[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
Let's bow our heads and let's all pray
Let's reminisce to them hard ways
Come to think about it we came a long way
I still feel on thin ice with hot skates
Comin' for what's mine I'm embracin' the grind
But I'm runnin' out of patience and time, but I keep waitin' in line
Lately I've been prayin' for forgiveness harder
'Cause I heard the sins of a father cast upon the daughter
I just jumped into this killin' from out of the boilin' water
'Bout time I started thinking 'bout tomorrow, I'm growin' up
Man, my family's actually proud
I hear the thunder but I think I see a crack in the clouds
[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
I been livin' wrong
For oh so damn long
But when the leaves are fallin'
Gotta weed the garden
From all the seeds I've sown
I been tryin' to mend these fences
And the miles of burnin' bridges
So Lord, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]
Made a decision to be a dad
In a world full of fatherless kids they fuckin' need us bad
I thank this music for givin' me a future
But I'm nervous 'cause I feel like I could lose it
I've been goin' through it
My anxiety's at a all time high
But I do best when it's all on the line
I told my daughter be the hardest worker in the room and swallow your pride
If you do that then it all'll be fine, I promise you that
I know what it feels like to get bullied in real life
To get your ass kicked and still fight
Emotions and rollercoasters buried deep in the sea
Beneath the surface is a surface no one's eager to see
[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
I been livin' wrong
For oh so damn long
But when the leaves are fallin'
Gotta weed the garden
From all the seeds I've sown
I been tryin' to mend these fences
And the miles of burnin' bridges
So Lord, can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
[Verse 3: Bailee Ann]
'Cause she's left when I was eight, she was addicted to drugs
I told my friends at school about it but all they did was judge
She made her decision, she left me behind
She thought she was right but she was out of her mind
I'm almost 11 years old and now it's time for me to know
My mama's in and out of jail and she ain't comin' home
Bullies always point their fingers, they laugh and they giggle
'Cause my heart has a little cut through the middle
Like my old man says time heals our wounds
Give me a little time and I'll be better than new
We all know about pain and how to play the game
Just stay by my side, the sunshine's after the rain
[Outro: Jelly Roll]
Does the sun shine after the rain?
Does the sun shine after the rain?
Do the clouds part after the pain?
Does the sun shine after the rain?
It's what I need to finally change
