[00:01.00]Better days, better days, better days
[00:03.100]
[00:05.00]Hey, better days
[00:06.99]
[00:07.100]Got me thinking bout better days
[00:10.00]
[00:11.01]Thinkin' back as an adolescent
[00:13.09]Who would've guessed that in my future years
[00:15.10]I'd be stressin'
[00:16.09]Some say the ghetto's sick and corrupted
[00:18.09]Plus my P.O. won't let me hang
[00:20.10]With the brothers I grew up with
[00:22.09]Tryin' to keep my head up and stay strong
[00:24.10]All my homies slingin' K.O. all day long
[00:26.09]But they wrong, so I'm solo and so broke
[00:29.10]Saving up for some Jordans cause they dope
[00:32.09]I got a girl and I love her but she broke too
[00:34.10]And so am I, I can't take her to the place she wanna go to
[00:38.10]So we arguing, play fight, all day and night
[00:41.09]Making passionate love to the daylight
[00:43.10]Plus we about to get evicted, can't pay the rent
[00:46.10]Guess it's time to see who really is your friend
[00:49.09]Tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed
[00:51.10]So many blessings while we stressin'
[00:53.09]Lookin' for them better days
[00:55.10]Always talkin' shit
[00:57.09]Took your advice and did the opposite
[01:00.10]Just being young and stupid
[01:02.100]
[01:04.00]Oh, I haven't been all that you could hope for
[01:08.09]But if you'd held on a little longer
[01:11.09]You'd've had more reasons to drown
[01:14.00]
[01:14.99]Oh, so many questions
[01:19.10]But I'm talkin' to myself
[01:22.10]I know that you can't hear me anymore
[01:25.09]Not anymore
[01:27.10]So much to do
[01:30.09]And most of all the lies
[01:33.09]I know that you can't hear me anymore
[01:36.10]Not anymore
[01:38.09]Now me and you was real cool
[01:40.09]Hell on them square fools
[01:41.10]Since back in high school we was true
[01:43.09]Me and you, only parted or separated
[01:46.10]We stayed faded, affiliated with gangbangers and still made it
[01:49.09]Up in the gym, mess with me, gotta mess with him
[01:52.09]Still dressin' like grown men when rollin'
[01:54.10]Out in the dark smokin' new boards, gamin' marks
[01:57.09]Got a place in my heart, homie stay smart
[02:00.10]Locked you up in the pen and gave you three to ten
[02:03.10]I sent you letters with naked flicks of old friends
[02:06.09]Hopin' you well, I know it's hell doin' time in the cells
[02:09.10]You need mail when you in jail
[02:11.09]And me, I'm doin' cool
[02:13.10]I settled down, had a family, workin' at night school
[02:16.09]Every once in a while I reminisce
[02:19.09]And I wonder how we ever came to this
[02:21.10]I miss the better days
[02:22.10]Always talkin' shit
[02:24.09]Took your advice and did the opposite
[02:27.10]Just bein' young and stupid
[02:30.10]And I, I haven't been all that you could've hoped for
[02:35.10]But if you'd held on a little longer
[02:38.09]You'd have had more reasons to be proud
[02:40.99]
[02:41.100]I have so many questions
[02:46.09]But I'm talkin' to myself
[02:49.10]I know that you can't hear me anymore, not anymore
[02:54.10]So much to do
[02:57.09]And most of all to lie
[03:00.09]But I know that you can't hear me anymore, not anymore
[03:05.09]Time to question our lifestyle, look how we live
[03:07.10]Smokin' weed like it ain't no thing
[03:09.09]So even kids wanna try now
[03:11.10]Then lie down and get ran through
[03:13.09]Nobody watches, I'm clockin' the evil man too
[03:16.10]Faced with the demons, addicted to hearin' victims screamin'
[03:19.09]Guess we was evil since birth, brought like a cursed seed
[03:22.09]Cause even our birthdays is cursed days
[03:24.09]A born thug in the first place, the worst ways
[03:27.09]I love to see the block in peace
[03:29.10]With no more dealers and crooked cops
[03:31.09]The only way to stop the peace
[03:33.09]And only we can change
[03:34.10]It's up to us to clean up the streets, it ain't the same
[03:37.09]Too many murders, too many funerals, and too many tears
[03:40.09]Just seen another brother burn, plus I knew him for years
[03:43.10]Passed by his family, but what could I say
[03:45.09]Keep your head up and try to keep the faith
[03:48.10]And pray for better days
[03:49.09]Always talkin' shit
[03:51.09]Took your advice and did the opposite
[03:54.09]Just bein' young and stupid
[03:57.10]Got no money, got no dreams
[04:00.09]That haven't been all that you could hope for
[04:02.10]But if you held on a little longer
[04:05.09]You'd have had more reasons to be proud
[04:08.09]I have so many questions
[04:13.09]But I'm talkin' to myself
[04:16.10]I know that you can't hear me anymore
[04:19.10]Not anymore
[04:21.09]So much to do
[04:24.10]And most of all to lie
[04:27.09]I know that you can't hear me anymore
[04:30.09]Not anymore
[04:32.00]
[04:34.100]Not anymore
[04:37.00]
[05:05.00]Not anymore
[05:06.01]
