Lyrics Do Better - Nappy Roots

Do Better

Yesterday was thunder and storming, I woke up early this morning
I noticed blue skies, while I was yawning
Grabbed a lighter, hit the marijuana and got my day going
On my momma, this the moment I’m a seize &blame no one
I pologize to my haters, how I survived is annoying
I’m alive, through hope and faith, practice my patience and grind
In due time, the fake are exposed, to even the blind
Meanwhile I’m minding mine, while I’m peaking through blinds
Intervention is divine, if we depend on religion
But my position over time, I could care less of it isn’t
Communication only works, after you talk, if you listen
If your speaking from privilege make sure your walking the distance
I’m just trying to do better, better
Up on my feet and Im here to stay
I just know there’s something better, better
Out there for me, just gotta find my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… just gotta find my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… just gotta find my way
Life is good, life is good life is good
Life can be amazing when you view it like you should
I believe my fellow humans will continue this path
All lives matter but all lives ain’t living this bad
I got faith in all y’all who have faith in god
Whether he come or not just know on earth you still play a part
I hope I get to right my wrongs before my time expire
If I don’t Just know I thought about it down to the wire
And I Promise
I’m just trying to do better, better
Up on my feet and Im here to stay
I just know there’s something better, better
Out there for me, just gotta find my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… just gotta find my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… just gotta find my way
Wanna leave better place for our sons and our daughters
Wanna revolution, but don’t wanna be a martyr
Wanna pick up a picket sign, run away with the protesters
But don’t wanna share the same fate as our ancestors
Gotta go to court tomorrow, and deal with this court Jester
They doing it for sport, we doin it for
Justice
Doing it at sunrise, doing after dark
Doing it for the whole, just trying to do my part
I’m just trying to do better, better
Up on my feet and Im here to stay
I just know there’s something better, better
Out there for me, just gotta find my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… just gotta find my way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… just gotta find my way
In the past I was a bully now I’m tryna be best
Rather do some good business 'stead of tryna finesse
Put my people on as opposed to gettin 'em on
Tryna right so many wrongs that’s been written in stone
Can’t erase what happened all we can control is the present
Usin' different methods every day it’s all about ethics
Be more empathetic with it let my foot off the pedal
Ain’t lookin for no gold medal, just tryna do better
Nappy
