Before we jump into the meaning behind the song, let’s take a moment to appreciate the lyrics of “Parkstone Drive.” Here are the powerful words that tell an emotional story:
[Intro] Yeah, it’s crazyYeah, I need y’all to listen
Yeah, yeah [Chorus] Yeah, it rains sometimes even when it shines
Don’t give up, don’t give up
Know it rains sometimes even when it shines
Don’t give up, don’t [Verse 1] Yeah, my parents’ marriage in shambles, I won’t lie, it hurts
I thought money would fix it, but it just made it get worse
See my dad was the man, ’til his job cut ties
He went broke, I got rich, that shit fucked with his pride
Yeah, I recognize it was disturbing to see
The family stopped turnin’ to him and started turnin’ to me
Going through it, I know he tried to hide the pain
If he gave up and got a job, his dad died in vain
‘Cause his dad ran a business
So my dad tried to run one too but there’s a difference
No income, my dad started loosin’ his confidence
Meanwhile everyday I got brand new accomplishments
At the height of my career was his lowest
And that’s a lie, ’cause we both still goin’
Me up, him down, it caused a lot of angst
Argument got out of hand, had to call Frank
All my efforts ignored, he threw it all in my face
There’s not a song long enough where I can say what I gave
Shit’s crazy, mom couldn’t believe him
I
