Better Days

(I just pray for better days) Do you remember days when we were younger? Everything just seemed so simple We would laugh while sharing ice-cream on the bumper Now we're getting old Gotta chase after the train Clockin' on the 9 to 5 In the cold, cold rain Bro can you tell me, was this what we envisioned for our future? If I do this everyday I might finally retire But will I still be sane? What am I doin' this for? I don't even feel safe walkin' back to my house It fucks my brain I try to block the voices in my head Don't listen to what all these haters said So I stay in my lane I keep my head down Hoping for a little change... I stay thankful for these better days Praying everyday that I can see your face Remember that to build my character I have to go through pain Cus' what's the point of sun without a little rain? And no it ain't heartbreaking It makes me better day by day so I call it heart-shaping Rejection is a chisel for perfection And my armor's fully plated My heart is truly sealed so nobody can take it I've been goin' through some shit I wish that I was painless I don't trust nobody so I keep a fuckin' stainless You could get stabbed out here For walkin' on the pavements The world's going crazy I dreamt that I could save it But I ain't superman So I just focus on my payments Shoutout to my brothers on the struggle cus it's hard out here Big up to my sisters on the streets, girl I know this is your year I'm breaking out my shell I no longer wanna live in fear Trynna' rest my family I'm succeeding all my peers Countin' all my losses I am done with sheading tears Yeah ahh ahh Mhh mhh mhhh I stay thankful for these better days Praying everyday that I can see your face Remember that to build my character I have to go through pain Cus' what's the point of sun without a little rain? And no it ain't heartbreaking It makes me better day by day so I call it heart-shaping Rejection is a chisel for perfection And my armor's fully plated My heart is truly sealed so nobody can take it
