Текст песни Better World - KnowMads

I never knew that life would be this way
For all my peoples in the struggle who got bills to pay
I herd another young kid done got killed today
And I cant understand a reason God I fell your pain
While we sinning and we blamin on the times we live
We shouldn't have to work this hard just to be positive
I don't wanna hear you tell me thats the way it is
Cause dont we all know the world should be better than this

Aye yo it's more than just a story that you watch on the news,
Cuz if you think there aint a problem then im talking to you
Like just the other day another kid got shot for his shoes
They gettin picked up from prison as they dropping from schools
Why they give us lack of options tax dollas for troops
Then got the nerve to turn around and ask whats wrong with the youth
Most of y'all stuck in the middle tryin to offer a truce
Watch as they put up they hands still the officer shoots
Im done fighting these laws, done dealing with cops
I aint done doin dirt, I'm just done gettin caught
Couldn't do it for myself but I could do it for pops
Its twice as hard to ask for help when you could use it a lot
But im so glad I listened when he said we needed to talk
just a week after that my boy J-weezy got locked
And now he's lookin at 10 but get out who knows when
so until that day imma sing it again and again

I never knew that life would be this way
For all my peoples in the struggle who got bills to pay
I herd another young kid done got killed today
And I cant understand a reason God I fell your pain
While we sinning then we blame on the times we live
We shouldn't have to work this hard just to be positive
I don't wanna hear you tell me thats the way it is
Cause dont we all know the world should be better than this

Somebody tell me what's the meaning of life
When people sleepin on the streets, God this shit isnt right
You at the strip club throwin dollas makin it rain
Right off of Skid row kids be puttin H in they veins
I got some friends who chasin money, do the corporate thang
But sort of lost the value to me cause they morals have changed
We on our cell phones scrolling for the fortune and fame
Feels like the best that we can hope for is more of the same
Plus the way they use religion God it hurts my soul
To shame a woman for abortion or her birth control
When she cant afford a mortgage or put food in the stove
and the housing scandal went and dug us deep in a hole
Now, bury the truth beneath a pile of money
Another cop on paid-leave with-out a trial or nothin
Blame the victim time to change the system
I keep on praying for the day the world will finally listen,

Come on, I never knew that life would be this way
For all my peoples in the struggle who got bills to pay
I herd another young kid done got killed today
And I cant understand a reason God I fell your pain
While we sinning then we blame on the times we live
We shouldn't have to work this hard just to be positive
I don't wanna hear you tell me thats the way it is
Cause dont we all know the world should be better than this

I wonder if the sun shines feel the rain
I wonder if the government feel ashamed
We gone sing until we see things change
Cause we don't believe it got to be this way
I wonder if the sun shines feel the rain
I wonder if the government feel ashamed
We gone sing until we see things change
Cause we don't believe it got to be this way
