T.I. - A BETTER DAY lyrics

rate me

When ya rent a day late and ya tryna stay straight

But the only way to get it is to slang that weight

Okay

It's okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

Came in the world with a sparkle in her eye

Not knowing the only thing that we were promised is to die

But a promise is a lot can't nobody guarantee it

And death around the corner can't nobody damn see it

I can't agree that God good at all time

But we all know shit ain't all good at all time

So I tote my strap in the hood and all time

But respect ain't just something that's understood in our time

Especially by our kind man I hate it for the future

Police don't wanna lock ya up no more they wanna shoot ya

Ain't as half as bad as these hatas'll do ya

As soon as ya get ya loot up they wanna shoot off

Lord forbid to kill me I bet ya nobody knew what

Suckas get shot and police come straight to us

And that just how they do us ever since niggas blew up

I know ya goin through it know I'm goin thru it too

When ya rent a day late and ya tryna stay straight

But the only way to get it is to slang that weight

Okay

It's okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

When ya daughter like 6 and her pops ain't shit

You ain't wanna tell her he why momma gotta go strip

Okay

It's okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

I'm doin this for the hood for a kid with no dad

I was just like ya'll don't feel so bad

Know it's hard when ya live so bad

They whoop ya ass and they wonder why ya still so bad

For long ya get whoopin's and just laugh

Momma washin' clothes find a lil' blue bag

She ask what ya what ya doin ya tell her stuntin' like my daddy

You knew that I was gonna be a hustla when ya had me

Look around ma you sent me to the sto' to get some bread

And I'm passin' atleast 8 J's or mo'

You know the rent been late for 8 days or mo'

But slangin' blow a better habit than 8 days of snow

When ya speeding with the white and ya see the blue lights

And ya on ya 3rd strike so the judge say life

Okay

It's okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

If ya son 14 and just died for a criminal

hard to realize it Baby girl but God witcha

Okay

It's okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

My momma girl son 14 just got killed

*Had to kick myself

Bout to tell her I know how ya feel

I'd a been a damn liar

See her tryin not to cry

She know he in a better place

But she just wanna know why

Know if somebody took mine

Den a nigga gon' die

It's goin down

How dare i tell her to calm down

I tried to convince her that he in God's arms now

She said I don't believe that it's a God right now

I know it's hard right now and ya heart light now

But God give new beginnings you could start right now

Know you scarred right now cause you apart right now

But shit you in better shape than we are right now

When ya rent a day late and ya tryna stay straight

But the only way to get it is to slang that weight

Okay

It's okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

When ya daughter like 6 and her pops ain't shit

You ain't wanna tell her he why momma gotta go strip

Okay

It's okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

When ya speeding with the white and ya see the blue lights

And ya on ya 3rd strike so the judge say life

Okay

It's okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

If ya son 14 and just died for a criminal

hard to realize it Baby girl but God witcha

Okay

It's okay, tomorrow'll be a better day*
