Waiting Lyrics

Catch him sitting porch, with a liquor quart

Swisher full smoke, he just tryna cope

Sack of nickels in his draws, pistol in his coat

Will prolly see cell before he get to vote

Heard these felonies really that new Jim Crow

That 13th amendment flipped in reversal

Yeah the prison a plantation, the auction block

The same block where they knocked homie for ready rock

But he just tryna make in cruel world

Nest egg for his family and his baby girl

Its hard on a black males in them cross hairs

They brought us chains instead of light when we was lost here

Now tell me that ain't how the devil did Job

Left with nothing but suffering will his faith hold

Still stood strong when the clouds formed

Told his daughter know that light follows every rain, Storm

And I'll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky

To open up the sky

And I'll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky

To open up the sky

Waiting on the sunshine to part the the clouds

Made to weather thru the rain they was pouring down

Flooded us with pain we ain't never drowned

Chin up and chest out when 12 pulled around

She worried bout her brother and her son now

And her husband had two cousin get gunned down

Murdered by streets or the police

Late night while he hustle she up with no sleep

And she just tryna make it on a cruel earth

Struggling not to lose sanity had to soul search

Tryna find the light in this dark place

Forced to consider the tragedy she might have to face

Now tell me can ya feet fit the pair sneaks

That journeyed thru the valley tryna reach a peak

Dark clouds formed so she prayed for him

Said lord I'm waiting for the light to follow up these rain storms

And I'll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky

To open up the sky

And I'll be waiting on the sunshine, to open sky

To open up the sky
