Better Days (feat. Besten)

Piper
Look

As I step into the new year, I leave the past behind
And pray tomorrow is a new day, the bad's unjustified
What I find is what I get, that's what they say but anyway
Ain't no rules against praying, meditation, manifest a better way
Into 2022, I'm sick of 2021
Had more haters than before, that made me wish I had a gun
Fell in love with a Libra, we was merely having fun
If we're meant to be we'll be, that's how it works beneath the sun
That's how it works
And mama says I need a congregation of a church
Been to busy chasing money tryna get us out the dirt
Gotta focus though I miss how shawty used to make it twerk
And every time I think about it swear to God I always smirk
Left that shit in the past
Am I smiling, am I sad or frowny under this mask?
I been pushing since a youngin' I won't make it by chance
Writing lyrics puts a kid in a trance

I'm shooting my shots everywhere tryna make it better
Get on my knees everyday praying for a better day
I'm sick and tired of these scars
Tired of wearing these masks
I wonder just how long is this gon last
Cause the darker days seem to overshadow all the good ones
Overshadow all the good ones
Yeah

Pain is an illusion and they say that hurt is temporal
The pain of being bored cause you can't afford cable
The pain of being hungry with no food on the table
This pain will never faze cause I know that God is able
Where the hell was daddy at when mama was here?
Prolly getting bread to feed the outside marriage affair
Been suicidal since 12 but my daddy don't care
Been depressed, got anxiety and that shit is real
I hardly socialize, I can barely sleep at night
And when I do I wake up in the middle of the night between 2 and 5
I'm traumatized, Hmm
Happiness is just a fantasy, I try to fantasize
Maybe I'll be happy in another life not this one
Have you ever wondered why too many niggas got pistols?
Life is pain and pain is life, wish I never existed
But I'm here for a purpose
Get the bag, get the loot, get the stash with my niggas

Shooting my shots on every way (Everyway, everyway)
Tryna make it to a better day, yeah
I get on my knees everyday
Praying for a better day
I'm sick and tired of these scars

I'm shooting my shots everywhere tryna make it better
Get on my knees everyday praying for a better day
I'm sick and tired of these scars
Tired of wearing these masks
I wonder just how long is this gon last
Cause the darker days seem to overshadow all the good ones
Overshadow all the good ones
Yeah
