I've been in the rain where it never shines
Even though it's pain, saints never die
I pray for better days and for better times
When problems in my way I won't step aside
I'ma stand strong
I get involved with these songs and I'm hands on
You do me wrong and that's your fault that's your damn loss
Was trying to help you win it all but now the plan's off
I built myself to be the man I am now
Okay these memories don't live like people do
When they write them history books
What they gonna say about me and you?
You gotta watch the way you talk
You gotta watch the way they move
Might not hear no crazy stories about me but at least they're true
Got some people in my life that I ain't called in way too long
I'm out of reasons I can't tell you what I'm waiting on
Make that left, I made that right but that don't make it wrong
Don't know how to make it right so I'm just trying to make these songs
They be trying to keep me calm
My Granny used to try to read me Psalms
I just burned a new leaf boy I've been trying to keep me gone
I really wish you would have listened to what I be speaking on
Girl, I got issues with commitment I ain't trying to lead you on
And these sentences I've written might have saved me
Look what they gave me
But if I told you everything, you'd look at me crazy
So when you tell me open up
Know it's just a war zone inside of me but look what it made me
And I couldn't tell you what this life is
I've been leaning on my vices
Look what the price is
Living with the things that I did, sacrifices
It's been weighing on me
Please don't waste your time if you've been praying for me
Doing what it takes to survive
Hope I never see the day I push my faith to the side
But for right now, I'ma put my face to the sky
Cause the one thing I do know is saints never die
I've been in the rain where it never shines
Even though it's pain, saints never die
I pray for better days and for better times
When problems in my way I won't step aside
I'ma stand strong
I get involved with these songs and I'm hands on
You do me wrong and that's your fault that's your damn loss
Was trying to help you win it all but now the plan's off
I built myself to be the man I am now
