Better Days feat. Johnta Austin

歌詞

I done seen some better days before Feelin' like forever was a long time ago Balancin' high and the lows Get your blindfold, only God knows I done seen some better days before Feelin' like forever was a long time ago Balancin' high and the lows Get your blindfold, only God knows Look, Twin, don't forget the better days, we been friends since ten Back then we told people we cousins, kin The buses from my school couldn't come to where I lived So my mama used to drop me at your crib, like four, maybe five A.M. I ain't get no good sleep till I was twenty-seven I used to wear my big bro clothes, you used to let me borrow some of yo' clothes I thought that I looked funny in 'em It's only you and **** yo' parents use to treat me like they third son I'm the first one buckin' on any person tryna make you feel hurt or somethin' You my brother, I'd murder somethin' for you Throw that dirty gun into the Chatahoochie You Louis, I'll be Gucci We was Webbie and Boosie with the low fade Brush my hair for days, still ain't have no waves Now we talkin' through a window while you in a cage I'ma come get you when you figure out your day I was in and out the states, you was rappin' on a rage Had Atlanta goin' crazy, I was packin' out the stage in different places You hit me, said, "Cassandra had your baby" The day that Kobe died, I'm at the Grammys in LA Pray Allah can show you grace and the law stay out the way But when you caught that other case, I ain't know what yo' ass was thinkin' My mama said to say, "You ain't too old to get a spankin'" Still one of her children, but she feel like you need to be thankful you still here I done seen some better days before Feelin' like forever was a long time ago Balancin' high and the lows Get your blindfold, only God knows I done seen some better days before Feelin' like forever was a long time ago Balancin' high and the lows Get your blindfold, only God knows Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Life gets too real, may kill you Like skills you build make you choose Between old ties and new ways Make friends with real snakes, false norms and true values Don't mute it, see through it, when we do it Take a moment to breath and achieve through it Stay free through it, 'cause your vision makes me slave to our plans for better days Uh, look, check, to make it to forever took a very long time I took every wrong turn, packin' long lines just for rappin' long words Fuck a net worth, I made a million off of merch' Pay the bills first and then invest against Versus Regret shit, the lessons, the blessings, the journey Agitate the white guilt, explain the black burden The stresses, the interest, the exit, the purpose Prayin' that we see some better days between worse ones Nothing's ever perfect, but I made so my mom's ain't workin' Off of murkin' instrumentals and it's no coincidence when I was little, I was very sensitive Never was talkative, nigga, don't even try and tickle him Me and my brothers and sis' and them slept in the same room, suffered the same afflictions See the reflection of a nigga that never liked attention Or need acceptance from strangers comin' in mentions I got protection, PaPa had the right prediction Said I was destined to be whatever I envisioned The manifested blessin' that I made it out the club at twenty-seven No weapon was formed against me, I formed against the weapon Tried to stretch him, but niggas sprintin' If we don't catch him, then God'll get him then We ain't gotta get in the karma of bein' killer man But you did in our better days, now I miss my friend I done seen some better days before Feelin' like forever was a long time ago I done seen some better days before Feelin' like forever was a long time ago
