[00:00.21] Lookin' for these better days
[00:02.11] Better days hey, better days
[00:08.38] Got me thinkin' 'bout better days
[00:11.10] Better days, better days, better days
[00:16.25] Hey, better days, got me thinkin' 'bout better days
[00:21.35] Time to question our lifestyle, look how we live
[00:24.15] Smokin' weed like it ain't no thang, so even kids wanna try now
[00:28.65] They lie down and get ran through
[00:30.78] Nobody watches 'em clockin' the evil man do
[00:33.12] Faced with the demons, addicted to hearin' victims screamin
[00:35.83] Guess we was evil since birth, product of cursed semens
[00:38.23] Cause even our birthdays is cursed days
[00:40.98] A born thug in the first place, the worst ways
[00:43.93] I'd love to see the block in peace
[00:45.80] With no more dealers and crooked cops, the only way to stop the beast
[00:48.22] And only we can change
[00:51.03] It's up to us to clean up the streets, it ain't the same
[00:53.38] Too many murders, too many funerals and too many tears
[00:56.37] Just seen another brother buried plus I knew him for years
[00:59.05] Passed by his family but what could I say?
[01:01.69] Keep yo' head up and try to keep the faith and pray for better days
[01:06.23] Better days, better days, hey
[01:10.47] Better days, got me thinkin' 'bout better days
[01:14.26] Better days, better days, better days
[01:18.55] Hey, better days, got me thinkin' 'bout better days
[01:24.73] Thinkin' back as an adolescent, who would've guessed
[01:28.35] That in my future years, I'd be stressin
[01:30.24] Some say the ghetto's sick and corrupted
[01:32.10] Plus my P.O. won't let me hang with the brothers I grew up with
[01:35.16] Tryin' to keep my head up and stay strong
[01:37.57] All my homies slangin' hello all day long but they wrong
[01:40.71] So I'm solo and so broke
[01:43.28] Savin' up for some Jordan's cause they dope
[01:45.85] I got a girl and I love her but she broke too and so am I
[01:49.21] I can't take her to the place she wanna go to
[01:51.63] So we argue and play fight, all day and night
[01:54.61] Makin' passionate love 'til the daylight
[01:56.77] Plus we about to get evicted, can't pay the rent
[01:59.99] Guess it's time to see who really is yo' friend
[02:02.09] Tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed
[02:04.89] So many blessings while we stressin', lookin' for them better days
[02:08.23] Better days, better days, hey

[02:28.34] Now me and you was real cool, hell on them square fools
[02:31.70] Since back in high school, we was true, me and you
[02:34.59] Hardly parted or separated, we stayed faded
[02:37.12] Affiliated with gang bangers and still made it
[02:40.08] Up in the gym, mess with me, gotta mess with him
[02:42.46] Still dressin' like grown men when rollin'
[02:45.02] I went to dark, smokin' Newports, gamin' marks
[02:47.71] Got a place in my heart, homey stay smart
[02:50.52] Locked you up in the pen and gave you three to ten
[02:52.99] I send you letters with naked flicks of old friends
[02:55.67] Hopin' you well, I know it's hell
[02:58.15] Doin' time in the cells, you need mail, when you in jail
[03:00.74] And me I'm doin' cool
[03:02.61] I settled down, had a family, workin' in night school
[03:06.25] Every once in a while, I reminisce
