Better My Life

(专辑： The Gift And The Curse - 2013)

[Intro]
Yeah, you know, sometimes life is harsh man, you know, it's how you look at it.

[Hook]
I'm counting down the days, working over night
Tryin to find ways to better my life
And I know that this road keeps turning
And I don't know which way to go

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of being broke, I've said it once, I'll say it again
Dont' you hate when your low on cash so low that you cannot pay your rent?
Cuz I do, I hate that, you see me driving a maybach?
I don't think so cuz I'm stuck driving this grey cab

[Hook x2]
I'm counting down the days, working over night
Tryin to find ways to better my life
And I know that this road keeps turning
And I don't know which way to go

[Verse 2]
Man I'm sick of this, the pain I feel is ridiculous
Envision this, little boy that never fit in, showed no interest
Down with his face in a notebook, trying to write rhymes like yo look
I think this is it I love her, pictures on his wall all over
Of rappers he looks up to, he went from hi to fuck you
His mood changed, became strange rap made him nuts, so insane
I think I should try this, he says to himself
I really like this, maybe I can make this dream of mine if I focus my iris
But wait a minute, here's what they call an obstacle
My voice sounds too much like uh yeah, they must of seperated at the hospital
It's a gift and a curse, thats what I call it, dammit it hurts now an alcoholic
And every verse I'm thinkin what woulda happen if I was put on first

[Hook x2]
I'm counting down the days, working over night
Tryin to find ways to better my life
And I know that this road keeps turning
And I don't know which way to go

[Verse 3]
I've been through shit, I've been through hell
So many tears I've shed for myself
I've had the good, I've had the bad, more bad then good, I hate the fact
But dammit, I stuck to rap cuz man it
Help me get back, up from the granite
Jump in the air with a pump in my shoes and I fell down standing!
That's what I call a winner, a champion at heart
You fall you get back up and fight and show them who you are
Come on Dennis, get up! I know you're fucking fed up
Come on don't you let up, it's only a matter of time before things get better
Maybe you're right so I'll hold it down
When I hold this mic I'm homeward bound
I gotta show my best when I throw it down
There's no demon out here that can hold me down
I've seen cash I've been poor, I've been high, I've been low
The greatest things I've seen go, so cherish what you have and keep it close
Don't you cry it'll be alright, wipe them tears look at the sky
You see the stars? Thats what you are just look inside you
Just gotta find it, it's there behind that dark cloud you've built inside you
Just clear it and show the world, don't hide it!

[Hook x2]
I'm counting down the days, working over night
Tryin to find ways to better my life
And I know that this road keeps turning
And I don't know which way to go
