A Better Day (Explicit)

I remember the nigga that i used to be, wish i could put him in the same room as future

me

Always been real, so i’ll give it to me truthfully, Make wisdom and youth meet in the

middle like buick seats

But i cant retool the matrix, and the fruits of my impatience got me trying to scoop this

wraith quick

Stay medicated to face the hatred, i dont take shit, u might bend my will, but you’ll

never break it

Super predator’s the headline they read us, but im a product of my environment, the

reagan, bush, and clinton eras

It was cold outside, i needed mittens and a sweater, i aint need the polo ranger boots

and the lambskin leather

I guess the wardrobe is just overkill, for me and cuzzo sharing clothes for years, we

was broke for real,

The good times, when it was oatmeal or no meal, from then to now, we gettin by off of

hope still

We all came up in the street life, praying for a better day

It hasn’t been an easy life, so we just lookin for a better way

We just looking for a better way

We just looking for a better way

It hasn’t been an easy life, so we just praying for a better day

Heavy is the head is what they always said

Everytime i look around a brotha always dead

Pro club decorated with your rest in peace

I put your name in my flesh its been stressing me

I apologize for this vibe i was traumatized

Often I was livin lies i was ostracized

From the kinship of a traitor,

It was over paper

Let em show they true colors you gone thank me later

Elevator to the top is how i escalated

I Meditated on this spot I thought I'll never make it

So sacred was the game but I related you to this

I try to take it all-in stride Im still a student to this

I’m so affluent and they knew it, so incredible

When you make it out the mud what could they tell you bro

Minus all the devil work my life is lovely

I can turn a plus from a minus and now yall lovin me

Hook:

We all came up in the street life, praying for a better day

It hasn’t been an easy life, so we just lookin for a better way

We just looking for a better way

We just looking for a better way

It hasn’t been an easy life, so we just praying for a better day

Learning lessons to forward my progression, No longer playing humble while i cock the

Wesson

My past deeds casting long shadows on my present, Long barrel on my weapon, no

sleep, a brother stressing

Another cig lit, i'm trying 2 quit, Gangsta mentality, product of my environment

All facts, this ain't just tough lines a nigga lying to spit, Too many nights i froze, no

home, that got my fire lit

Burning Dutches for crutches, my gait was unsteady, Lonely nights, pockets hella light,

but my gun heavy

Looking for the purpose i wouldn't find 'til i grew older, Stopped keep scores from old

wars made me a new soldier

Even prison couldn't break a King, My throne gathered moss, but i'm still rolling, major

things

Coming if i just stay focused, see what i learned, it's better to earn than taking things,

Please, somebody pray for me

We all came up in the street life, praying for a better day

It hasn’t been an easy life, so we just lookin for a better way

We just looking for a better way

We just looking for a better way

It hasn’t been an easy life, so we just praying for a better day
