My daddy died, I died inside, my momma still crying
All of us broken, hard to see, my brother's teary-eyed
Got on my knees, shit, it was hard, I'm tryna pray to God
But I found myself, oh, getting angry, asking Him why
I know I'm not supposed to question You, but what's the reason?
I know You taught me not to walk by sight and what I see
They see the money, see the fame, but they don't see me, like oh Lord
It's getting cold outside, oh, will You cover me, like oh Lord?
I know You the light, You the light when it gets dark
Must be on the other side, won't see it till we all gone
Seen my dog last breath, I realized we all gotta go someday
And I hope my people, oh-oh, remember me
I done put my blood and tears into these melodies
Writing songs and breakin' chains so we could all be free
Put my story on front page so all the youngins see
Everything you taught me when the world is sittin' on your shoulders
Only way is through the storm, that's how you gettin' stronger
Now I see you breakin' down, my mama
I hear the words Grandma would tell us
Better
Better days
Better days are coming
Oh, better
Better days
Better days are coming
And every dream I had in life I already did
I'm not content, yeah, I'm just grateful, I know it's more to get
I'm one of one, ain't too many nigga make it out of here
The chosen one, I know I'm only here because I'm God-sent
It's to the point I feel the devil trying to get to me
I'm fighting demons all alone, oh, I've been losing sleep
Trying to keep my head from drowning, I've been sinking deep
Holding on, losing not an option when they count on me
Know it will all get better, you made me believe
You ain't right next to me, but you still see
I make you proud, I'm living out your legacy
But I wish you were here, oh, telling me
Better
Better days
Better days are coming
Oh, better
Better days
Better days are coming
Oh, better
Better days
Better days are coming
Oh, better
Better days
Better days are coming
Oh, better
Better days
Oh, Mama
Better days are coming
I know it, I believe it, they're coming
Better
Oh, better days
Better days
Better days are coming
Oh, she said trouble won't last always
Oh, better
Better days
She said trouble won't last always
Better days are coming
Mama said trouble won't last always
Oh, better
Better days
Trouble won't last always, Mama
Better days are coming
