Generate meaning
1
Been through the storm, through the cold and rain
2
Every thing's still the same
3
Can't control how I feel
4
Sometimes it's hard to keep it real
5
You see the luxuries in life, with the fortune and fame
6
Like them Cadillacs with sunroofs mayne
7
So many ways to make a dollar
8
Huh, sometimes I think about my father
9
You see, my poppa was broke, and my momma was young
10
Tryin' to blend in with them city folk
11
Every day landlord knockin' down my do'
12
Wonderin' where my next blessing is comin' from
13
My momma and poppa, moved to the U.S. as Jamaicans
14
Struggled to get visas and green cards through immigration
15
Though my pop was po', stayed away from crime and malice
16
Hard living gave him hard hands and callous
17
As a young and peep how much they loved each other's space
18
His hard hands rubbin, against the pretty skin of my mother's face
19
Dig for treasure 'til his hands looked like hands of a junkie
20
So coarse, slap a mule and take the life from a donkey
21
On the other hand, mommy was the type to work two jobs
22
Never enough money, that's why I got your whole crew robbed
23
Got older, developed ways of grippin' the steel
24
Barely home for me to see her, or get a good cooked meal
25
Seek refuge in the alleged land of the free, lookin'
26
Blendin' in with city folk, down in Flat bush Brooklyn
27
Feel a little of my pain, follow and sing to it
28
Homey, I seen it all, if you ain't knowin' I been through it
29
In other words I
30
Been through the storm, through the cold and rain
31
Every thing's still the same
32
Can't control how I feel
33
Sometimes it's hard to keep it real
34
You see the luxuries in life, with the fortune and fame
35
Like them Cadillacs with sunroofs mayne
36
So many ways to make a dollar
37
Huh, sometimes I think about my father
38
You see, my poppa was broke, and my momma was young
39
Tryin' to blend in with them city folk
40
Every day landlord knockin' down my do'
41
Wonderin' where my next blessing is comin' from
42
Got a little older, late teens, me and my crew would huddle
43
On the corner late nights, plottin' to escape struggle
44
Nights got cold and still would hustle in the same place
45
In front of Pancho Delis, now the freeze up on a nigga face
46
1987 Reaganomics ever curious
47
To visit other cities, out of town kick was serious
48
Guyanese jeans bounce, put whatever slinger on
49
Whatever slinger came back, quickly brought me right along
50
Nigga ran away from home, doin' different wild shit
51
Just to put a pair of Filas on, 'Didas on
52
Wreck is all for the good, gettin' into shit
53
Like we innocent, actin' older than should
54
Walk around broke in the hood, watchin all the rich niggaz
55
These younger thugs who try to choke and try to get niggaz
56
Thinkin' 'bout my mom and pop, while I'm monopolizin'
57
To hell with just gettin' by and economizin'
58
It's kinda hard bein' humble in the belly of struggle
59
Doin' things that probably get you in trouble
60
That's why we stay up on the block, gettin' money
61
While we keepin' it safe in front of churchgoers keepin' the faith
62
Mom and pop be worryin' for they son, despite they struggle
63
And their honest livin', look and see just what I become
64
A scavenger in brute pursuit to be happy, another young and
65
That's wildin' across the line until somebody tryin' to cap me, oh shit
66
I been through the storm, through the cold and rain
67
Everything's still the same, can't control how I feel
68
Sometimes it's hard to keep it real
69
Wooh, yeah, oh
