Better Days by King Trill
[Verse 1: King Trill]
Don't compare me to no rapper dead or still living/
Feel like my gift is Satan's curse but It's God given/
Hard living made it hard for me to dodge prison/
But I'm just trying to see my future pray that God willing/
The new face of Hip Hop this is God's vision/
I spit knowledge when I speak call it true religion/
Flow tighter than rappers in skinny jeans/
Lyrics will unthread your mind let me loosen up your seams/
Seen poverty turn drug dealers to crack fiends/
While Hip Hop destroyed the lives of our Black teens/
Re-enacting what they see in movie scenes/
Got them thinking they're all slaves
Don't understand they're Kings and Queens/
But I just want to see my people grow/
They're still starving in the hood I'm trying to feed them hope/
While these streets trying to feed them dope/
I'm trying to educate the youth on what they need to know/
[Hook 1: Song by LaTiffany Ivory]
I'm still praying for a better day/
There's got to be a better way/
I'm just trying to keep my faith/
(lord)
Protect me from these devils/
(repeat hook)
I'm still praying for a better day/
There's got to be a better way/
I'm just trying to keep my faith/
Protect me from these devils/
[Verse II: King Trill]
F*ck Hip Hop this is the rebirth of Black Power/
We want everything they got lets make Black ours/
The time is now call it the black hour/
Water our seeds with knowledge call it the black shower/
They told me I wouldn't make it but I'm still here/
Future kind of blurry but it's still clear/
Voice of the youth the one they still fear/
Everything I spit is real this how we still live/
Success didn't add nothing but more stress/
More money, more problems, more complex/
New deals, new faces just new checks/
I bought a housing complex moved out the projects/
I'm just trying to progress/
Money ambitions got my people living heartless/
And we still living jobless/
Ain't sh** changed they still treat us like we are garbage/
Hook II: LaTiffany Ivory
[Outro: King Trill]
And we gone rise up even when the sun fall/
Protected by the truth f_ck laws/
A renegade that means I'm still riding for the cause/
Political prisoners Outlaws/
