Against The Wind (The Remorse Original)

[Chorus: Lori Perry] Day after day, seems like I push against the clouds They just keep blocking out the sun It seems since I was born I've wakened every blessed morning Down on my luck and up against the wind [Verse: Drake] Gotta hold my head high with two dry eyes I told you everything is fine, dawg, but I lied I be tryna draw the line, but it's a fine line And I'm drownin' out the noise from the sideline But it's louder than the voice I got in my mind I can't even hear myself when I get quiet time How they tellin' me I'm done, when I'm in my prime? They've been tryna push a narrative since '09 And they even had my ass convinced a couple times But that ain't even the half, I had tougher times Only look for sympathy inside my mother's eyes And it's still, "Fuck them niggas on the other side" We got problems we could never really put aside I cracked the door for us all, put my foot inside I tried to kill them boys with kindness, but they wouldn't die So now I kill 'em all for actin' like they couldn't die And I do it all for this lil' hood of mine And now I'm top opp to these niggas, what a time Raise 'em like a son, and still they said he couldn't shine Fuck it, I'm the one, I ain't worried 'bout the other nine Checkin' on my brother's health, makin' sure my brother fine Makin' sure my mother's fine Pass it to my son next, make him throw another dime Tryna find the right one, give her ass some butterflies Eleven years deep now, gettin' hard to summarize Niggas tryna diss me, gotta tell a buncha lies Shit don't even cut deep, cuttin' like some butter knives Man, I got a hundred lives Pushin' through the pain, that's why I look like I ain't troubled by More I start piecin' shit together, more I'm puzzled by Fame'll have you feelin' like you really livin' double lives But I know myself, and that ain't the shit they publicize [Chorus: Lori Perry] Day after day, seems like I push against the clouds They just keep blocking out the sun It seems since I was born I've wakened every blessed morning Down on my luck and up against the wind [Open Verse] [Chorus: Lori Perry] Day after day, seems like I push against the clouds They just keep blocking out the sun It seems since I was born I've wakened every blessed morning Down on my luck and up against the wind Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry
