I may not have a reason to think so
I know, but today I think I'm gon' win the lottery
Or maybe when I finally get home
Ooh, that job I need, they gon' call to hire me
So if I'm looking up don't mind me
But I can't be, I just can't be
I can't be down no more
And if you don't know where to find me
I'm out looking, I'm looking
For the silver lining, the silver lining
And I don't know where but I'm hoping I find it
I'm looking for the silver lining
Now everybody's looking at me
Like I'm crazy and I am maybe
But my bed is changing right now
Hands up, 'cuz muthaf---er this is a stickup
But don't be scared 'cuz listen
I ain't come to hurt nobody
I just want all ya money
In ya wallets, out ya pockets
So if I'm looking up don't mind me
But I can't be, I just can't be
I can't be down no more
And if you don't know where to find me
I'm out looking, I'm looking
For the silver lining, the silver lining
And I don't know where but I'm hoping I find it
I'm looking for the silver lining
Listen, I'm a good citizen
I'm not a criminal
But I ain't holding up off of the minimum
I got kids that I gotta support
But doing this was my last resort
But you can't be meek when you've got mouths to feed
When you've got bills to pay
And rent is late
Oh ooh, I bet you do what you have to
So if I'm looking up don't mind me
But I can't be, I just can't be
I can't be down no more
And if you don't know where to find me
I'm out looking, I'm looking
For the silver lining, the silver lining
And I don't know where but I'm hoping I find it
I'm looking for the silver lining
