[ti: Better Days]
[length: 04:14]
[00:00.60]I done seen some better days before
[00:03.01]Feeling like forever was a long time ago
[00:05.82]Balancing high and the lows
[00:08.00]Get your blindfold, only God knows
[00:11.03]I done seen some better days before
[00:13.45]Feeling like forever was a long time ago
[00:16.11]Balancing high and the lows
[00:18.32]Get your blindfold, only God knows
[00:20.22]Look, Twin, don’t forget the better days, we been friends since ten
[00:23.45]Back then we told people we cousins, kin
[00:26.22]The buses from my school couldn’t come to where I lived
[00:28.66]So my mama used to drop me at your crib, like 4:00, maybe 5:00 a.m.
[00:32.50]I ain’t get no good sleep ’til I was 27
[00:35.09]I used to wear my big bro clothes
[00:36.45]You used to let me borrow some of yo’ clothes
[00:38.49]I thought that I looked funny in ’em
[00:40.09]It’s only you and – yo’ parents use to treat me like they third son
[00:43.95]I’m the first one bucking on any
[00:45.34]Person try na make you feel hurt or something
[00:47.64]You my brother, I’d murder something for you
[00:49.34]Throw that dirty – into the Chattahoochee
[00:51.54]You Louis, I’ll be Gucci
[00:52.68]We was Webbie and Boosie with the low fade
[00:54.74]Brush my hair for days, still ain’t have no waves
[00:57.01]Now we talking through a window while you in a cage
[00:59.47]I’ma come get you when you figure out your day
[01:01.62]I was in and out the states, you was rapping on a rage
[01:04.22]Had Atlanta going crazy
[01:05.44]I was packing out the stage in different places
[01:07.56]You hit me, said, Cassandra had your baby
[01:09.37]The day that Kobe died, I’m at the Grammy’s in L.A.
[01:11.90]Pray Allah can show you grace and the law stay out the way
[01:14.38]But when you caught that other case
[01:15.82]I ain’t know what yo’ a- was thinking
[01:17.22]My mama said to say, “You ain’t too old to get a spanking
[01:19.58]Still one of her children
[01:21.08]But she feel like you need to be thankful you still here
[01:23.30]I done seen some better days before
[01:25.60]Feeling like forever was a long time ago
[01:28.36]Balancing high and the lows
[01:30.53]Get your blindfold, only God knows
[01:33.46]I done seen some better days before
[01:36.02]Feeling like forever was a long time ago
[01:38.75]Balancing high and the lows
[01:40.75]Get your blindfold, only God knows
[01:44.58]Oh-oh-oh
[01:47.17]Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
[01:49.66]Oh-oh-oh
[01:51.97]Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
[01:54.56]Oh-oh-oh
[01:57.22]Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
[01:59.71]Oh-oh-oh
[02:02.45]Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
[02:04.24]Life gets too real, may kill you
[02:06.88]Like skills you build make you choose
[02:09.26]Between old ties and new ways
[02:11.59]Make friends with real snakes, false norms and true values
[02:14.63]Compute it to see through it, we do it
[02:17.29]Take a moment to breath and achieve through it
[02:19.44]Stay free through it
[02:20.58]’Cause your vision makes me slave to our plans for better days
[02:23.15]Uh, look, check, to make it to forever took a very long time
[02:26.73]I took every wrong turn
[02:28.37]Packing long lines just for rapping long words
[02:30.57]F- a net worth, I made a million off of merch
[02:33.55]Pay the bills first and then invest against Versus
[02:36.06]Regret -, the lessons, the blessings, the journey
[02:38.66]Agitate the white guilt, explain the black burden
[02:41.05]The stresses, the interest, the exit, the purpose
[02:43.86]Praying that we see some better days between worse ones
[02:46.42]Nothing’s ever perfect, but I made it so my mom’s ain’t working
[02:49.29]Off of murking instrumentals and it’s no coincidence when I was little, I was very sensitive
[02:53.73]Never was talkative, n-, don’t even try and tickle him
[02:56.15]Me and my brothers and sis’ and them slept
[02:58.44]In the same room, suffered the same afflictions
[03:00.28]See the reflection of a n- that never liked attention
[03:03.33]Or need acceptance from strangers coming in mentions
[03:05.92]I got protection, Papa had the right prediction
[03:08.44]Said I was destined to be whatever I envisioned
[03:11.00]The manifested blessing that I made it out the club at twenty-seven
[03:14.58]No weapon was formed against me, I formed against the weapon
[03:17.37]Tried to stretch him, but n- sprinting
[03:19.12]If we don’t catch him, then God’ll get him then
[03:21.23]We ain’t gotta get in the karma of being killer man
[03:23.82]But you did in our better days, now I miss my friend
[03:27.01]I done seen some better days before
[03:29.79]Feeling like forever was a long time ago
[03:37.21]I done seen some better days before
[03:39.73]Feeling like forever was a long time ago
[03:47.57]
