Rainproof Victory

Yeah… Aint nobody see the nights I had to fight with myself.

Everybody see you winning… Nobody see what it took to get there. (Yeah…) (Uh)

I been through the rain,

I’m still standing, Had nobody there,

had to make my own chances.

Hart full of pain,

but I keep on advancing,

They counted me out,

now they watching me passing.

I can’t slow down,

I got too much on my mind,

Had to leave some people,

had to leave some behind.

If I fall down,

I’ma get up every time,

They don’t know what I survived,

they just see me when I shine.

(Still standing!) (Yeah!) (Every time!) (Uh!)

I was young with a dream,

had a heart full of hope,

Then life got hard and I learned how to cope.

Had to smile through the pain,

couldn’t let nobody know,

I was fighting so much inside but I still had to grow.

I done gave people love,

they ain’t give it back,

Had to learn real quick everybody ain’t built like that.

I was looking for support,

they was waiting on me to crack,

Now I’m focused on the future,

I ain’t worried where they at.

Late nights, thinking ‘bout the things I could’ve changed,

Looking at myself like,

“Why I gotta feel this way?” Then I told myself,

“You gotta get up anyway,” So I turned all of that pain

into fuel for the day.

Now I’m working every night,

I ain’t waiting on a break,

If the road get rough,

I’ma find another way.

They can talk behind my back,

let ‘em say whatever they say,

I’m too busy building something they can’t take away.

(Can’t take it!) (Nah!) (I’m locked in!)

(Yeah!) I know they don’t understand me,

I know they don’t see the pain.

I had to turn my tears to power,

Had to make it through the rain.

And I ain’t going back… I been through the rain,

I’m still standing, Had nobody there,

had to make my own chances.

Hart full of pain,

but I keep on advancing,

They counted me out,

now they watching me passing.

I can’t slow down,

I got too much on my mind,

Had to leave some people,

had to leave some behind.

If I fall down,

I’ma get up every time,

They don’t know what I survived,

they just see me when I shine.

I don’t trust too many,

I done learned from the past,

Some people love you only when they know you got cash.

When you struggling, they disappear fast,

When you make it,

they come running like the friendship gonna last.

Nah, I remember.

I remember every night I was alone with the stress,

Trying to figure out my life,

trying to give it my best.

Had a weight on my shoulders,

had a hole in my chest,

But I kept moving forward,

never settled for less.

Now I’m looking at the mirror and I’m proud of who I

see, I became the type of person that I needed me to

be. I don’t need everybody else to validate me,

I know exactly where I’m going,

I know who I’m gonna be.

If they hate, let ‘em hate,

I’ma keep doing me,

I got dreams bigger than the things that they see.

I ain’t chasing everybody,

I’m just chasing my peace,

And I’ma keep going hard ’til the mission complete.

(My

peace!) (Yeah!) (Mission complete!) (Uh!)

I know I made mistakes… I know I lost some friends…

I know the road was hard…

But I won’t let it be the end.

I’ve been hurt before,

I ain’t scared no more.

I’m still standing. Now I’m moving with a purpose,

every step got a meaning,

Had to wake up from the darkness,

had to find me a reason.

They can doubt me if they want,

I don’t care what they believing,

I’ma make it out the storm even if the sky start freezing.

I got people that I love,

that’s the reason I grind,

Wanna give ’em better days.
