Better Days Lyrics By Wc Featuring Jon B

    wc
    nineteenninetyeight
    damn i can’t believe it
    whoever thought throughout the drama we’d live to see it
    so many of us done lost lives to the streets
    as we reminisce i’m pourin’ liquor for the deceased
    think about the times that i spent with many of ’em
    hopin’ that the lord let me see the millenium
    trapped in this ghetto main seekin’ better days
    fightin’ for my conscience tryin’ to shake these wicked ways
    i know it’s wrong but it’s hard to change
    all my life all i ever knew was hustle and game
    lookin’ for answers ever since i was a adolescent
    faced with rejection early age stressin’
    but now ten years later with doodoo respect
    i’m bustin’ million dollar raps and six digit checks
    showin’ love to my peeps and my love don’t change
    here’s a toast to you fakes
    huh
    here’s to better days

    jon b
    it might sound strange
    but i
    just can’t run away
    i just can’t run
    i never can’t run run away
    it might sound strange
    but i
    just can’t run away
    i never can run away
    yeah
    yeah yeah

    wc
    touch a meal ticket shake a spot for good
    never
    i still got love for the neighborhood
    and even though now it’s infested with gunplay
    on most days like bootsy i can’t stay away
    cause if i shook like y’all shook on me
    then whose gon’ stay and guide the way for the lil’ homies
    i can’t turn my head on my folks
    so i stay visible in these streets and try to give hope
    born in the ghetto
    raised in the ghetto
    got love for the ghetto
    i can’t forget the ghetto
    how come everytime we get some change in our can
    we run away and try to move out as far as we can
    i know that jealousy’s the devil’s greed but you worse
    than a devil when you turn your back on these young g’s
    now feel every word that i say
    hear my cry
    as i struggle out of thirst and search for better days

    repeat

    jon b
    it might sound strange
    but i
    just can’t run away
    i just can’t run
    i never can’t run run away
    it might sound strange

    wc
    another day another dollar
    it feels good
    to look around and see i’m surrounded by real riders
    childhood comrades i ran with for years
    shared the same beer and tears over the same peers
    player haters swearin’ that all we all g’s
    off each others strength with these
    regulates the same cheese
    no jealousy we all family like sister sledge
    lace each other with game
    so i can spin beer cans
    watch our kids grow together
    as we get old together
    loc i mean this let no one come in between this
    keep our business among us behind doors
    and eyes closed on those we consider as foes
    outsiders never exposed to your hustle
    plus i’m
    never been one likely to trust ’em
    no negative association just dedication
    to watch our paper sprout like this bud mutation

    repeat

    jon b wc in background
    i can’t i don’t wanna run i can’t run
    i never can’t run i wanna sleep right here i can’t run
    i can’t i don’t wanna run i can’t run
    i never can’t run i wanna stay right here jon b
    i can’t i don’t wanna run wc
    i never can’t run wanna live the good life johnny j
    i can’t i don’t wanna run
    i never can’t run don’t wanna run
    i can’t killin’ in the streets
    i never can’t run the streets made me
    i can’t hoorider stay true to the streets
    i never can’t run
    i can’t money can’t buy that
    i never can’t run i never can’t run
    i can’t
    i never can’t run no
    i can’t
    i never can’t run no no i can’t run
    i can’t
    i never can’t run
    i never can’t run
