[Sample]
You know, I've been wondering what the hell I've been working for for all these years
Hasn't really been worth it, not really
Ah well
Here's to better days!

[Verse]
Too many times that I've questioned myself, and lost my way
To be honest, more often I'm second guessing myself
[?] so many blessings
I'm just used to recording these records
Never had no sense of direction
Question 'bout my progression, I took a couple steps forward
Then a depression took over
Got to the point where I didn't pick up the phone
I'm used to being alone
Had relationships that fell off, but I hope you niggas well off
Had to get my shit together
Every letter than I pen upon this page, sometimes all I see is pain
Man enough to say that I'm afraid to fail shit
Wonder if Pac ever felt like this, wonder if my pops ever felt like this
Growing up I was told a real man's supposed to stop that shit
I wish I could just drop that shit and move on
But I'm strong enough to admit that I ain't them
Thinking 'bout those better days and hoping more appear
I know I'm blessed, but it's hard to explain
The pressure that I feel with every breath that I take
It's a brand new day
My city shine like a Sunday morning in autumn
When the trees make way for more growth, I pray I do the same
Thoughts racing in my brain, do the best to maintain
I'm just looking for them better days
[Hook]
Looking for them better days
I've been searching for them better days
Better days, better days, better days

[Verse 2]
Hey what you looking sad for, my nigga, you black
Soon as I heard that shit, I dunno how to react
The weight of the world didn't [?] up my shoulders
But they been trying to hold us down before I was born
Trying to wipe out our culture
Skew our history to show us what they wanna show
Keep a seed out the soil it'll never grow
Justified homicide, I'm alive, [?] some days
I don't even wanna go outside
When I drive I'm looking over my shoulders
Ain't thinking 'bout getting robbed
I question if I'mma die when they pull me over
They on patrol for like they hunting us down like we prey though
Hold my ground, one day this shit'll change, that's what I pray for
Stains all over the streets from police and niggas dying over beef
That shit's a motherfucking slaughter
This shit deeper than what we see
When I die who gon' reminisce over me, my God?
It's a motherfucking shame that I feel that way
But [?] well we getting killed everyday
The world has grown numb to it only 'cause it's been that way
You hate a nigga, how you live that way?
For real, how the hell you raise your kids that way?
Wonder can the cycle end, every day
And I ain't perfect, shit, I sin everyday
Repent and pray that he forgive everyday
And show a nigga better days
[Hook]
Looking for them better days
I've been searching for them better days
Better days, better days, better days

[Voicemail Outro]
Hey baby
I was just calling to see how your day was going
I'm having a pretty frustrating day
And just wanted to hear your voice
Call me when you get a chance
I'll talk to you later
Love you
