Better Days ft. Merkules & Jeramiah Morgan Lyrics

I long for better days, I long for something more

Lately I'm feeling like I'm trapped within this prison

I long for better days, I long for something more

Lately I'm feeling like I'm trapped inside this prison

Yeah yeah

And it's holdin me down, oh it's holdin me down

Yeah yeah

And it's holdin me down, oh it's holdin me down

Yeah yeah yeah

Holdin me down, holdin me

When it's holdin me down

I try my hardest to be happy but it's hard for me

It's like this struggle with depressions in my arteries

I wonder what it's like to live in peace and harmony

To live without the feelin of thinkin people are after me

I put my game face on so it's hard to see

Then I use the drama as a weapon when I scar the beat

Still they can't believe that someone like me isn't fine

Keep my mask on for those who told me that I healed their mind

Livin life, rippin mics, this is all they see online

They couldn't picture what I'm dealing with, they're livin blind

I tell myself that it gets better and just give it time

Although it's been a minute, I admit it, I feel sick inside

So I'm sipping whiskey till I'm slippin, bout to drink n drive

Honestly be shocked if I can make it to see 55

Shifty types, made me think of leavin the city

Not a minute of sleep, with the piggies itchin to get me

And I don't know if it's a fan or foe, with their camera phone

Tryna catch Mac slippin or Snapchat my home

Having dinner with my fam, that's no time for a photo

There for my cuz, cause his dad cut his own throat

Seems I'm surrounded by death now

Feels like I'm being knocked out in the 10th round

Wow, Chris is stressed out, drowning in debt now

Downing my 10th round, down one of my best pals

I'm bout to check out, out of the last resort

Downers got me looking down, down from the highest floor

But I've assured my friends that I ain't falling down the gutter

Just lost another brother, hard to not become a nutter

Harder now to trust a lover, but I gotta have some faith

Gotta have the patience to navigate through crappy days

Satan likes to stack my plate, chaos in my passageway

Demons bout to crash the gate, seems I need a drastic change

I long for better days, I long for something more

Lately I'm feeling like I'm trapped within this prison

I long for better days, I long for something more

Lately I'm feeling like I'm trapped inside this prison

Yeah yeah

And it's holdin me down, oh it's holdin me down

Yeah yeah

And it's holdin me down, oh it's holdin me down

Yeah yeah yeah

Holdin me down, holdin me

When it's holdin me down

I've been praying for some better days

Got a lot of problems in this bottle that I'll never face

Rather play the victim, I should really give my head a shake

If you read my resume, it'll tell you I'm a mental case

Like why is it so hard to kick

I'm tryna find the cause of it, I've been at rock bottom since

I bet you like to think the problem is that obvious

I'm losing all my consciousness, don't tell me where the bottle is

Please

I can't sleep till I'm inebriated

I need to change, I can't smile cause I can't even fake it

I had a dream the other night, I start to see some changes

Then I woke up and started drinking till I feel no cravings

Just the thought of it is hot in me inside

As soon as I come close, I end up swallowing my pride

I don't show it on the surface, it's a lot for me to hide

Me and Omac seem to have a lot in common, that's my guy, it's Merk

I long for better days

I long for something more

Lately I'm feeling like I'm trapped within this prison

I long for better days

I long for something more

Lately I'm feeling like I'm trapped inside this prison

Yeah yeah

And it's holdin me down, no it's holding me down

Yeah yeah

And it's holding me down, no it's holding me down

Yeah yeah yeah

Holding me down

Holding me

When it's holding me down

When it's holding me down
