Lyrics

I feel you

Better days

Its we all need

That's right, that's right

There's so much drama in this world today

Why must we struggle like this every day?

Why get on my knees so I can pray

And ask the God for a better way?

I wake up in the morning, I was stressin'

Stress is no good

Lookin' up in my cabinets

I see no food

Just strugglin' tryna make it

Make it to the end of week

And livin' check to check

Can my people feel me

And recently I was free from the penitentiary

Gotta see my P.O. before he violates me

I can hear him now

Tryna talk down me like a child

This shit is wild

God help my problems now

And these felonies preventin' me

To gettin' ample opportunities that I need

To be free

And why must I be harassed by the police?

And all I does doin' walkin' down the streets

Keeping my business to me

I need help for a me

I ask you God, can you give me strength?

I pray that my life could be better than this

So much frustration and complications of livin' poverty exists

And these temptations of leavin' clean state is at risk

I was raised in this game with a few choices to play

I have only hope for change

And a better way

I hear the sounds of gunshots

I hope another life ain't claimed

I turn to God

And hope for better days

There's so much drama in this world today

Why must we struggle like this every day?

Why get on my knees so I can pray

And ask the God for a better way? (And for better days)

There's so much drama in this world today

Why must we struggle like this every day?

I get on my knees so I can pray

And ask the God for a better way?

There's so much pain that's caused in this world

Tryna comprehend the reason for this war

But the reason's so vague

I Often fantasize livin' in a world with peace

And no more strugglin' tryna get a handout or somethin' to eat

And welfare is for the needy to depend on

Really it destroys the lives of family

What it's built on

I'm tryna educate, communicate

The real agenda of poverty

And of how government relate

And what's at stake

That's why so many brothers locked up in jail

And from a faulty judicial system

We livin' in hell

The Constitution was in place

But not for my race

It's so hard for me imaginin' why this country is a better place

There's so much drama in this world today

Why must we struggle like this every day?

Why get on my knees so I can pray

And ask the God for a better way? (And for some better days)

There's so much drama in this world today

Why must we struggle like this every day?

Why get on my knees so I can pray

And ask the God for a better way?

I used to think about this when I was younger

The poverty

Believer what don't kill you

It makes you stronger

I thank the Lord for everything he's given me

A good common street sense

To survivin' society

I used to stand up on the corners

And slang a grain of sand

I used to scam

It was my hustle

I was made man

And mackin to the baddest chicks

The disses had to be a mention

They on my dick 'cause got a car, but switch 'em, got to mention

Open up the jail cell

Homie bailed out

He got his girl and got some coochie to knock out

I just clocked some cash

Gotta pickup another zone

You spent another day in my life

Life goes on

There's so much drama in this world today

Why must we struggle like this every day?

Why get on my knees so I can pray

And ask the God for a better way? (And for some better days)

There's so much drama in this world today

Why must we struggle like this every day?

Why get on my knees so I can pray

And ask the God for a better way? (And for some better days)

There's so much drama in this world today

Why must we struggle like this every day?

Why get on my knees so I can pray

And ask the God for a better way? (And for some better days)
