Better Days (explicit) - WC[00:00:00]
Nineteen-ninety-eight damn I can't believe it[00:00:20]
Whoever thought throughout the drama we'd live to see it[00:00:22]
So many of us done lost lives to the streets[00:00:25]
As we reminisce I'm pourin liquor for the deceased[00:00:27]
Thinkin bout the times that I spent with many of em[00:00:29]
Hopin that the Lord let me see the millenium[00:00:32]
Trapped in this ghetto main seekin better days[00:00:34]
Fightin for my conscience tryin to shake these wicked ways[00:00:37]
I know it's wrong but it's hard to change[00:00:39]
All my life all I ever knew was hustle and game[00:00:41]
Lookin for answers ever since I was a adolescent[00:00:44]
Faced with rejection early age stressin[00:00:46]
But now ten years later with doodoo respect[00:00:49]
I'm bustin million dollar raps and six digit checks[00:00:51]
Showin love to my peeps and my love don't change[00:00:53]
Might sound strange but I just can't run away[00:00:58]
I can't run run it might sound strange[00:01:05]
But I just can't run away[00:01:10]
I can't run no run away[00:01:15]
Touch a meal ticket shake a spot for good[00:01:18]
Never I still got love for the neighborhood[00:01:20]
And even though now it's infested with gunplay[00:01:23]
On most days like Bootsy I can't stay away[00:01:25]
Cause if I shook like y'all shook on me[00:01:28]
Then whose gon' stay and guide the way for the lil homies [00:01:30]
I can't turn my head on my folks[00:01:33]
So I stay visible in these streets and try to give hope[00:01:35]
Born in the ghetto raised in the ghetto[00:01:37]
Got love for the ghetto I can't forget the ghetto[00:01:39]
How come everytime we get some change in our can[00:01:42]
We run away and try to move out as far as we can [00:01:44]
I know that jealousy's the devil's greed but you worse[00:01:47]
Than a devil when you turn your back on these young G's[00:01:49]
Now feel every word that I say hear my cry[00:01:52]
As I struggle out of thirst and search for better days[00:01:54]
Might sound strange but I just can't run away[00:01:56]
I can't run run run away [00:02:03]
Said I just can't run away[00:02:08]
I can't run run run away[00:02:12]
No I just can't run away[00:02:18]
I can't run run runnnnnn away [00:02:23]
Another day another dollar it feels good to look around[00:02:27]
And see I'm surrounded by real riders[00:02:29]
Childhood comrades I ran with for years[00:02:30]
Shared the same beer and tears over the same peers[00:02:33]
Player haters swearin that all we all G's[00:02:35]
Off each others strength with these regulates the same cheese[00:02:37]
No jealousy we all family like Sister Sledge[00:02:40]
Lace each other with game so I can spin beer cans[00:02:42]
Watch our kids grow together as we get old together[00:02:45]
Loc I mean this let no one come in between this[00:02:47]
Keep our business among us behind doors and eyes closed[00:02:50]
On those we consider as foes[00:02:53]
Outsiders never exposed to your hustle[00:02:54]
Plus I'm never been one likely to trust em[00:02:56]
No negative association just dedication[00:02:59]
To watch our paper sprout like this bud mutation[00:03:02]
Might sound strange but I just can't run away[00:03:04]
I can't run run run away [00:03:11]
No I just can't run away[00:03:16]
I can't run I can't runnnnnnn away [00:03:21]
No I just can't run away[00:03:25]
I can't run run run run runnnnnn away[00:03:30]
