Now this is how it is |
| [00:22.15] |
To wake up with your pockets tapped out, you're ass out |
| [00:24.69] |
It's nowhere to turn, you get burned |
| [00:27.03] |
You wanna see the sun but all you get is rainy weather |
| [00:29.42] |
Word life kid, things can only get better |
| [00:32.01] |
You're fresh out the beast, no peace on your earth |
| [00:34.65] |
Searching for the end of the rainbow it gets worse |
| [00:37.19] |
No occupation without an education |
| [00:40.07] |
You're facing expiration in a six-foot location |
| [00:42.81] |
Life is building stress on your brain |
| [00:44.75] |
Every other day you find it harder to maintain |
| [00:47.89] |
But you gotta for your seeds' sake don't break |
| [00:50.67] |
Stay strong for your queen, kid, it won't be long |
| [00:53.06] |
Till you overcome to obstacles stopping you from prospering |
| [00:56.26] |
No more five to ten bids up at Sing Sing |
| [00:58.85] |
And life gets no easier, you gotta see your way to resist temptation |
| [01:02.53] |
Cause soon there'll be a better day |
| [01:04.22] |
|
| [01:05.15] |
Even though the skies is grey around your way |
| [01:07.64] |
You're looking for a better day |
| [01:08.93] |
In due time the sun will shine around your way |
| [01:12.67] |
Yeah, you're looking for a better day |
| [01:14.71] |

In due time the sun will shine around your way |
| [01:23.58] |
You're looking for a better day |
| [01:24.57] |
|
| [01:25.22] |
Once again I think I can see |
| [01:27.13] |
That would be nine months down the line, it's hard to believe |
| [01:31.31] |
But that's what's going on in this crazy world today |
| [01:34.33] |
You got cats who wanna lay back and make babies |
| [01:36.21] |
But when it comes time to be a father |
| [01:38.11] |
Dad just flips the script screaming that he don't wanna be bothered |
| [01:41.40] |
You're left with one breath and a starving seed |
| [01:44.04] |
I feed em knowledge instead of the devil's trickery |
| [01:46.82] |
Now you fall into a section with eight dreams |
| [01:49.31] |
Farewell to your goals, I'm sympathetic to your needs |
| [01:52.50] |
No roof over your head, no family |
| [01:54.64] |
They warned you about the nigga, he was mad sneaky |
| [01:57.32] |
Now there's a pretty price to pay |
| [01:59.91] |
What can I say? It hits me in my heart that way |
| [02:02.40] |
You're down and out in the ghetto contemplating letting go of life |
| [02:05.98] |
But who's gonna take care of you know? |
| [02:08.02] |
Stay strong yo, try to get yourself together |
| [02:10.51] |
I promise you there will be days that's much better |
| [02:12.91] |
|
| [02:13.46] |

| [02:32.35] |
Yeah, you're looking for a better day |
| [02:33.89] |
|
| [02:34.69] |
Last but not least is the story of my life |
| [02:37.13] |
Straight zero, a loser who wants to be a hero |
| [02:39.96] |
I gotta save myself before I can sacrifice |
| [02:42.60] |
Saving your life cause I ain't living right |
| [02:44.99] |
Why trust me? I got problems, abusing substances |
| [02:47.98] |
Alcoholism, I'm chasing girls with big breastesess |
| [02:50.56] |
Hanging with them kids down the hall in the group home |
| [02:53.21] |
I'm twenty deep but yet I still feel alone |
| [02:55.75] |
I gotta stop depending on the bottle for the answers |
| [02:58.39] |
Before I end up in AA battling cancer |
| [03:01.12] |
But now my eyes can see the pain in the black community |
| [03:04.31] |
It seems though there ain't no unity |
| [03:06.35] |
Gun play today results in thoughtless killings |
| [03:08.99] |
Innocent little shorties turning into ruthless villains |
| [03:11.72] |
Now who's to blame for the game that we play? |
| [03:14.21] |
Tighten up y'all, tomorrow is a better day |
| [03:16.70] |
|
| [03:18.04] |
Even though the skies is grey around your way |
| [03:20.53] |
You're looking for a better day |
| [03:21.73] |
In due time the sun will shine around your way |
| [03:25.41] |
Yeah, you're looking for a better day |
| [03:27.65] |
Even though the skies is grey around your way |
| [03:31.03] |
You're looking for a better day |
| [03:32.58] |
In due time the sun will shine around your way |
| [03:36.36] |
You're looking for a better day |
| [03:42.35] |
You're looking for a better day |
| [03:47.59] |
You're looking for a better day |
| [03:53.01] |
You're looking for a better day |
