After the Rain
Jelly Roll Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing agreement or acknowledgement.

Somebody once told me
In the past, someone shared a piece of wisdom with me.

Sun always comes up after the storm
Hope and positivity follow difficult times.

Another wise man said
Referring to the words of another knowledgeable person.

Every storm runs out of rain
Difficulties eventually come to an end.

Its been cats and dogs over here for a long time
There has been constant turmoil and hardship in this place.

Man
An exclamation reflecting emotions or emphasizing a point.

Its like music to my ears
It brings immense joy or satisfaction.

Its oozing at me
The feeling or emotion is overpowering and affecting me deeply.

We been doing this years
We have been involved in this activity or industry for a long time.

Make a movie about next in line
Create a film centered around the next person who will succeed.

Somehow I got left behind
In some way, I was not able to progress or succeed like others did.

Trying to make it out this game
Attempting to succeed or escape from this situation or industry.

But cannot find the exit sign
Struggling to find a way out or move forward.

Don't understand
Lack comprehension or fail to grasp.

Why these critics
Questioning the reasons behind the actions or opinions of these critics.

Cant respect my mind
They do not appreciate or value my thoughts or ideas.

Or respect the fact
They also disregard the reality or truth of the matter.

I put my heart inside every line
I pour my emotions and passion into every lyric I write.

I hate these rappers
Expressing dislike or frustration towards other musicians.

All the words they be saying
Referring to the lyrics or statements made by these rappers.

They take a story they see
They appropriate or borrow a narrative they witness.

And they exaggerate it
They amplify or embellish the story.

I try to keep my cool
I make an effort to stay calm and composed.

But its kinda aggregated
However, it becomes increasingly frustrating or infuriating.

Im trying to make it
I am striving to succeed or achieve my goals.

I ain't never had an application
I have never filled out a form or applied for a traditional job.

For no regular job
I have no interest in pursuing a conventional occupation.

Im just a felon at heart
My mindset revolves around the characteristics of a person with a criminal record.

Ask me how I made it
Inquire about the reasons behind my success or survival.

And I have to tell'em its hard
I must explain that the journey has been difficult.

Cause I still ain't made it
Despite my efforts, I have not yet achieved success.

Every time Im supposed to blow
Whenever I expect to achieve great success or recognition.

I end up with the sliver
I only attain a small or insignificant accomplishment.

Every time I try go for gold
Whenever I strive for the highest level of achievement.

I got these problems on my heart
I carry burdens and issues within myself.

I feel like no one knows
I believe that nobody truly understands or empathizes with me.

I hope the lord will come and save
I have faith that God will rescue or deliver me.

A fucking hopeless soul
An individual filled with despair and lacking optimism.

Man we been through so much pain
We have experienced a significant amount of suffering.

But the sunshine after the rain
Despite the hardships, better times will come.

Lord I try not to complain

Cause sunshine after the rain
Because good things will follow the difficult times.

After the rain

Sunshine after the rain

Everyday another piece of me dies
Each day, a part of myself or my spirit diminishes or fades away.

And I don't even understand why
I am confused or lack comprehension regarding the reasons behind this change.

I don't understand why
I fail to comprehend the motives or causes.

I even wake up
I continue to exist or open my eyes to a new day.

And I try
Despite the difficulties, I make an effort to persevere.

Cause you ain't even looking through my eyes
You fail to see things from my perspective or understand my experiences.

So don't judge me
Therefore, refrain from forming an opinion or being critical of me.

Order up a dozen roses
Requesting the purchase or arrangement of twelve roses.

Set them all on fire
Intending to burn or ignite the entire bunch of roses.

For the girl who loved me
Dedicate this act to the person who had feelings of love towards me.

But I just pushed to the side

The only thing worse than a headache

Is when its too late

Turn on a country playlist
Start playing a collection of country music songs.

And I just let it play

Let the window down
Open the car window.

Rolling down a lonely street
Driving along an empty or desolate road.

Thinking to myself
Reflecting or contemplating my own thoughts.

Tears rolling down my cheek
Crying, with tears streaming down my face.

Life is a gamble
Life is an unpredictable and risky endeavor.

So I'm rolling the dice
I am taking chances or making choices with uncertain outcomes.

I put money before what's important in life
I prioritized wealth or material possessions over meaningful aspects of life.

So I'm in my zone
I am focused or engrossed in my own world.

Like a confused little man
In a state of confusion or uncertainty, similar to a small or young person.

Walking around with a fucking phone glued to my hand
Continuously holding and using my phone, unable to detach from it.

Even when I'm with my daughter
Even in the presence of my own child.

I'm still talking business

And I wonder why

Went and hit the trap

Way before I spit these raps
Long before I began expressing myself through rap lyrics.

I was really spitting packs

Somedays I wish that I could move

And try something new
Explore different opportunities or experiences.

Maybe one day come along

And find someone who
Discover an individual who

Will love me
Will genuinely care for or have affection towards me.

Regardless of my past
Irrespective of my previous actions or history.

When I live fast

And not only care about the cash
Rather than solely focusing on monetary gain.

The fact that death is constant
The undeniable truth that death is ever-present.

It's the only thing in life we're actually guaranteed
