Through the Storm
J. Rawls & Holmskillit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been in the game for a year now I'm moving like the Vet
I'm so far ahead and I'm still thinking bout what's next
18 in my second year of college that's a flex
And it would've been my third but I was focused on a check
I been waiting on my moment took a year to plan the steps
So I can execute it properly to shit up on the rest
I let them demons get the best of me and that shit made a mess
Smoking woods back to back it help with dealing with the stress
And I been dealing with these different confrontations life been putting on me
When it come to fighting through the pain man I feel like Kobe
If you say you love me I won't know cause you gotta show me
Gave a bitch my heart she gave it back and said I want a rollie
And it take a real one to admit his insecurities
And girl I got a lot but now its more that you not here with me
I never ask for help cause it feel like nobody hearing me
Have no expectations they won't meet them and it's clear to see
Made it through the storm
Tryna dodge the bullets of the rain
Searching for the reasons I'm accustomed to the pain
It ain't no discussion I ain't rushing for the change
I just pray its coming soon to show me who right here to stay
Pray for Me
You could wait for me
I've been drowning underwater all this weight on me
No way I'll let my family lose they faith for me
Can't take a risk so I got niggas thats got say it for me
Walking Through the Storm stepping through the rain nigga
If you don't know then you should know I'm still the same nigga
Oh this blunt that's in my hand? its for the pain nigga
I been getting lost inside my mind its so insane nigga
I think they get it now I touched them so they feel it now
Niggas watching me like a hoe who got her titties out
Spent my last dime on her but she won't get a penny now
They say I'm a snake and Im the one they wanna envy now
Return of a king who's heart was stolen by a thief
A real beauty in the streets a different freak up in the sheets
Who woke up a different beast
But this one fucked up by a treesh
Ripped up into many pieces cause my heart was on a leash
Made it through the storm
Tryna dodge the bullets of the rain
Searching for the reasons I'm accustomed to the pain
It ain't no discussion I ain't rushing for the change
I just pray its coming soon to show me who right here to stay
Pray for Me
You could wait for me
I've been drowning underwater all this weight on me
No way I'll let my family lose they faith for me
Can't take a risk so I got niggas thats got say it for me
Walking Through the Storm stepping through the rain nigga
If you don't know then you should know I'm still the same nigga




Oh this blunt that's in my hand? its for the pain nigga
I been getting lost inside my mind its so insane nigga
