[Hook: Prince Malik]
I just wanna see a better day
To make it out in a better way
A close friend dies everyday
Let us pray that we all get to see our better days
[Verse 1: Luie Tatz]
Remember on the block when I was broke and bummy
Working for the older homies, making small time money
I used to try to holla at you but you'd act all funny
Said you needed you a homie with a stack of money
You was only fifteen but you did have plenty
Used to lie to my G's and tell 'em that you were twenty
I didn't wanna hate the game so I remained with the truth
He'd be mad if they knew that I was f**ing on you
I heard you went back to school and you graduated
A lot of motherf**ers thought you would never make
And your kid looking up to you, believe that
And all the positive you do, they see that
You said you found a male friend and you really like him
Said you found a happy home and I ain't mad at that
But don't forget about the homies where you came from
Some still got love and I am the main one
[Hook: Prince Malik]
I just wanna see a better day
To make it out in a better way
A close friend dies everyday
Let us pray that we all get to see our better days

[Verse 2: Milly Dre]
Looking for better days, I'm looking for better ways
To make it outta here and live in a better place
Babe, I ain't gon' live in the hood forever
Hustling everyday, don't we deserve better?
They see's me as a rapper, they see's me as a G
But when the f** are they gonna see me as a human being?
I made a change but the hood remained the same
Throw rocks at the blue-white van, they got the blame
So who the f** are you to start judging me, fool?
When you don't know what the f** I've been through?
Roll a doobie up, I don't know what you've heard
I sag my pants, take a hit and scream "f** the whole world"
As I go to sleep I think about all the sh** I've been through
[Hook: Prince Malik]
I just wanna see a better day
To make it out in a better way
A close friend dies everyday
Let us pray that we all get to see our better days
