Better Days for My Babies Lyrics

Ghetto sunrise shadows long world in decay

Grinding heavy pockets empty bills never delay

Struggle in the streets footprints where hope decay

Wanna see my kids rise diamonds in the clay

Mama's tears broken dreams whispers in the night

Sweat and pain every day soldier through that blight

Rough patches lost matches fight with all my might

Paper chasin' foot bracin' seekin' that light

Better days for my babies dreams won't forsake

Chain free from struggle no more hearts to break

Hustlin' for their futures no more roads to fake

Shooting for the stars building worlds they'll make

Streetlights glimmer shattered mirrors past we won't dwell

Vision clearer fightin' terrors breakin' from this hell

Hope unshaken dreams awaken stories they'll tell

Stride widener heights higher in peace they'll dwell

Concrete jungle cagey hustle steppin' through the grime

Singing lullabies of gambles waiting for they time

Books and knowledge no street college no penny for a dime

Chasin' freedom breakin' ceilings rhythm for our rhyme

Better days for my babies dreams won't forsake

Chain free from struggle no more hearts to break

Hustlin' for their futures no more roads to fake

Shooting for the stars building worlds they'll make
