On the Bright Side

Facing challenges and difficulties.

Current sorrow will lead to a positive outcome.

Optimism about a brighter future.

Struggling through hardships.

Current dimness will transform into brightness.

Anticipation of an overall brighter life.

Surviving tough situations, dodging trouble, and growing up amidst challenges.

I survived the trenches

Had no pot to piss in

But I was optimistic

We was hopping fences

We was dodging prison

Local cops was tripping

We were only children

Acknowledging challenges and ignoring negative influences.

But he not as consistent

When they talk competition

I know not to listen

Recognition of family and divine support, determination to surpass expectations.

I know God is listening

Ima exceed expectations

I won't Robert Griffin

Expressing frustration with obstacles, asserting position and ignoring competition.

Really im just venting

Success is my decision

That's just how I'm feeling

Fuck the opposition

I know my position

Resilience in the face of adversity.

Won't stop a nigga

Reiteration of facing challenges and anticipating a brighter future.

Crying now but soon you'll see

Your whole life will be brighter

Fighting through the pain

Shining dim but soon you'll be

Your whole life will be brighter

Metaphor of NHP as an umbrella, enduring rainy days, and aspiring for better.

Rainy days won't last forever

Got to go through the storm

Just see the sun better

I can see you want better

I can see you done, fed up

I can see want success

I can do you one better

Desire for genuine happiness and appreciation for overcoming obstacles.

How bout none of these bumps in the road

Is on accident

You appreciate it all when you not use to having shit

Reflection on past dreams and the contrast between humble beginnings and success.

Me and lazeriz

Dreams of rags to rich

In the fastest whip

Living fabulous

Before the casket dip

Questioning the role of God and self-reflection on life's challenges.

Real

Is God himself the antagonist?

Like Is it all a test

And Am I passing it

Reiteration of facing challenges and anticipating a brighter future.

Crying now but soon you'll see

Your whole life will be brighter

Fighting through the pain

Shining dim but soon you'll be

Your whole life will be brighter

Reflecting on the struggle to maintain integrity in a world that values success over morals.

Was to never sell your soul

But most people

Don't believe in moral victories

Building success step by step, dealing with limitations, and expressing through music.

Then hit a ceiling

You left hits on the cutting room floor

Literally

You feel they ungrateful

Steady wanting more

You leave it all in the music

Cause that's what it's for

Dealing with isolation, disappointment, and the difficulty of maintaining relationships.

You all incognito

You tryna dodge the d'evils

They probably think it's ego

They don't know what you going through

That everyone you let close enough

Disappoints you

Wishing for understanding and expressing the necessity of challenges for growth.

I wish that it didn't rain

But how else would things grow

Look on the bright side

Reiteration of facing challenges and anticipating a brighter future.

Crying now but soon you'll see

Your whole life will be brighter

Fighting through the pain

Shining dim but soon you'll be

Your whole life will be brighter
