Brighter Day's Lyrics

We all out here just searchin' for brighter days

Everybody goin' through hard times, it's a struggle all over

Only the strong survive, though. Remember that. Come on

As I look back over my life

I see a lot of things that didn't turn out right

So now I have to make up my mind

That I'ma leave all my past behind

I get down on my knees to pray

Lord want you lead me to brighter days

I know you can show me there's a better way

Than hustlin' in these streets all night and day

As I look back over my life

I see a lot of things that didn't turn out right

So now I have to make up my mind

That I'ma leave all my past behind

I get down on my knees to pray

Lord want you lead me to brighter days

I know you can show me there's a better way

Than hustlin' in these streets all night and day

I remember as a adolescent learnin' lessons from older thugs

They taught me how to take an ounce and break it down to nuthn but dubs

They showed me how to use the clock when on the block to stash my drugs

They had me bussin' heaters before I knew what a Nina was

Then as a youngster the hustle hunger became stronger

Met my connect to cocaine and crack no more marijuana

Now a teenager rockin' pagers is my new persona

A loyal team of customers, TT, Ike, and Tawana

As I look back over my life

I see a lot of things that didn't turn out right

So now I have to make up my mind

That I'ma leave all my past behind

I get down on my knees to pray

Lord want you lead me to brighter days

I know you can show me there's a better way

Than hustlin' in these streets all night and day

As I look back over my life

I see a lot of things that didn't turn out right

So now I have to make up my mind

That I'ma leave all my past behind

I get down on my knees to pray

Lord want you lead me to brighter days

I know you can show me there's a better way

Than hustlin' in these streets all night and day

Now as my mind got older

My hustle game grew bolder

My closest friends turned colder

And I was hardly sober

Livin' la vida loca

But it's just mucho loco

Still pushin' grande coca

And havin' to hide from the popo

Give it all up was a no-no

In my 79 Cadillac four door

Don't never drive fast, so I go slow

Where does the road end? I don't know

So I just keep goin' till I can't go

Feelin' sleepy, so I roll down the window

So drunk that I can't feel the wind blow

Thinkin' life is a game like Nintendo

In a bad situation

No this game is for real

I lost control of my lac and crashed it up in a field

With minor bumps and bruises

See I was barely scarred

That's when I come to the conclusion it was no one but God

So I promise to praise Him

And His grace is amazing

So everyday I thank Him

For this sinner he's savin

And this new road He pavin

Freed me from mental enslavin

This my reincarnation

In Jesus' name, amen

As I look back over my life

I see a lot of things that didn't turn out right

So now I have to make up my mind

That I'ma leave all my past behind

I get down on my knees to pray

Lord, want You lead me to brighter days

I know You can show me there's a better way

Than hustlin' in these streets all night and day
