The other night, I was watching snapped on TV it was repeat but i was kneedeep
in a storyline thinking that this could be me my foot up in that same shoe,
what do you do to cope with the fact that not many of your dreams ever came
true.
You try to look beyond the surface, you hope and pray that God kept you from
the frontline and the limelight for a greater purpose.
Morbid scars man and blinded from far, am I the only one that sees how sick
minded we are?
They say forgive and forget is the way we should live, but I’ve been burned so
many times I’ve forgot how to forgive.
What you think is cool ain’t cool homie, start living wise come out of your
trance pull up your pants look civilized.
We identify with dirt, we can’t even spell hope, our condition is why these
youngsters prostitute and sell dope.
but through it all i’m still down with’em I’ll never impeach’em,
and everytime I get a chance to chop it up with’em I teach’em.
Things gotta get betta
we struggle everyday
to find a solution
and make a better way.
Things gotta bet betta
we struggle every day
to find a solution
and make a better way.
This past year I’ve learned that most people’s love for you only stems (from
what) from you being a shoulder
and what you can do for them.
But when the doing’s done and there’s no more to give the friendship’s through
trying your best not to deny them you end up denying you.
So what must I do to rid myself of those who are untrue,
one’s who seek only for self and when exposed start acting new.
While I was helping you my own problems multiplied and grew.
Who can the counselor speak to when he needs to be counseled to?
So i speak to God and vent out my frustrations and my rages and he answers me
directly through the scriptures and his pages.
and i argue with myself while guilt and pain funnel through me, and I’m trying
to break the trend of hurting people closest to me.
I ain’t trying to please the world yeah I wouldn’t mind being rich,
but I ain’t laughin' when it ain’t funny or scratchin' when it don’t itch.
Wise words from a wise man and I never forgot, I’d rather be hated for who I am
than loved for who I’m not.
Things gotta get betta
we struggle everyday
to find a solution
and make a better way.
Things gotta bet betta
we struggle every day
to find a solution
and make a better way.
Lord can I talk to you for a minute I’m kinda trippin', i know i’ve been outta
line lately fallin' off and slippin' but um …
I wanna thank you God for helpin' me through it all i know i’ll slip again but
i pray that you’ll never let me fall.
Please forgive me for acts I’ve carried out places, I’ve been, or having the
nerve to ask for a blessing five minutes after I sin.
Please guide me to obedience, cause I know that you demand that, I’m blessed,
a normal life could be worse and I understand that, but it’s like I’m still
strugglin' and i’m gettin' bitter and hateful.
And when people sufferin', me asking for things seems ungrateful.
I just wanna feed my family, barely getting by is unnerving.
And only you know the real me and we both know I’m undeservin'.
When you start itching with flames help me get out of that range,
remove the urge for me to go left and push my heart to change.
And when I’m face to face with temptation help me to be strong and please don’t
let me stop doin' right cause others are doin' wrong.
Things gotta get betta
we struggle everyday
to find a solution
and make a better way.
Things gotta bet betta
we struggle every day
to find a solution
and make a better way.
