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

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

The truth can be hard to swallow
You already know the deal
