My intuition is telling me there'll be better days Yeah My intuition is telling me there'll be better days I like this tone Yeah My intuition is telling me there'll be better days I sit in silence and find whenever I meditate My fears alleviate, my tears evaporate My faith don't deviate, ideas don't have a date But see I'm growing and getting stronger with every breath Bringing me closer to heaven's doors with every step As we speak I'm at peace, no longer scared to die Most niggas don't believe in God and so they terrify It's either that or they be fearing they gon' go to hell Asking the Father for forgiveness got him overwhelmed As if he's spiteful like them white folks that control the jail See I believe if God is real he'd never judge a man Because he knows us all and therefore he would understand The ignorance to make a nigga take his brother's life The bitterness and pain that got him beating on his wife I know you desperate for a change, let the men glide But the only real change come from inside But the only real change come from inside But the only real change come from In cemeteries, unchanged, I see men cry But the only real change come from inside But the only real change come from inside But the only real change come from My chosen religion, Jesus peace, frozen from sinning Doing dirt, hoping to God he know my intentions To see a million before I see a casket I got a baby on the way, no he gon' be a *** I'm living fast like I'm in a drag race, how that cash taste? When I was a senior I was balling on my classmates Niggas put three bullets in my car, one hit the gas tank Know I got an angel cause I'm supposed to have a halo right now My lifestyle destined for a federal facility From my ability to make them birds fly Beans won't get higher than a bird's eye Viewing who am I to tell a nigga what to do I just apply, it's economics, my business ain't got the suit and tie Keep a pistol at all times, niggas want what's mine I can't oblige, dawg, I work too hard So reach for it, get referred to God, I'm going hard, nigga I know you desperate for a change, let the pen glide But the only real change come from inside But the only real change come from inside But the only real change come from The cemeteries unchanged, I see men cry But the only real change come from inside But the only real change come from inside But the only real change come from Prodigal son, got a new gun, this one don't run out of ammo Daily been working on my handles, can I ball? Become a star and remain myself If I fall, dust it off and regain myself *** them all, they don't know all the pain I felt I'm in awe, after all the fame I felt I evolve, I no longer bury demons I be a vessel for the truth until I'm barely breathing I'm singing Life is all about the evolution I give up, I give in, I move back a little I lift up, I look up, now I'm back for more You can dream but don't neglect the execution Time is short, that's what somebody told me Too short to keep following your heartbeats I give up, I give in, I move back a little I lift up, I look up, now I'm back for more I reminisce back to a time when niggas threw their hands All of a sudden, niggas poppin' trunk and then we scram Finger on trigger, make a little nigga understand What it's like to finally be the motherfuckin' man Eyes wide, that's from the power that the coward feels Niggas die off of bitches disrespectin' dollar bills Blood shed, then turn the city to a battlefield I call it poison, you call it real, that's how you feel Pistols be poppin' and niggas droppin' a heartbeat Scattered like roaches, the body laid on the concrete Body laid on the concrete Look, somebody laid on the concrete No time for that, ain't no lookin' back, cause I'm runnin' too I made it home, I woke up and turned on the mornin' news Overcame with a feelin' I can't explain Cause that was my nigga James that was slayin', he was 22 He was 22 I swear to God, I think I'm gonna kill him Tragedy, another tragedy in the black community We got to do better people 22 years old, this boy was too young Our condolences are with his family, our prayers We know he's in a better place We know he's in a better place But this has got to end, ladies and gentlemen We've got to come together, this is This is beyond words And I'd like to open this ceremony with a verse This is beyond words And I'd like to open this ceremony with a verse
