- SJ Better Dayz (feat. Jay Read) 歌詞
- SJ
- Growin up in the hood
I was a lil different
I had an image that wasnt sittin with other kids n
I consistently had to pick which position Id sit in
Cause my decisions were conflicted with thoughts of tryna fit in
Picture bein labeled the 'Smart Kid' and often
Kids talked sh*t, but they aint get
Them verbal shots hit like bricks
Sittin at home thinkin Why did God make me like this?
Feelins stuck like a pin t the skin, feelin dim
I even tried to dumb myself down
thinkin I would wear the popular crown
Missed alotta opportunities that way
Angry at the world and afraid to embrace my real face
Will I ever see better days? I often asked
Thinkin how much longer itll last
We all got demons we battle, but Ima get on that saddle
And ride it out, cause tomorrows days matter!
Homie trust itll be alright,
Dont worry bout a thang (bout a thang)
Take a gaze at the crystal skies
Cause we seein Better Days (ay, ay, ays)
Homie trust itll be alright,
Dont worry bout a thang (bout a thang)
Take a gaze at the crystal skies
Cause we seein Better Days (ay , ay, ays)
I was in the eighth grade
dudes comin in with bullet wounds
At an early age, yo I saw the damage bullets do
Outside the school, had a barrell at my chest
The fact that it jammed, then he ran
you can say that Im blessed
But on the flipside of that
you can say that I died
Not in the sense Im in a box and my momma had cried
Fast forward through the pain that I caused and the stress
I would never be the same when that barrell left my chest
Cut the whole world off
all I ever did was lash at my best friends like
'Jay, what the **** you mad bout?'
Took the math that I learned and applied to the hustle
Took the pain that I felt and applied to the muscle
Add the gun fights and time, yo my life was a mess
Writin bars on the yard to get the shit off my chest
All in all, shit I learned, God got a better plan
**** bein real nigga, Ima be a better man
Homie trust itll be alright,
Dont worry bout a thang (bout a thang)
Take a gaze at the crystal skies
Cause we seein Better Days (ay, ay, ays)
Homie trust itll be alright,
Dont worry bout a thang (bout a thang)
Take a gaze at the crystal skies
Cause we seein Better Days (ay, ay, ays)
I remember the times I got robbed, damn
The feelin of bein violated in my own home
That typa trauma does a number on a child
And It really fueled my anger, hatin my environment
I think Its foul hittin licks for the thrill of it
An innocent kid who dont know why you wanna take from him
I hated livin in this place and so I wanted out
I wanted to move into another house
In a place far away
out of reach from these theives
So I can live peacefully adn go to sleep
Itll be such a relief
Not havin t watch my back
And conceal in conversaton what I have
Even to this day
I still distrust in a major way
Cause katz is phony
and these women wanna play
With my emothions
aint no time for that
But Im on to better days I aint goin back...yeah
Homie trust itll be alright,
Dont worry bout a thang (bout a thang)
Take a gaze at the crystal skies
Cause we seein Better Days (ay, ay, ays)
Homie trust itll be alright,
Dont worry bout a thang (bout a thang)
Take a gaze at the crystal skies
Cause we seein Better Days (ay, ay, ays)
Homie trust itll be alright,
Dont worry bout a thang (bout a thang)
Take a gaze at the crystal skies
Cause we seein Better Days (ay, ay, ays)
Homie trust itll be alright,
Dont worry bout a thang (bout a thang)
Take a gaze at the crystal skies
Cause we seein Better Days (ay, ay, ays)
