Lyrics

(Ah) I, (ah) I, (ah) I, (ah)
I remember working in that Urban Outfitters
Clocking in, just folding up jeans (ooh)
Singing down in Memphis tryna be a star
Four songs on a purple CD
Ooh (ah), baby had them big dreams, I placed a bet on me
Folks laugh, I tell 'em, "You gon' see"
Way back, I'm talkin' old navy
I thought I hit the lottery (ah)
But nowadays, I just wanna get my shine
They say all things work out in due time
But I'm overdue, watch the clocks tick-tock
And I'm still tryna believe in (ah)
Those better days (ah)
Looking for better days (ah)
Tryna believe (ah) in better days (ah)
Better days, oh (ooh)
Kirby (hey, ooh), I know sometimes it gets hard
But as your grand mama Cora would say
"Better days, better days are coming" (hey, ooh)
Now all my ancestors looking like, "Hey, girl
You're living out our dreams, you've seen the whole world
For all the pain we lived, you made it worth it
You seen the happy end, you made us proud, proud, yeah"
If pressure makes diamonds (ah, diamonds)
These tears must be mine, they're (mine)
Still asking where mine is when I'm looking for (ah)
Those better days (ah)
Wanna see better days (I just wanna see) (ah)
I wanna believe in better days (I gotta see) (ah, ah)
Better days, yeah, oh, ooh (la-la-la)
Oh, ooh (la-la-la) (I wanna see)
Yeah, ooh (la-la-la) (I'm tryna see)
Hey, ooh (la-la-la) (I gotta)
I know I'll make it somehow
I just wanna make the ancestors proud (proud)
I know I'll make it somehow (how)
I just wanna make the an-
Wanna make the ancestors proud
Oh, better days, yeah, better days, oh, better days, better days
Better days (better), better days (better)
Better, better, better (better days)
Better, better, better (better days)
Better, oh, better days (better days), better days (better days)
Better days (better days), better days
Better days
