Intro: oooohhhh......uuhhhhhhhhmmm!!!!

Hook:

Yeah i know your fed up, fed up with the phonies

You can never settle, gotta the bread up

Momma keep ya head up, living in the ghetto

Things is gon get better, just watch it when i tell ya

Yeah i know ya fed up, fed up

But things is gon get better, i tell ya

Baby just keep ya head up, ya head up

You are not a failure

Things is gon better, things is gon get better

Verse 1:

Rent due, light bills too

Got four kids that's up in one room

No new ni**a she ain’t even got room

Can't you tell her what is yo use

She barely gotta a roof

Shit they finna put her out

Kids clothes outgrew

And they sleeping on the couch

Running in and out

Now the time running out

And she really got doubts

She just looking at the clouds

Can't feed into negativity

But her son is up in captivity

She just prays for the simple things

Asking why lord you won’t answer me

Then he spoke to her in her sleep

Say i know what's meant and what's not to be

All you gotta do is just wait for me

All you gotta do is have faith for me

Verse 2:

Its gon get better

I showed my effort

They didn't wanna see me shine

Don't wanna see me do better

On another level

Always wanted extra

Told me i was special

I'm a real go-getter

And momma never raised a quitter

I done been thru all the fire

Rain and highs and lows

I done been thru all the crying

And pain i took my blows

I done slept inside of cars

Ain't had nowhere to go

I was just looking for love a very lost soul

Then one day this sh*t just click

Could nobody tell me sh*t

This my mistake im a fix

That's my cake and I’m a get

Had to work so hard for it

Could nobody offer it

No matter what start you get

Just as long as you finish
