Bon Wavi - Rainy Days in Portland II

I woke up to a lotta crying this morning, it's a rainy day in Portland
Y'all want Jordans, Im just tryna get my family far from Oregon
Y'all busy pouring, my eyes on something far more important
Tryna put the first milli in my family fortune

Then I cant say I did something, see I ain't did nothing
Until then I'ma keep this pen running
Its a lot coming in the close future
See ya came correct and now they try to get close to ya
Look around just seeing alcoholics, drug abusers and
A bunch of lost souls
No goals
I swear to God your mind is useless
If you don't use it
A lotta people stopped thinking a long time ago
A lotta niggas stopped dreaming a long time ago
But I understand, I been the underdog
I been right where you stand
Difference between me and another man
Is that I made a plan
One thing I don't understand
Is how you hate a man, when he took his chance
Is it cause you cant? Tell me why you cant
You cant tell me why, I see in your eyes
You'll be blinded by your pride
That's gonna be your demise
Its gonna haunt you for your whole life
That's your poltergeist
A lotta niggas act they whole life
That's a whole disguise

I heard a lotta crying this morning, it's a rainy day in Portland
Y'all want Jordans, Im just tryna get my family far from Oregon
Y'all busy pouring, my eyes on something far more important
Tryna put the first milli in my family fortune

So I know I got a long way to go and it take a toll when you go alone
So when I'm on the road I'ma need my bros, just to lighten up the load
In the end my only goal, to see salvation in my soul
Went through the training, now its time to take it back to the basics
Came out the basement ready to face it, man I'm feeling like David
Versus Goliath, and the odds is nothing far from outrageous
But Im excited, cause I got something to make 'em drop to the pavement
Lotta people need saving and I swear its not up for debate
Cause you cant plead your case when it comes to facing the gates
Don't wait til too late, I swear that'll be your greatest mistake
Face to face with your fate, I said dont let that chance fade away
Man life moving fast and I ain't took my foot off the gas
God gave me the task to see what's broke and provide a cast
Stay in my bag, to show only real greatness will last
Now I'm just here to make you take off your mask

I heard a lotta crying this morning, it's a rainy day in Portland
Y'all want Jordans, Im just tryna get my family far from Oregon
Y'all busy pouring, my eyes on something far more important
Tryna put the first milli in my family fortune
