Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it never got dark out
I just put the gloves up
Don't make me bring that bark out
Yeah let me finish
I admit it
Need a minute
Got it all
Hold the light
I need to spark now
Cant be standing under dark clouds
You done lost your mind
You using the wrong head yeah
You just feed me lies
And play victim to your bullshit
Ain't no more preaching to me
Nigga get up off your pulpit
Can't appreciate chocolate
Cause you like the cool whip
But I am not a mutt nigga
I'm a full bred
These bitches spoon fed
Watch you come from nothing
And they wonder how you do it
Start copying your movements
But we wouldn't know its sunny
If it never got dark out
I just put the gloves up
Don't make me bring that bark out
Yeah let me finish
I admit it
Need a minute
Got it all
Then I spent it
Hold the light
I need to spark now
Can't be standing under dark clouds
Can't be standing under dark clouds
Can't be standing under dark clouds
Can't be standing under dark clouds
The lyrics in Alex Cline/Kaoru/Miya Masaoka/G.E. Stinson's song "Cloud" paint a picture of a person who has been through difficult times, but is ready to move forward and spark change. The opening lines, "We wouldn't know it's sunny if it never got dark out" encapsulate the idea that one cannot appreciate the good times without experiencing the bad. The singer then puts up their gloves, indicating they are ready to fight or protect themselves if necessary, as they don't want to go back to a state of darkness.
The lyrics then take on a more personal tone, with the singer admitting that they need a minute to process their emotions. The line "Got it all, then I spent it" suggests that the singer has experienced success in the past, but perhaps mismanaged it. They then request someone to "hold the light," implying that they need someone to guide them out of their current state.
The rest of the lyrics criticize those who play the victim and use lies, and express a sense of pride and a refusal to be labelled as anything less than a full-blooded individual. The repeated phrase "Can't be standing under dark clouds" emphasizes the singer's determination to move forward and not be held back by negativity.
Overall, the song encourages the listener to push through difficult situations and not let darkness overshadow the sunny times.
