Sunshine After The Rain (2019)

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]

Let's bow our heads and let's all pray

Let's reminisce to them hard ways

Come to think about it we came a long way

I still feel on thin ice with hot skates

Comin' for what's mine I'm embracin' the grind

But I'm runnin' out of patience and time, but I keep waitin' in line

Lately I've been prayin' for forgiveness harder

'Cause I heard the sins of a father cast upon the daughter

I just jumped into this killin' from out of the boilin' water

'Bout time I started thinking 'bout tomorrow, I'm growin' up

Man, my family's actually proud

I hear the thunder but I think I see a crack in the clouds

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]

I been livin' wrong

For oh so damn long

But when the leaves are fallin'

Gotta weed the garden

From all the seeds I've sown

I been tryin' to mend these fences

And the miles of burnin' bridges

So Lord, can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]

Made a decision to be a dad

In a world full of fatherless kids they fuckin' need us bad

I thank this music for givin' me a future

But I'm nervous 'cause I feel like I could lose it

I've been goin' through it

My anxiety's at a all time high

But I do best when it's all on the line

I told my daughter be the hardest worker in the room and swallow your pride

If you do that then it all'll be fine, I promise you that

I know what it feels like to get bullied in real life

To get your ass kicked and still fight

Emotions and rollercoasters buried deep in the sea

Beneath the surface is a surface no one's eager to see

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]

I been livin' wrong

For oh so damn long

But when the leaves are fallin'

Gotta weed the garden

From all the seeds I've sown

I been tryin' to mend these fences

And the miles of burnin' bridges

So Lord, can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

[Verse 3: Bailee Ann]

'Cause she's left when I was eight, she was addicted to drugs

I told my friends at school about it but all they did was judge

She made her decision, she left me behind

She thought she was right but she was out of her mind

I'm almost 11 years old and now it's time for me to know

My mama's in and out of jail and she ain't comin' home

Bullies always point their fingers, they laugh and they giggle

'Cause my heart has a little cut through the middle

Like my old man says time heals our wounds

Give me a little time and I'll be better than new

We all know about pain and how to play the game

Just stay by my side, the sunshine's after the rain

[Outro: Jelly Roll]

Does the sun shine after the rain?

Does the sun shine after the rain?

Do the clouds part after the pain?

Does the sun shine after the rain?

It's what I need to finally change
