was cloudy days. Every day... For real. 

Verse: 

Some n---as love to dream but I woke up too many times 

With a dollar bill in my pocket, a couple quarters and dimes 

So while you're sleeping I'ma stay on the grind 

Too much money's often spent in time, listen to the rhyme 

Of this mastermind deserted as a bastard I'm 

No longer living I'm just passing time 

By slow survival strictly by what I know 

With times more colder than the wind in Chicago 

As I grow into a man like a seed to a plant 

I look back on all my deeds in this land 

My reasons for scheming with heat in my hand 

Was necessity far from simple greed of a man 

I'll never lie and say the devil made me do it 

I simply seen the option and decided to pursue it 

Wishing for better days in this game of life 

Trying to avoid being hit by it's pain and strife 

Try to believe... 

Chorus: 

Somehow. Someway 

I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days 

Navigating my way through time and space 

Desperately trying to find my place I try to believe 

Somehow. Someway 

I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days 

Navigating my way through time and space 

Praying everything will be okay... I try to believe 

Verse: 

It's all a dream and I'll wake up soon 

Up in my room bout a quarter to noon with one of my tunes going "boom" 

But as for now I resume 

Being stuck in a nightmare since I jumped out the womb 

Women assume that they can calm the stress 

Figuring I'm in need of some passionate sex 

But never the less I'm restless and can't sleep at night 

With this woman trying to hold me tight 

From midnight to sunlight eyes wide open 

In the next room expressing pain soft words spoken 

I'm in need of assistance cause drama's consistent 

And it seems existence is persistent 

I know my destiny eventually is rest in peace 

Though I have tendencies to wish my body temp degrees 

Would simply freeze just so I could be at ease 

Dreams of a legacy propel me to proceed and believe 

Chorus: 

Somehow. Someway 

I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days 

Navigating my way through time and space 

Desperately trying to find my place I try to believe 

Somehow. Someway 

I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days 

Navigating my way through time and space 

Praying everything will be okay... I try to believe 

Verse: 

But yet this world turns one more time 

Mama telling me baby one day the sun goin' shine 

But as 3, 6, 5 is multiplied by my 23rd 

It's harder now to trust every word that I've heard 

The hurt I've observed on this earth giving birth 

Once again to nerve to do dirt cause to work 

9 - 5 to survive for some jerk who's goin' smirk 

Simply cause he feel his dirty drawers got more worth 

I can't do it. If an armored truck were headed 

For a cliff with a million I'd rather pursue it 

Chasing my dream to the death last breath 

Taken in the process of progress is how I wanna go 

As opposed monotonous getting by, getting old 

Laying back at 86 and releasing my soul 

I'm no longer anticipating a better way 

Mama I'm goin' be the son that shine through these cloudy days 

Chorus: 

Somehow. Someway 

I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days 

Navigating my way through time and space 

Desperately trying to find my place I try to believe 

Somehow. Someway 

I'ma see the sun shine through these cloudy days 

Navigating my way through time and space 

Praying everything will be okay... I try to believe (x2)
