T.I. - A Better Day lyrics

[Intro] It's okay Tomorrow'll be a better day When ya rent a day late and ya tryna stay straight But the only way to get it is to slang that weight Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day [Verse 1] We all came in the world with a sparkle in our eye Not knowing the only thing that we was promise is to die But a promise is a lie can't nobody guarantee it Cuz d**h around the corner can't nobody damn see it I can't agree that God good at all time But we all know sh** ain't all good at all time So I tote my strap in the hood at all time Cuz respect ain't just something that's understood in our time Especially by our kind man I hate it for the future Police don't wanna lock ya up no more they wanna shoot ya Ain't as half as bad as these hatas'll do ya As soon as ya get ya loot up, ya body they wanna shoot up Lord forbid they k** me I bet ya nobody knew what But s**as get shot and polices come straight to us Imagine how they do us ever since n***as blew up I know ya goin through it know I'm goin through it too bruh [Hook 1] When ya rent a day late and ya tryna stay straight But the only way to get it is to slang that weight Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day When ya daughter like 6 and her pops ain't sh** You don't wanna tell her you and momma gotta go strip Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day [Verse 2] I'm doin this for the hood, the kid wit no dad I was just like ya'll don't feel so bad Know it's hard when ya live so bad They whoop ya a** and they wonder why ya still so bad For long ya get whoopin's and just laugh Momma washin' clothes find lil' blue bag She ask what ya what ya doin ya tell her stuntin' like my daddy You knew that I was gonna be a hustla when ya had me Look around ma you sent me to the sto' to get some bread And I'm pa**in' at least 8 J's or mo' Ya know the rent been late for 8 days or mo' But slangin' blow a better hazard than 8 days of snow [Hook 2] When ya speeding wit the white and ya see the blue lights And ya on ya 3rd strike so the judge say life Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day If ya son 14 and just died a folk criminal Hard to realize it Baby girl but God witcha Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day [Verse 3] My momma girl son 14 just got k**ed Had to catch myself Bout to tell her I know how ya feel I'd been a damn liar See her tryin not to cry She know he in a better place But she just wanna know why Know somebody touch mine And a n***a gon' die It's goin down I did tell her to calm down I tried to convince her that he in God's arms now She said I don't believe that there's a God right now I know its hard right now and ya heart's light now But God give new beginnings you can start right now I know you're scarred right now cuz you apart right now But sh** he in better shape than we are right now [Hook 1] When ya rent a day late and ya tryna stay straight But the only way to get it is to slang that weight Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day When ya daughter like 6 and her pops ain't sh** You ain't wanna tell her you and momma gotta go strip Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day When ya speeding wit the white and ya see the blue lights And ya on ya 3rd strike so the judge say life Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day If ya son 14 and just died a folk criminal Hard to realize it Baby girl but God witcha Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day
