Lookin out the window staring at the sky
Happens for a reason but what's the reason why
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Weather through the storm
Lightnin and the thunder
Did I take the wrong road
I didn't see another
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Collect call from department of correction
Looking out the window but I see a clear reflection
Did I take the wrong direction at the intersection
Hear the whispers that I'm different guess it's all perception
Lessons that I learned worth the sacrifices made
Dues that I paid paved the way to better days
Now dreams coming true
And this bed that I lay but I slay
So I pray that they stay out of my way
No hatred in my heart for the friends that up and split
Glass half full with Don Julio and guilt
My decision crumbled walls in the house that I built
Baptized in the puddle can't cry over spilt milk
Lookin out the window staring at the sky
Happens for a reason but what's the reason why
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Weather through the storm
Lightnin and the thunder
Did I take the wrong road
I didn't see another
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Jelly Roll
My big brother told me go and get it
My momma told me ramen noodles and ketchup equals spaghetti
I jumped off the porch when I was young and thought I was ready
Put the world on my shoulders pretended it wasn't heavy
Hear the rumble of the thunder
I swear to God I feel the lightnin
I've seen it all from closed caskets to sealed indictment
The preacher man said Heavens real and I'm still invited
But mean while I still feel this feelin inside me
Take a moment to relax just to sit back
Even on the days that it's sunny my city's pitch black
Just to go get the paper willing to pitch packs
Is there a heaven for people that really did that
Lookin out the window staring at the sky
Happens for a reason but what's the reason why
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Weather through the storm
Lightnin and the thunder
Did I take the wrong road
I didn't see another
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
I came home with my mind right feeling stable
But Mondo's gone now Tata's been disabled
Half the homies back in prison other half just livin
Guess I had a different vision that we'd all be chillin
Life moves on and takes us different ways
We all floatin in the ocean head above the waves
I wanna see your face at more than just funerals
Life's a hard pill to swallow homie but it's true
Lookin out the window staring at the sky
Happens for a reason but what's the reason why
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Weather through the storm
Lightnin and the thunder
Did I take the wrong road
I didn't see another
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
