[Chorus: Zi]
A little bit of love a little bit of hope
A little bit of dough ‘cause we’re tired of being broke
A little bit of peace a little bit of time
A little bit help ‘cause we all needed sometimes
And we’d be living better living better living better
Yeah we’d be living better living better living better
And we’d be living better living better living better
Yeah we’d be living better
[Verse 1: Zi]
I do this with my heart making noise ‘til we all make it
Got troubles with the law so my boy hasn’t called lately
You’ve listened to your heart made the choice now your heart’s aching
Life is too hard to enjoy reincarnation
I’m begging customs to let my words go across nations
A sacrifice is a bad deal ‘cause you never know when it starts paying
And God is who we say we got faith in
But when he doesn’t answer it’s funny how we’re so quick to call Satan
If time is money I just can afford to be patient
The landlord’s racist so we gotta move
Nice clothes good food hate this why I gotta choose
No matter what the game is I don’t know how to lose
But will I ever make it I’m running out of clues
[Chorus: Zi]
A little bit of love a little bit of hope
A little bit of dough ‘cause we’re tired of being broke
A little bit of peace a little bit of time
A little bit help ‘cause we all needed sometimes
And we’d be living better living better living better
Yeah we’d be living better living better living better
And we’d be living better living better living better
Yeah we’d be living better
[Verse 2: Zi]
They treat us like Pampers thinking we’re gon’ take this shit
His mother’s got cancer and someone’s gotta pay for this
Why don’t we care about the problem if everybody’s facing it
Some people did a lot but nobody gave a shit
Damn I hope it ain’t what I think it is
My girlfriend’s period is late again
And who am I to choose
To not let the baby live
But I can’t even take care of you
How the fuck I’ma raise a kid
Time I keep wasting it
And it will it quit running if I quit chasing it
Shit forget about the drugs and the guns
‘Cause stress is really what we die from
A revolution was in the air now I got it my lungs
They might be sleeping but the people are not dumb
Where I’m from
A money problem’s like a butt whole everybody’s got one
[Chorus: Zi]
A little bit of love a little bit of hope
A little bit of dough ‘cause we’re tired of being broke
A little bit of peace a little bit of time
A little bit help ‘cause we all needed sometimes
And we’d be living better living better living better
Yeah we’d be living better living better living better
And we’d be living better living better living better
Yeah we’d be living better
[Verse 3: Zi]
Having 2 jobs is now the norm so kids grow up by themselves
Too young to watch porn but old enough to go to jail
See it’s the calm before the storm and this is the alarm bell
I’m taking the bull by the horns with or without your help
We’re getting trapped in gaps
And no exaggeration I just rap the fact
The turtle keeps running while the rabbit takes a nap
Only the strong survive that’s how the jungle is
It’s like we can’t make a move without stumbling
Shit I ain’t knocking fuck it man I’m coming in
With a whole group of people screaming fuck the government
Too proud to beg and too tired of struggling
So every fucking thing there is I’m running with
They wonder why he committed suicide he was too young for this
But they don’t realize what’s the point in being alive if you don’t exist
[Chorus: Zi]
A little bit of love a little bit of hope
A little bit of dough ‘cause we’re tired of being broke
A little bit of peace a little bit of time
A little bit help ‘cause we all needed sometimes
And we’d be living better living better living better
Yeah we’d be living better living better living better
And we’d be living better living better living better
Yeah we’d be living better
