gio (rapper) - better days lyrics

[verse 1]
we used to laugh in the grass
no snakes in sight
now these tears hit a patch near your grave at night
different tears full of fear as the snakes reappear quick
how can i man up if you ain’t near me now to hear it?
they say it’s god’s plan
i need a gram of inspiration
i don’t feel it in my spirit
will it come if i mention you in my lyrics?
hope is all i can lean on
cause bills wither away like thanos with all his rings on
so hope is what i cling to
the angels that i sing to have carried me all this way
the opposite of tryna live off minimum wage
if 19 was rough
i hoped 20 wasn’t the same
the last thing i’d do at 21 is drink to hеal the pain
hope is what i claim
heart is alrеady numb from the past
no need for novocain so let it rain on me
cause through the rain
i gain strength and smell change coming
it’s better when the weather change
better days coming yeah
[hook 1]
it’s better when the weather change
better days coming yeah
it’s better when the weather change

[bridge]
ooh
quicksand all in my brain
thick in, i’m tryna maintain

[verse 2]
stuck in my ways
gutted by shame
scr+pin’ and crawlin’ for breakthroughs
late on rent, car bent
my last buck spent
didn’t know how to make due
livin’ with stress
it is what it is but it ain’t what we want
so we break rules
caught in a haze
got hit with the truth and i came to
like wait
is my skin really a bother cause you can never relate?
police could pop me in the street
go home and sleep in good faith
it’s slavery up in these prisons
black women and trans die in our hands
they’re never given a chance
d+mn
so how do we proceed?
cause i ain’t invincible
i seen what happened to kobe
you’re only as good as the next step
no gin0bili
i left fear in the distance
with the old me as a witness
the new me finna fight
black fist the resistance
blacklist all the vultures
all my life, i ain’t opened up
but i been workin’ towards closure
whoever said you can’t rearrange
make change
f+ck what they told ya
better days gettin’ closer ya
man f+ck what they told ya
better days gettin’ closer
[hook 2]
uh
we ain’t as free as we wanna be
fate holds us down
keeps us underneath uh
who’s really lovin’ me for me?
we’ll see in time
i wonder when better days will pick up the phone
i’ve been callin’ tryna reclaim my comfort zone
will i rise?
can i do this alone?

can i do this alone?
can i do this?
c+can i do this?
c+can i

[verse 3]
there’s a shift up in this time sp+ce
continuously blind
but my vision is my mind’s faith
workin’ til i shine
see a smile upon my mom’s face
risen is the signs where division is our mind state
rhythmically inclined
break the schism with my melaninisms where i define great
beamin’ up, no i8
beamin’ up like willie
any given day, i might break
salary cappin’
i just hope i found the right trade
the calvary clappin’ at the horizon where the shine from the grind lay
groundwork leadin’ to minefields
that’s mind games
sound work can lead to the right feel like old griff
knock it out the park with a tight grip and closed fist
two steps ahead playin’ poker
they playin’ go fish
i really hope y’all notice the detail in my focus
casanova flows, so much love in how i approach it
10,000 hours of practice
sleep wasn’t in the quotient
guzzle in the moment like we funnel at the frat house
takin’ it back now
who else gon milk the cash cow?
who else fightin’ for freedom until the last round?
needless to say i’m walkin’ on needles
so f+ck the past and the pain that comes from the fast route
stash the pack in the rain
the smoke never lasts but it happens to cure the madness in the moment
so i hash out
potion makes me pass out
peyton manning in his prime
i get the pass out
they call me chill
i just internalize my anger
so you’ll never see me lash out
gashed out
i just put a rag on it
out in public, i got a mask now
i been coverin’ emotions
just the motions of a black child
[outro]
mmm, mmm
better days come soon
better days come soon
