[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 (x2) [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 (x2)
