Jelly Roll – Sunshine After The Rain lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Coming for what's mine, I'm embracing the grind
But I'm running out of patience and time, but I keep waiting in line
Lately I've been praying for forgiveness harder
'Cause I heard the sins of a father cast upon the daughter
I just jumped into this skillet from out of the boiling water
'Bout time I started thinking 'bout tomorrow, I'm growing up
Man, my family's actually proud
I hear the thunder but I think I see a crack in the clouds

[Chorus]
I been living wrong
For oh so damn long
But when the leaves are falling
Gotta weed the garden
From all the seeds I've sown
I been trying to mend these fences
And the miles of burning bridges
So Lord, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?

[Verse 2]
Made a decision to be a dad
In a world full of fatherless kids they fucking need us bad
I thank this music for giving me a future
But I'm nervous 'cause I feel like I could lose it
I've been going 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]
I been living wrong
For oh so damn long
But when the leaves are falling
Gotta weed the garden
From all the seeds I've sown
I been trying to mend these fences
And the miles of burning bridges
So Lord, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?

[Verse 3: Bailey]
'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
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 coming home
Bullies always point their fingers, they laugh and they giggle
'Cause my heart has a little cut through the middle
But 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]
Where's the sunshine after the rain?
Where's the sunshine after the rain?
Do the clouds part after the pain?
Where's the sunshine after the rain?
It's what I need to finally change
