Better Days

I always knew that there'd be better days As soon as I arrive I get the bank You tried to beat me down I bet you can’t I'on need ya permission I got my eye on the mission And I ain’t stoppin for fishin but I got the bait It’s a real cold world but I got faith Man keep letting me down with all the hate It’s about that time for me to speak my mind Y’all better fall in line hear what I say It’s my go but I ain't here for the photo It’s my life and this right here is a promo California to Lexington Smiling emoticon Got these new photo ops Got this smile from my mom n pops And I passed it on to my crops Ain’t no way they on chopping blocks Life’s all about wins and flops At times you get Molly whopped Workin' around the clock just to see 'em buy up the block Ain’t stoppin' till we on top I ain’t worried bout crooked cops I’m just tryna stay sane I ain’t no worryin bout the past Just tryna make my next days better than my last But if u do me wrong naa u'on get a pass Yeah I can forgive you but you might have to catch these hands I’m sayin' That’s why I pray to the sky Hope it keep me from doing stupid things that I might I’m just a black man living in America is my plight At times the American dream seems a lil Sci-Fi Somehow I still fly high I’m just tryna keep it real The truth can be hard to swallow But you gotta take the pill For real In the spirit of L Hill We marchin' on to Zion Steady divin' on the pylons n I always knew that there'd be better days As soon as I arrive I get the bank You tried to beat me down I bet you can’t I'on need ya permission I got my eye on the mission And I ain’t stoppin for fishin but I got the bait yeah It’s a real cold world but I got faith yeah Man keep letting me down with all the hate yeah It’s about that time for me to speak my mind Y’all better fall in line hear what I say I used to sit n dream of better days Always had the ball in my hand I need better plays Better coaching if ya will I got the skills to be hella great Master of my fate but I know God got the last say I’m all for LeBron but I’m like Kobe no passay Cuz all I know is score score is what my family say Yeah It’s gonna be a brighter day Secure the bag perseverance plus a little faith Of mustard seeds you must agree That I am embodiment of king that gives everything for believes And proceeds to move with wisdom do nothin' without his Queen I’m a team player do nothin' without my team Facts It’s more to life than stacks It’s more to life than Cadillac's and diamonds in the back Be wary of the Judases they’ll stab you in the back Keep searchin' for that passion like a fiend searchin' for crack And that's real I always knew that there'd be better days As soon as I arrive I get the bank You tried to beat me down I bet you can’t I'on need ya permission I got my eye on the mission And I ain’t stoppin' for fishin' but I got the bait yeah It’s a real cold world but I got faith yeah Man keep letting me down with all the hate yeah It’s about that time for me to speak my mind Y’all better fall in line hear what I say I'm just tryna keep it real The truth can be hard to swallow But you gotta take the pill I'm just tryna keep it real The truth can be hard to swallow You already know the deal
