| Now this is how it is to wake up with your pockets tapped out, you’re ass out
|
| It’s nowhere to turn, you get burned
|
| You wanna see the sun but all you get is rainy weather
|
| Word life kid, things can only get better
|
| You’re fresh out the beast, no peace on your earth
|
| Searching for the end of the rainbow it gets worse
|
| No occupation without an education
|
| You’re facing expiration in a six-foot location
|
| Life is building stress on your brain
|
| Every other day you find it harder to maintain
|
| But you gotta for your seeds' sake don’t break
|
| Stay strong for your queen, kid, it won’t be long
|
| Till you overcome to obstacles stopping you from prospering
|
| No more five to ten bids up at Sing Sing
|
| And life gets no easier, you gotta see your way to resist temptation
|
| Cause soon there’ll be a better day
|
| Even though the skies is grey around your way
|
| You’re looking for a better day
|
| In due time the sun will shine around your way
|
| Yeah, you’re looking for a better day
|
| Even though the skies is grey around your way
|
| You’re looking for a better day
|
| In due time the sun will shine around your way
|
| You’re looking for a better day
|
| Once again? |
| I can see? |
| nine months down the line, it’s hard to believe
|
| But that’s what’s going on in this crazy world today
|
| You got cats who wanna lay back and make babies
|
| But when it comes time to be a father
|
| Dad just flips the script screaming that he don’t wanna be bothered
|
| You’re left with one breath and a starving seed
|
| I feed em knowledge instead of the devil’s trickery
|
| Now you fall into a section with eight dreams
|
| Farewell to your goals, I’m sympathetic to your needs
|
| No roof over your head, no family
|
| They warned you about the nigga, he was mad sneaky
|
| Now there’s a pretty price to pay
|
| What can I say? |
| It hits me in my heart that way
|
| You’re down and out in the ghetto contemplating letting go of life
|
| But who’s gonna take care of you know?
|
| Stay strong yo, try to get yourself together
|
| I promise you there will be days that’s much better
|
| Even though the skies is grey around your way
|
| You’re looking for a better day
|
| In due time the sun will shine around your way
|
| Yeah, you’re looking for a better day
|
| Even though the skies is grey around your way
|
| You’re looking for a better day
|
| In due time the sun will shine around your way
|
| Yeah, you’re looking for a better day
|
| Last but not least is the story of my life
|
| Straight zero, a loser who wants to be a hero
|
| I gotta save myself before I can sacrifice
|
| Saving your life cause I ain’t living right
|
| Why trust me? |
| I got problems, abusing substances
|
| Alcoholism, I’m chasing girls with big breastesess
|
| Hanging with them kids down the hall in the group home
|
| I’m twenty deep but yet I still feel alone
|
| I gotta stop depending on the bottle for the answers
|
| Before I end up in AA battling cancer
|
| But now my eyes can see the pain in the black community
|
| It seems though there ain’t no unity
|
| Gun play today results in thoughtless killings
|
| Innocent little shorties turning into ruthless villains
|
| Now who’s to blame for the game that we play?
|
| Tighten up y’all, tomorrow is a better day
|
| Even though the skies is grey around your way
|
| You’re looking for a better day
|
| In due time the sun will shine around your way
|
| Yeah, you’re looking for a better day
|
| Even though the skies is grey around your way
|
| You’re looking for a better day
|
| In due time the sun will shine around your way
|
| You’re looking for a better day |
