Every Cloud Has a Silver Line Lyrics

I know it may be hard to see it at first

But every cloud has a silver lining

I been through the worst now I'm the best inside

Always keeping faith and put the rest aside

Now I use my tests to make em testify

Bugged by the hate but my love be the pesticide

Dry your eyes, see the sky, every cloud has a silver line

Dry your eyes, see the sky, every cloud has a silver line

I just won the fight of my life

Paying the price of living right almost cost me life

Its never easy to trust when it gets harder and harder

To stay out of jail man I was praying to the father

Staying focused on the future of my sons and my daughters

So I started going at heads like the boy was a barber

The more that she lied the more that they caught her

Generational mistakes but the past never taught her

Everyday I had to swallow my pride

Going to sleep with them tears in my eyes

Feeling defeated the more that I tried

Got easy to see it the more that I cried

Had what I needed but low on supply

Sending the message but got no reply

Hopin to die

Broken inside

Made to survive

What I spoke came alive

I lost everything except patience

Handing over my paper like I needed someone to grade it

Feeling hated

By the ones that I loved the most

Now I got it back with the bread so let's make a toast

I been through the worst now I'm the best inside

Always keeping faith and put the rest aside

Now I use my tests to make em testify

Bugged by the hate but my love be the pesticide

Dry your eyes, see the sky, every cloud has a silver line

Dry your eyes, see the sky, every cloud has a silver line

I'm black so I'm guilty until I'm proven innocent

But God's magnificence brought significance to my indifference

Dying to live again everyday I had a funeral

Incontinent when pissed off the microphone became my urinal

They mistake my kindness for weakness when I'm being merciful

Personalized attacks but I never took it personal

Had to humble myself and put my wrist up in the handcuffs

I'm over sitting down it's understood when I stand up

I'm just made to stand out

Won't looking for no hand out

But God worked his plan out

I'm just who I am now

They just want this man down

But they can't take me out, take me out, take me out, take me out no

I got hit from all angles

Never pledge to flag if it got stars spangled

This land of the free is designed to put you in debt

But when you rich in faith God will put your name on a check

I been through the worst now I'm the best inside

Always keeping faith and put the rest aside

Now I use my tests to make em testify

Bugged by the hate but my love be the pesticide

Dry your eyes, see the sky, every cloud has a silver line

Dry your eyes, see the sky, every cloud has a silver line

I made it, you hate it

Yeah I made it, know you hate it

Say I made it, you hate it

Yeah I made it, know you hate it

So I'm safe in his arms

Forever

Say I'm safe in his arms

Say I'm safe in his arms

Forever

Listen, moment of silence

Just close your mouth and let you heart listen

The most beautiful people treat you the ugliest

And what's meant to be easy is often times the most troubling

I graduated after patience became my subject

My private praise brought God glory in the public

When it came down to it he was like the only friend I really had

In court I listened to my kids refer to me as their other dad

When in fact for the past few years I was like the only parent that they really had

That type of hurt will make you really sad

Not to mention someone who is not even a man claiming to be a real dad

It don't make sense but that foolishness will make you real mad

Cuz I was the one that they cried to

After they had been lied to

Protected them I tried to

Like a male lion in a pride do

Who can I speak my mind to?

I must be destiny's child based on all that I survived through

I could've died from the stories but I kept living it

My all I kept giving it, bleeding without a period tryna breath through the sentences

They didn't care what it could do to me

But it wasn't new to me

Through the scrutiny God had something to prove to me

The story was twisted, but the righteous prevailed over the wicked

When no one else did God listened

now I'm forever gifted

Amen
