Better Days
D.T.C Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you love when it's complicated
There goin' be some better days
I promise there'll be better days
I know you're going through this pain right now
There goin' be some better days
I promise there'll be better days
My head down
Shoulders heavy from this pain and the thoughts that I carry
Lord kill em off
Demons talking in the shadows in my room
It sounds scary
But sometimes I listen
I don't know why
Can't face the man in the mirror right now
When I put it on, gotta turn the lights down
They been looking at me
Like
Why y'all looking at me
Walking out the crib hoping I don't get gunned down
The neighborhood I live is kinda run down
But I'm looking happy
Make sure I'm looking happy
I know you love when it's complicated
There goin' be some better days
I promise there'll be better days
I know you're going through this pain right now
There goin' be some better days
I promise there'll be better days
When I walked in that room, it was so loud
Tears on your face, you had your phone out
Momma why you crying
Momma
Momma put the phone down
Momma we going make it
Even if we do not know how
Bills due
It's like every first of every month they try to kill you
But we goin' keep the faith cause that'll heal too
I'm trynna get a million but I need a meal, too
Overly nauseous
Every time I lose someone close to me, that's how I get
My mind blanks out, a blank canvas for how I feel
What if they love me but the whole time it was not real
Pain in my eyes, I can send the spark from the glock still
I pictured better days had to stop cause I got chills
Came far my greatest joys used to be hot wheels
That perspective is why I feel the way I feel
We only know what we only know
So we know there goin' be some better days
We only know what we only know
So I promise you them better days
I know you love when it's complicated
There goin' be some better days
I promise there'll be better days
I know you're going through this pain right now
There goin' be some better days
I promise there'll be better days
Better days always around us
Even in the rain rays surround us




Started as a seed they clowned us
Then God sent the rain and I made it from the ground up
