A Cry For Better (feat. Kiid K)

A cry for better, pain doesn't last forever
Story of my family, broken homes
Brothers and sisters
Just know, we're family to the end

Today I shed a tears for each of my children
Tears of joy and sadness
And the pain we've been living
Words from my mother
And now I have words for you, Mama
I'ma always love you
Must we all
Even though we've been through it all
But I'm blessed
With a mother who fights when it gets hard
Never turned us away or let us down
We knew you were stressed
But you gave us your best to see a smile
Just look at us now, all grown up
Shed tears for years and now we know so much
Been through pain and misery
And look what it did to me
Got me inscribing about surviving through history
It wasn't you mama, it was the smoking and drinking
That had you not thinking that your boat was sinking
Until then, the day of your surgery
From a painful heart attack
That could've took you away from me
But then you survived
That's when I realized
God came to get her
It wasn't about death, it was a cry for better
A cry for better, A cry for better

I know this pain won't last forever
It's only a cry for better
A cry for better, A cry for better
This pain won't last forever

The life of my father
A man I couldn't follow
There'll always be love
But the giving is so sorrow
Even though he was there
But never seemed to care
About our dreams and the love of our career
Drink beer, go to work, and plays the game
Was like his everyday thing, routine
Ask for a dollar, he'll never have change
Cry for love and he'll throw you back pain
Keep you in the rain with no umbrella
Is the position of my father, oh what a fella
But I know there's a pain in his heart he won't share
But pain become love and one day it'll come near
Cause a real man, never bite his tongue
Or hold a grudge
He'll apologize and I'll accept it cos there's still love
But it's better now than never
This is not a cry for love, it's a cry for better

I know this pain won't last forever
It's only a cry for better, a cry for better, a cry for better
This pain won't last forever
I know this pain won't last forever
It's only a cry for better, a cry for better, a cry for better
This pain won't last forever

I cry for my family like every day
I bless them with my heart with every pray
I thank my mom for the love and props for the pain
Cos they gave me both sides of life, joy and rain
Smarter my brain to the game
Facing the real world with a better way to maintain
Even though we didn't have the best of living
Just remember you made best to better your children
So don't feel sorry with full of mistakes
If that's what it took for better
Then go for what it takes
Tears, pain, blood, whatever the painful cost
Equals to one love and I'm here for it all
Cos there'll always be love, no matter what
Now yawl divorced, but your hearts never shut
Hey, you got kids, you're our parents forever
Don't drop a tear, just remember, it's only a cry for better

I know this pain won't last forever
It's only a cry for better, A cry for better, a cry for better
This pain won't last forever
I know this pain won't last forever
It's only a cry for better, A cry for better, a cry for better
This pain won't last forever
