A Better Life (Praying For) - Bonus Video (MV)

Praying for a better life
Better life
A better life
Police shooting killing spree
Another family down to three
Cant you see Im living free
I just cant be a better me
Im livid with this imagery
Everyone hates my pigment and me
Cant and I wont change a single thing about me bitch
Rap about a racial fight
Im singing about the mental strife
Struggling with living right
Im praying for a better life
Praying for a better life
Im praying for a better life
Praying for a better life
Im praying for a better life
Bad cop staring at me sideways
I know one way or another he gon pull up my way
But Im just praying that one day I can be okay and then the world won't end all because us human beings tend to Destroy and offend and we just pretend the coin made amends
But money wont solve everything everything
Plenty shit you cannot buy like love or friends to what end
Will yall go
Can you hear my voice my flow
Can you steer your life on your own
Will you grow
But never ever change like my name
We are all one in the same call it pain call it hurt
But you know that we deserve the same court treatment Mel got
Man there's just no doubt about it black man does a crime and does the time
And I just wanna dig inside it how the white man rapes a dime and gets away everytime
Police shooting killing spree
Another family down to three
Cant you see Im living free
I just cant be a better me
Im livid with this imagery
Everyone hates my pigment and me
Cant and I wont change a single thing about me bitch
Rap about a racial fight
Im singing about the mental strife
Struggling with living right
Im praying for a better life
Praying for a better life
Im praying for a better life
Praying for a better life
Im praying for a better life
Strife
Everywhere I look I see a fight
Breaking out on every corner like a zit
Calling 911 before its done but that was it
Heard it round the corner so I looked inside the corridor
White man shot a latino someone get the coroner
I swear I remember that day in court I was there to report what I saw
Vivid imagery piece of shit looked at me with a grin and
I swear what i thought of doing was a sin
But I was stronger than him I had the strength of my family within
After all the man that was shot was my kin my cousin shot in his own house f*ck
How could I have thought he would go now
24 years old my lord knows what im owed
Lord Im praying for a better life give this man jail for life
Evidence stacked against him
Everyone turned against him
Even his motherf*cking wife
We got him
I swear we motherf*cking got him
Theres no way he gets away if he does Im gonna take his life then take my own
But then it happened
Not guilty
My heart was empty
Another white man free to kill our rights man
Thats up f*cked up
Nah
Thats life man
Police shooting killing spree
Another family down to three
Cant you see Im living free
I just cant be a better me
Im livid with this imagery
Everyone hates my pigment and me
Cant and I wont change a single thing about me bitch
Rap about a racial fight
Im singing about the mental strife
Struggling with living right
Im praying for a better life
