A Better Day

1]

Now this is how it is to wake up with your pockets tapped out, you're ass out

It's nowhere to turn, you get burned

You wanna see the sun but all you get is rainy weather

Word life kid, things can only get better

You're fresh out the beast, no peace on your earth

Searching for the end of the rainbow it gets worse

No occupation without an education

You're facing expiration in a six-foot location

Life is building stress on your brain

Every other day you find it harder to maintain

But you gotta for your seeds' sake don't break

Stay strong for your queen, kid, it won't be long

Till you overcome to obstacles stopping you from prospering

No more five to ten bids up at Sing Sing

And life gets no easier, you gotta see your way to resist temptation

Cause soon there'll be a better day

Even though the skies is grey around your way

You're looking for a better day

In due time the sun will shine around your way

Yeah, you're looking for a better day

Even though the skies is grey around your way

You're looking for a better day

In due time the sun will shine around your way

You're looking for a better day

Once again? I can see? nine months down the line, it's hard to believe

But that's what's going on in this crazy world today

You got cats who wanna lay back and make babies

But when it comes time to be a father

Dad just flips the script screaming that he don't wanna be bothered

You're left with one breath and a starving seed

I feed em knowledge instead of the devil's trickery

Now you fall into a section with eight dreams

Farewell to your goals, I'm sympathetic to your needs

No roof over your head, no family

They warned you about the nigga, he was mad sneaky

Now there's a pretty price to pay

What can I say? It hits me in my heart that way

You're down and out in the ghetto contemplating letting go of life

But who's gonna take care of you know?

Stay strong yo, try to get yourself together

I promise you there will be days that's much better

Even though the skies is grey around your way

You're looking for a better day

In due time the sun will shine around your way

Yeah, you're looking for a better day

Even though the skies is grey around your way

You're looking for a better day

In due time the sun will shine around your way

Yeah, you're looking for a better day

Last but not least is the story of my life

Straight zero, a loser who wants to be a hero

I gotta save myself before I can sacrifice

Saving your life cause I ain't living right

Why trust me? I got problems, abusing substances

Alcoholism, I'm chasing girls with big breastesess

Hanging with them kids down the hall in the group home

I'm twenty deep but yet I still feel alone

I gotta stop depending on the bottle for the answers

Before I end up in AA battling cancer

But now my eyes can see the pain in the black community

It seems though there ain't no unity

Gun play today results in thoughtless killings

Innocent little shorties turning into ruthless villains

Now who's to blame for the game that we play?

Tighten up y'all, tomorrow is a better day

Even though the skies is grey around your way

You're looking for a better day

In due time the sun will shine around your way

Yeah, you're looking for a better day

Even though the skies is grey around your way

You're looking for a better day

In due time the sun will shine around your way

You're looking for a better day
