Daron Reveur - Better Days Lyrics

Tell me why you make a couple dollars
Then start braggin' 'bout it 'bout a minute later
Tell me why I make a couple dollars then
I stretch my money like it's gummy paper
Tell you how I want a decent living without
Owing several dozen people favors
How I worked all night was on an empty stomach
But I kept it going for that something greater

Greater than some dollar TV dinners On a dirty couch and watching television
Heat is off and I'm freezing now because
The winter season ain't the best for living
Heard a lot of people tell me not to rap
And thankful now that I just never listened
People said I wouldn't climb the ladder
Now I'm pushing harder on the glass ceiling

Mad feeling I'm burning up, I'm fully loaded real monster truck
I'm open carry, got bars for bullets I'm serving shots 'till y'all outta cups
Give an inch I'll take a mile, work hard today to see Mama smile
Made a promise, I swore to God that I'd make it big
And that's more than bucks

Making magic while making music
I'm sparking fires all through the night
I'm taking over, no knight or soldier's
Out striking me when I'm on the mic
Love the feeling, it's so surreal and I can't explain I just know I'm right
Feel comfort knowing right now ain't perfect
But soon enough that I'll be alright

Love is novocaine
Music numbs my pain
Life so far astray
Pray for better days

It might not be now
But it's on the way
When I don't know how
Pray for better days

If the lord can hear me tell me that my pain is over
Getting tipsy off my tears and think I need to sober
Lately feel so isolated never been a loner
But I'm thinking that I'm better off alone

If the world can hear me sorry if I'm seeming weary
I've been laying in the dark and I can't see too clearly
Now I'm singing 'bout my struggles give my music feeling
But I'm feeling like I'm too far gone

Take a second, stop and reflect and I take a look at one year ago
I'd made some beats that I never dreamed I'd be rapping to
Now I've been to shows
Dropped a song, and then dropped another
I made this music my maiden lover
I did the work for better or worse
Spent countless nights on my words and flow

Been to war and I made it back Dropped bombs on music to the tune of tracks
Lived my worst so don't ever say that I'm overworking I can't relax
Not slowing down 'till I'm living larger than
Dirty clothes in some corner packed
Till I make it out and I'm making bank
Like I'm Scrooge McDuck with his pool of stacks

Love is novocaine
Music numbs my pain
Life so far astray
Pray for better days

It might not be now
But it's on the way
When I don't know how
Pray for better days

Not always perfect in the head but know that I try to
Be everything I preach in music but it's alright to
Not always live up to the standards I sometimes write to
We don't need to fake our strength because we all cry, too

Not always perfect in the head but know that I try to
Be everything I preach in music but it's alright to
Not always live up to the standards I sometimes write to
We don't need to fake our strength

Love is novocaine
Music numbs my pain
Life so far astray
Pray for better days

It might not be now
But it's on the way
When I don't know how
Pray for better days
