Silver Lining Lyrics

Uh uh

Sky's so blue

But I can't see clear you know

With all these grey areas

But you know

That every cloud got a silver lining

Even the surface got it's purpose if you peel behind it

Like I've been grinding and considering this current climate

Within this autotune wave how can I still be rhyming

When I got niggas that made millions off of import export

You don't gotta be in sports to get your next Porsche

And you don't got to be endorsed to be fresh for em

Especially when niggas in tech that live next door

From the hospital bed to sipping ensure

From serving niggas smoking out of tin foil

Went from the dope game to me and Boo buying bags of cocaine

On Oakland street right behind the ninety nine cent store

And what is this for

I mean why did we lose it

Guess it's life as we knew it

Niggas wasn't tryna be truant

Guess looking back it was like Nike and niggas just do it

Plus the money talk excites me baby I'm fluent

Money's the motive Uh

Nobody told this to me

I had to earn to be free

Nobody else could be me

Had to get grown on my own nobody owed shit to me

A leap of faith and grew wings

On the way down

I seen big hit strong arm niggas

As kids we was long arm of the law benders

Marengo and Howard street during my tenure

Tas force with the gang file calling us members

Gentrified was the goal

Getting cash incentivized liquid gold

Getting by I could feel it right in my soul

Serve that shit to get you niggas high as you can go

Nigga fly nigga Oh

My dirty thirties caught my first offense

White collar selling merch to my Armenian fence holla

Driving through with the limousine tints

Learn the difference between dollars and cents and mortgage and rent uh

Vilify me to the public

It's like I'm fighting my destiny like LaToya Luckett

But I see the silver lining behind these grey clouds

And do whatever it takes for me to make it out

The safest route

Money's the motive Uh

Nobody told this to me

I had to earn to be free

Nobody else could be me

Had to get grown on my own nobody owed shit to me

A leap of faith and grew wings

On the way down
