Good Life

[Hook]
Momma used to tell me there’d be days like this
Pastor used to say I was anointed for this
Praying for the day I give this shit to my kids
Just want a good life is that so much to give

[Verse 1]
This shit feels like an anthem
This shit feels like the answer to the prayers that I’ve been asking
So long for the encore been replacing all the laughter
And I been fighting like a fucking dog and praying like a pastor
I’ll x out every square playing games inside my faction
Cause I’m tired of the do less and talk more rappers
Only give to charity for PR rappers
Those who preach about change but hardly show no action
Your demise will be televised for a live reaction
I'm still not content with the shit I got on my plate
Long talks with God got me questioning my mindstate
I’m reading through the holy book, but we ain't on the same page
This shit feel like the last days, been living in a dark haze
Feeling like a bird that’s been trapped inside a fucking cage
Backstage drained I’m just tryna find my own way
Praying that my pain would be someone else’s gain, yeah
Look

Momma used to tell me there’d be days like this
Pastor used to tell me I’m anointed for this
Praying for the day I can give this to my kids
Just want a good life is that so much to give

[Verse 2]
This the shit that I envisioned way back in middle school
Spittin cyphers in the bus now I’m rapping in a booth
Who knew they’d charge an arm and leg when tryna to pay my dues
So I'ma cash my check in cause I want my payments too
These lyrics in my mind been divinely orchestrated
Descendant of the Most High and my stories narrated
By the goats so I know I'm in a good location
Placing faith in the lessons of the hip-hop legends
I been told to take stock of all my personal investments
Throwing stones from a glass house tryna break down a glass ceiling
Cause I've been glassing competition like my fist ain't bleeding
I been knocked down and stomped out but I’m still here breathing
I’m tryna fly high before my wings get clipped
And my brothers tryna make it 'fore they ass get shipped
Off to jail with no bail and get they dignity stripped
In a nation full of racists we need a change in this shit, look

[Hook]
Momma used to tell me there’d be days like this

Praying for the day I can give this to my kids
