Better Days.

Verse 1:

Done seen some pain:
An open view to a lot of rain
And never seen the same (never seen the same)
A tainted lens, a few severed frames
I embraced the shade (embraced the shade)
Been an escapade to, a wave of change
And didn't drown away
Thank God I didn't drown away, now I can say
Doubtin inward is a loss (dirt)
I considered my own cost (worth)
Made my self my own boss (work)
Scheming cooking my own sauce (worse x 3)
Dripping in my confidence of pace, my escape
Cause I used to be my prisoner estate, aye
Pride steep, never really had an ID
Was living learning tryna find me
Elevated with education, I am in the makin, on a light beam
Heavy headed with the soul glow
Almost gave up on the low low
Contemplated every medication, I would end my life
A steady slow go, but oh no (no)
I had to keep on pushing through
Think on Roots
Kunta Kente with the reppin, we are Groot
I am proof, ooo
Pressing with a level mind
So when it's rough I'm always looking for the better times

Pre-Chorus // Chorus:

Tell your fear, depression, pain move out the way
This is just a momentary crowded space
Pick ya head up, get ya focus, andale
Them sunny waves coming
So you got to see them better days

Better Days, better Days, I can see the
Better Days, better Days, I can see the
Better Days, better Days, I can see the
Better Days, Better Days, I can seem em coming
(x2)

Verse 2:

A few years ago
I faced the tide, my biggest fear inside
Was to lose control (lose control)
My lofty goals, all washed aside
I couldn't dry the mold (couldn't dry the mold)
Hide and fold was an option though
Out the know was the obstacle
Cause I thought a job was the pot of gold
Graduated with a dope degree
Got my master's and I hoped to be
Stacking money to a noble peak
But unemployment really lowered me (yuh yuh)
I thought the man was really s'posed to make, all the bank
In the marriage, if he didn't he was bait, aye
Oddly, had to really really dodge me
Push to see the bigger crime scene
Motivated by opinions stated but the vision jaded and it robbed me then they put me on the blacklist
Made me something not to chat with
Growing hatred, cause I see the fakin
And it had me aching even past tense (past tense tense)
I had to keep on trucking through, think on "U"
Hauling out my stagnant feelings is the move
With the crew ooo
Pressing with the level mind
So when it's rough I'm always looking for the better times

Pre-Chorus // Hook
