Story behind the song
The artist Tia Turner was often ridiculed for being named like the Queen of Rock Tina Turner and so she developed her writing skills as well as acting skills until one day she ran into Revelation Johnson the kin of the legendary Tupac Shakur who invited her to a show where she linked with an radio host Chocolate Deluxe who introduced her to the Biggjimmonthebeat and the Tankheadwreckin who gave her the track to write to in which she recorded the next day in Forest Park, Georgia.
Lyrics
Anytime It's gonna take a little time before the rain dies down
'Til the storm is over, over
You've got to stand your ground
You've got to be stronger than the wind, got to be stronger
Stronger than the wind,
I was locked up in *3
Steel walls in steel doors
On steel benches in steel toes
I hung in the bricks
If it didnt make dollars
Then it didnt make sense
Had to slang a lil
Just to make my rent
Cash buys
Thats cash spent
Getting to the comas
Need to add it up
It my hands do the numbers
Its some bands or what
If you know me then
Its touch down
Or its home run
Im on solid ground
Getting things done
Up in here or around in this place
You need to give me six feet or
Get the ____out my face
We can talk about money
We can talk about cake
What you know about that
What the ____you gone say
You need to give me some dollars
I like Benjamins
I like charge cards
I like charge offs
Take my time
A game of golf
When I talk the talk
I like to walk the walk
You know I been about the cash
Put it in a ball with rubber band
Put it in a bag
Wrapped around my hand
You know what Im saying right
Come on now
It's gonna take a little time before the rain dies down
'Til the storm is over, over
You've got to stand your ground
You've got to be stronger than the wind, got to be stronger
Stronger than the wind,
I done seen the blind side
To the road of riches
Strapped down and chains
About to lose my britches
But I dont stop there
I just dont quit
I keep pressing
I keep pacing
I need the money
You know the big faces
I dont have to lie
I dont lay
I like to spend
So I have to pay
I paid my dues
Down different avenues
Sit back relax
Shift the gear to cruise
Like done made the news
Its hot its cool
But it was worth it
And I didnt have to lose
A little red cent
Or a little silver dime
I just use common sense
Every single time
I might lose my head
If it roll off my shoulders
But I keep my hair curled
In some hair rollers
A lil lace is sweet if it fits sexy appeal
A little track from Jim
Engineered by tank
I be wrecking
What you thought I cant
I just put it in the bag
So I could put it in the bank
And Mastercard by the fish tank
Anytime It's gonna take a little time before the rain dies down
'Til the storm is over, over
You've got to stand your ground
You've got to be stronger than the wind, got to be stronger
Stronger than the wind,
I give my respect to the upmost high
I done ran in circles
I done cash the loot
Rooted and tooted
My book bag on my backside
The bottom side of my boots
The house I rock was some real red bricks
From the cradle to the crip
I keep my head held high
My garter belt on my thigh
I got that thing on the holster
In case you wanna try me
I can put it in the breeze
Smoke a bag of trees
Throw up some gang signs
Let em see the peace
The deuces, the Tre
Its okay
But what you wanna say
You wanna roll around my way and we can
Do this all day
We can go back and forth
We can go round to round
I can bob my head on em
Or we can shake it a little
Watch me back it up
And you can watch it wiggle
See my sexy walk
Im the lady of the south
I got that country slang
And you will remember me
When you hear my name
Tia Turner
