Lyrics

She said, "You ever have one of those days?"
I've had 'em on loop, each worse than the one it replaced
But there's comfort in routines, even in bad ones
Arrived to the fight of my life with a cap gun
Time after wrong time, bad place
Stuck in a long line, rat race
Can't palm off a quick fix, Band-Aid
These dramas, got my fingerprints hand made
I lost my way, messed with my essence
Depression, a guest in my head that I’m wrestling
It's left me for dead and I'm desperate for strength
But I'm scared, it's anyone's guess where it ends
But I'll crawl through the rain, till I walk again
My pain, your pain, it's all one in the same
So when I told her my fears were the fame
Half smile on her face, she said, "I can relate", I know
Said I know, I know, I know the rain
I've been places where that light can seem a world away
I know, I've been low, never seems too long ago
Never seems too long ago, oh
Yeah, yeah, you told me, man, I've been knocked flat on my back
Went off track on a map, and every time
I tried to recapture the passion
It ends in a brand new scrap, but never mind
Blindsided, they left me first
My sense of purpose followed by sense of worth
And regaining those senses, relentless work
But I will, I swear it, mark my every word 'cause
Hitting bottom only lead one direction
And one step up worth a million intentions
See, first you test it, then come to questions
Then the lesson, only then the redemption
So if you low, listen, you gotta know
It's part of the show, to come back, you gotta go
The hard truth in the cold light of days
We all finding our way, I said, "I can relate", I know
Said I know, I know, I know the rain
I've been places where that light can seem a world away
I know, I've been low, never seems too long ago
Yeah, but from the ashes, phoenix rose
Get yourself a seat, man, here's the lightshow
Get yourself a seat, man, here's the lightshow
I said I shot my light
As the rain poured, when that flame got dim, I just sheltered 'em all
When the whole chorus told me I couldn't, I nearly bought it
Almost had me doing the dirty work for 'em
Ain't no cause for retreat, and if I left them, when
What that say about me?
Look, the world thought I was brought to my knees
I break the storm, made the gale force look a breeze, please
Get me, stop it already
I love myself, without poise or a penny
The stakes weigh heavy, and I'm sure plenty more to come
The strength I got from it could break levees
They tried, oh, they tried, but they knock us down
And all the no's in the world ain't gon' stop us now
Hell nah, not a chance, you lied up your weight
You line up a name, you fire away, I know
Get yourself a seat, man, here's the lightshow
Get yourself a seat, man, here's the lightshow
Said I know, I know, I know the rain
I've been places where that light can seem a world away
I know, I've been low, never seems too long ago
Yeah, but from the ashes, phoenix rose
Get yourself a seat, man, here's the lightshow
Get yourself a seat, man, here's the lightshow
Get yourself a seat, man, here's the lightshow
