Better Times Lyrics

Ya, praying for them better times

Praying for them better times

This world is in need of them better times

Ya man

There's nothing left for me, my life or feelings that I've felt

Times are getting more harder, I'm going through it by myself

Praying for better times for our lives and the earth

Drama's growing, hate is showing through crime that's getting worse

I'm sick of life, this world and the people living in it

Drowning in the misery after swimming in it

I admit it drove me close to the end of my existence

By adding more suspicions to my mental condition

See, people these days love to settle the beef

By loading up to shoot niggas and leave 'em dead in the street

From jealousy of what they hoped for, but never received

And so they steal it from a person that's tryna succeed

Too many enemies and unknown haters to detect

They say "it's more to life than chasing paper for a check"

But that was my only mindset that I had, growing up

Cause when it came to surviving, cash to me was enough

Better times, praying for them better times

But nothing's changing, so I guess it's never mind

I really can't stand living in this world of crime

Feels like the crime is here for a lifetime

If nothing's here for us, I guess we gotta go

If we're the bad seeds, I guess we'll never grow

We all lose control in this life at times

But we still gotta pray for them better times, better times, better times

There's not a spark for us to make a change

Cause everything is staying the same

So many people are dying at such a young age

It's like we're born here to quickly die into the grave

It's like we're born here to be a slave and it's crazy

How everybody's lives are controlled by the system

Instead of hearing negativity, we need the words of the wisdom

But knowing people, they don't wanna listen

Their only mission is hanging on the block

Slanging dope with a Glock in their hands, in position

To rob any soul that is working for a living

Just to end up servicing time for years in the prison

Even that neighborhood watcher on the block

Could get beaten to a pulp or get shot by the cops, pop

No one is safe in this world of crime

It's up to us to take a stand and pray for better times

Better times, praying for them better times

But nothing's changing, so I guess it's never mind

I really can't stand living in this world of crime

Feels like the crime is here for a lifetime

If nothing's here for us, I guess we gotta go

If we're the bad seeds, I guess we'll never grow

We all lose control in this life at times

But we still gotta pray for them better times, better times, better times

Living's feeling like a war that we're struggling in

What are we living for?

Life is harder to the core, everything is expensive

But dying is cheap, easy, and inexpensive

Expenses are taking everything that we've earned, yeah

Death is taking turns putting flesh in urns

I'm at a point of no return in my suicidal mind

Suffering to survive, until I die trying

Authorities in the office raising what we can't afford

Forcing rates of being poor to increase up on the score board

It's only the beginning cause the government has more in store

Tricking our minds like "do you wanna hop on board?", sure

Then we end up trapped in society's debt

And our opinions won't matter, no matter what we suggest

What's left is for us to get together and find

A way to fight against the system and keep praying for them

Better times, praying for them better times

But nothing's changing, so I guess it's never mind

I really can't stand living in this world of crime

Feels like the crime is here for a lifetime

If nothing's here for us, I guess we gotta go

If we're the bad seeds, I guess we'll never grow

We all lose control in this life at times

But we still gotta pray for them better times, better times, better times
