Storm

Woke up early this morning
My mind is heavy I'm feeling lost
Lace up my boots
Head out the door to go punch a clock
Ten hour shifts of the same ole shit
Working six days a week
And barely making a dent
In the bills that I got
I'm tryna create a better life
So my kids never know the struggle
Sleep peacefully every night
Kiss em goodnight
Tuck em tightly in bed
Daddy loves y'all so much
I'm doing the best that I can
I never show that I'm weak
But in reality I'm caving in
The weight of the world
Rest on my shoulders I carry it
But I swear that I'll never quit
I ain't built like that
It's gonna take more pressure than this
To put me on my back
And I ain't gonna fold cause I know
That I gotta carry on
To ensure that the road that I'm on
Sends me straight to the top of the polls
Ain't vote that can slow me
Or stomp down the goal
To impose all the dreams that I hold
Never give in never implode
Started from the bottom here we go
Success is the key that hold uh

I was built to weather the storm
Cold cold world just tryna stay warm
You can't understand
All the things that I've done
If you ain't ever come
From the place that I'm from
I was built to weather the storm
Cold cold world just tryna stay warm
You can't understand
All the things that I've done
If you ain't ever come from the place
That I'm from

Have you ever had to
Miss out on meals
Just to pay the bills
Make sure the lights on
Babies bellies filled
Break down just kneel
Ask the lord to forgive
For the things I must do
To keep my family uphill
So through the struggle I hustle
Slinging grams by the bundle
Leave ya head in a puddle
Don't try to play with my money
I got that thirty round clip
Packing fresh hollow tips
Fuck with me if you want
Will get your body bag zipped
I'm down with hitting a lick
Don't make a damn who it's with
On my frito lay shit
I'm all bout bagging my chips
With my black mask on
Got my black mask on
Bust through the door of the liquor store
With that black mask on
Bitch put yo hands in the air
Don't make a move or a sound
I'm just here for the money
But I'll put ten in yo crown
This ain't the life that I want
But I do what's gotta be done
Provide the best for my people
I'd never let 'em eat crumbs

I was built to weather the storm
Cold cold world just tryna stay warm
You can't understand all the things
That I've done
If you ain't ever come
From the place that I'm from
I was built to weather the storm
Cold cold world just tryna stay warm
You can't understand all the things
That I've done
If you ain't ever come from the place that I'm from

You ain't come where I'm from
Ohh oh oh oh
Come where I'm from
Oh oh oh
