Better Days
[Intro / Hook]
Yeah… uh
I’ve been walking through the rain, searching for the rays
Clouds fade away, I can see them better days
Pain in my chest, but I turn it to praise
From the struggle, from the hustle — here come better days
[Chorus]
Better days, they on the way, I can feel it in my soul
Climbed up from the bottom, had to fight to take control
No more chains, no more weight, watch me finally break the hold
Better days, yeah, they coming — let the brighter story unfold
[Verse 1]
I remember nights cold, hunger in my belly
Dreams heavy on my mind, posted by the telly
Mama working two jobs, pockets nearly empty
But she kept hope alive, never once did she let me
Fall victim to the streets, I had bigger visions
Writing rhymes in my notebook, speaking my ambition
Now I spit truth raw, no need for superstition
Every scar on my soul just fueled my mission
[Hook]
Uh, from the pain to the flames, let the past burn away
Rise above the storm clouds, welcome to a new day
I can see the sunshine breaking through the haze
Yeah, I know, I know… here come better days
[Verse 2]
Tears dried, pride high, walking with my head strong
Every loss was a lesson, had to learn to stand long
Friends turned ghosts, but the real stayed beside me
Enemies plotting, but the struggle couldn’t hide me
Now I shine bright, living proof you can make it
The system said I’d fail, but my spirit couldn’t fake it
Turn the pressure into power, every moment, gotta take it
Life is more than survival, it’s the joy when you shape it
[Chorus]
Better days, they on the way, I can feel it in my soul
Climbed up from the bottom, had to fight to take control
No more chains, no more weight, watch me finally break the hold
Better days, yeah, they coming — let the brighter story unfold
[Bridge]
(Yeah…)
Hold on tight, don’t you ever let go
Even when the nights dark, let your inner light glow
Storms fade quick, but the strength only grows
Better days rising, everybody gon’ know
[Verse 3]
Now I’m living what I prayed for, thankful every second
The pain made a king, now the crown’s what I’m reppin’
Blessings in my path, every step is a lesson
Grateful for the dark times that gave me direction
Now I spit for the people still stuck in the fight
Let ‘em know you ain’t alone, better days bring light
Keep your head to the sky, don’t give up on the prize
‘Cause tomorrow brings the sunshine straight through your eyes
[Outro / Hook]
From the pain to the flames, let the past burn away
Rise above the storm clouds, welcome to a new day
I can see the sunshine breaking through the haze
Yeah, I know, I know… here come better days
[Final Chorus]
Better days, they on the way, I can feel it in my soul
Climbed up from the bottom, had to fight to take control
No more chains, no more weight, watch me finally break the hold
Better days, yeah, they coming — let the brighter story unfold
