Lookin for these better days
  Better days, heyyy! Better days
  Got me thinkin bout better days
  Better days! Better days, better days
  Heyyy! Better days
  Got me thinkin bout better days
    [Verse One]
  Time to question our lifestyle, look how we live
  Smokin weed like it ain't no thang, so even kids
  wanna try now, they lie down and get ran through
  Nobody watched 'em clockin the evil man do
  Faced with the demons, addicted to hearin victims screamin
  Guess we was evil since birth, product of cursed semens
  Cause even our birthdays is cursed days
  A born thug in the first place, the worst ways
  I'd love to see the block in peace
  With no more dealers and crooked cops, the only way to stop the beast
  And only we can change
  It's up to us to clean up the streets, it ain't the same
  Too many murders, too many funerals and too many tears
  Just seen another brother buried plus I knew him for years
  Passed by his family, but what could I say?
  Keep yo' head up and try to keep the faith
  And pray for better days
    Better days, better days, heyyy!
  Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days
  Better days, better days, better days
  Heyyy! Better days
  Got me thinkin bout better days
    [Verse Two]
  Thinkin back as an adolescent, who would've guessed
  that in my future years, I'd be stressin
  Some say the ghetto's sick and corrupted
  Plus my P.O. won't let me hang with the brothers I grew up with
  Tryin to keep my head up and stay strong
  All my homies slangin llello all day long, but they wrong
  So I'm solo and so broke
  Savin up for some Jordan's, cause they dope
  I got a girl and I love her but she broke too, and so am I
  I can't take her to the place she wanna go to
  So we argue and play fight, all day and night
  Makin passionate love 'til the daylight
  Plus we about to get evicted, can't pay the rent
  Guess it's time to see who really is yo' friend
  Tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed
  So many blessings while we stressin
  Lookin for them better days
    For better days, better days, better days, heyyy!
  Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days
  Better days, better days, better days
  Heyyy! Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days
    [Verse Three]
  Now me and you was real cool, hell on them square fools
  Since back in high school, we was true, me and you
  Hardly parted or seperated, we stayed faded
  Affiliated with gangbangers and still made it
  Up in the gym, mess with me, gotta mess with him
  Still dressin like grown men when rollin
  I went to dark, smokin Newports, gamin marks
  Got a place in my heart, homey stay smart
  Locked you up in the pen, and gave you three to ten
  I send you letters with naked flicks of old friends
  Hopin you well, I know it's hell
  Doin time in the cells, you need mail, when you in jail
  And me I'm doin cool
  I settled down, had a family, workin in night school
  Every once in a while, I reminisce
  And wonder how we ever came to this
  I miss the better days
    Better days, better days, heyyy!
  Better days.. I'm thinkin bout better days
  Better days, better days, better days
  Heyyy! Better days.. got me thinkin bout better days
    I send this one out, to all the homeboys down in uh, Clinton lockdown
  Rikers Island, all them dudes I was uh locked up with, hehe
  E Block, F Block, lower H
  N-I-C in Rikers Island, downstate
  All the peoples I met along the way
  Better days is comin homeboy, keep your head up
    Better days, better days, better days
  Heyyy! Better days.. uhh, lookin for the better days
  Better days, better days, lookin for the better days
  Heyyy! Hahaha..
