ALXCC - Better Days

(verse 1)
I remember those nights and days
To god i prayed, for better days
Now i see the what he did
To paved ways, to better days
If i told the old me, he’d would think i’m insane
I get it man, but listen to the words i’m tryna say
I never dreamed of this
But it’s what it took to get it
What’d it cost? a lot of things
But that’s just how it is
Eventually you’ll understand the reasoning behind these things
Listen, it’s not hard, just embrace it
This movement started a awakening
And it’s started to position me
To receive all these blessings
Alex trust me, when you reach the ending
What you thought was a curse
Turned out to be a blessing
I promise, this shit needed to happen

(hook)
I’ve been at this for so long
All of this is so wrong
Where did i go wrong
I can’t go back now
Naw, i’ve gotta stand strong
I’ve gotta go on
Theres better days to come
(verse 2)
I remember in high school
I’d act like i was cool
When it was just a tool
To cover my emotions
With the notion i was cool
With that fucking fake it till you make it attitude
I wished that it worked too
Cause here’s the straight truth
I was in crisis mode
I wanted to be on the road
I wanted a way from home
I’d stuck it out for so long
I didn’t know
How much more i could take before
I started to implode
With the bike below
As the engine roared i could finally ignore
The realites facing me when i was home
With all the open road, freedom soared
Letting my tears flow
The open roads opened new paths for me
To explore

(hook)
I’ve been at this for so long
All of this is so wrong
Where did i go wrong
I can’t go back now
Naw, i’ve gotta stand strong
I’ve gotta go on
Theres better days to come
(verse 3)
You see the controversy
Many have only seen
The kind side of me
Then i’m mistaken for weak
And when i get on the mic and i speak
No one quite seems
To recognize me until i tell you it is me
Where do you think i release
I can’t hold this in me
At least the fire burning within me get released as heat
I put the pen to the sheets
Then you all take your seats
Real i always keep, none of this is ever done cheap
From the deep i speak cause that is just me emerging
Splurging, working, learning, flirting, with someone called the better me
Ain’t no forging, i’m formin something y’all have never seen
Money oriented so one day i won’t need to think
I’m already struggling and day by day, the harder it gets
The larger the debts, the larger the threats
You’re gonna see what i’ve made of when i’m put under such circumstance
A rapper turned into a businessman

(hook)
I’ve been at this for so long
All of this is so wrong
Where did i go wrong
I can’t go back now
Naw, i’ve gotta stand strong
I’ve gotta go on
Theres better days to come
