Good People
Jussie Smollett & Yazz Lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to pray
There are times when it is difficult to connect with spirituality.

Sometimes it's hard to stay grateful
It is challenging to maintain a thankful attitude at times.

It's painful, hurts so bad
The emotional and physical pain is unbearable.

Sometimes it's hard to breathe
It feels like suffocation and getting air is a struggle.

Gets hard to keep goin'
Continuing to move forward becomes a daunting task.

We keep holdin' on to what could have been
We remain attached to what could and should have happened.

But we'll get by
We will persevere and overcome these challenges.

We'll see the light
We will find a way through the darkness.

In the morning
After the difficult time has passed, things will be better.

It's gonna be alright
Everything will work out for the best in the end.

The circumstance
The situation we are in.

Is in the plan
It is part of a greater divine design.

Even if we don't fully understand
Even if we can't comprehend why this is happening.

Why the bad things happen to the good people
Why do terrible events occur to people who don't deserve them?

I know sometimes it's hard to be patient
Being patient can be a difficult task.

Ooh I hate it
The feeling is unpleasant and frustrating.

So hard to keep goin'
It is an uphill battle to persevere through the hardship.

So much pain
The agony and anguish is overwhelming.

It's still a lesson
There is a message to be learned from this suffering.

Sometimes it rains
Bad things happen unexpectedly and uncontrollably.

It's still a blessing
Despite the pain, there is good that will come from it.

You never see the silver lining in the cloud
It can be challenging to find the good in a terrible situation.

And so you doubt it
As a result, it can lead to feelings of uncertainty and disbelief.

You never know how much you truly have
We often fail to appreciate what we have until it's taken away.

Until you go without it
Only when it's gone do we realize its true value.

One day it's gonna turn into another season
The difficulty and challenges will come to an end and be replaced by better times.

Your gonna see that
You will realize that the pain and suffering had a greater purpose.

All your tragedy
The hardship endured.

You had was for another reason
The pain and suffering had a greater meaning and purpose.

Its just a temporary goodbye
The negative events will pass and come to an end.

So ya gotta keep ya head high
Persist through the hardships and maintain a positive attitude.

The rain is coming down and its pouring
The difficult times seem to be endless and never-ending.

But joy is gonna come inside the morning
Despite the hardship now, there will be a time of happiness and peace.

Why, understand why
Why did this pain and suffering have to happen?

The bad things
The difficulties and challenges in life.

Happen to the good people
Why does it seem like the most undeserving suffer the most?
