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
