[Hook] A brighter day...baby we made it To another day...baby we made it To a brighter day...baby we made it Lookin' back I've learned from that, and I won't change it [Verse 1: Mad Dukez] Now, to reflect is to really learn the conscious A look back only pauses to be honest The concept of gettin' all this accomplished Outweighin' all of the hardships that was on this God willin', tomorrow's never promised It evens out when you factor all the odds in The survivor, you can dress it up I made it through the thicket of noise, whatever names enough The acclaim growin' almost somethin' I can touch If you feelin' like I'm feelin' throw a digit up From the time feelin' like I never built enough To the rise, no ceiling that I'm hearin' of So surprised, young buck, but k**ing stuff Amateur to a machine far as comin' up Elevated, escalated call it what you want A brighter day is what I'm searching for until I'm gone [Hook] [Verse 2: Blueprint] The promise of a brighter day seems so exciting Feel it in the air when I'm on the road driving Best believe I see the metaphor that the horizon symbolizes The destination that I might arrive at It's where my life at Made up my mind I Invest in my craft and can't get that time back But who need it, when you love it so much That you dive so deep that you eat, sleep, and drink it Experimental, but I got this down to a science I don't jump around on stage, but my show's the livest At a time when music fans don't buy sh**, I'm even more popular and held on to my sh** Best job I ever had by a long stretch Perfect my craft from sun down to sunset If you hate your job you should be upset But happiness is one step away, at ya doorstep [Hook] [Verse 3: Mad Dukez] It's A cold price for the short money fights To managing of health, to where do we stay the night? We chop it up with schemers and genuine fans alike Keepin' the consistency, wreckin' it every mic Peppered up a style so lyrically add the spice Chefs clogging up the kitchen and egos are outta sight Drink specials for the artists, to ease the stress Keep a sunny disposition, he already blessed Looking back it's like a brand new sea of people per set What you see is what you get What is there to expect? With every dawn approaching plan a way to progress I'mma make it is repeated for I lay me to rest See the sun on the horizon where it reaches I press By the time you see the flyer I'm like, "Guess who's next?" Just repeat and reset Cuz the brighter days are coming We ain't seeing them yet Great things slow runnings [Hook]
