[Intro: Nani Layilaa]
I know there's gotta be some better ways
I know there's gotta be a better way
[Verse 1: Jehry Robinson]
Okay, I don't need all these followers, not 'bout to get Hollywood
Moved out from New York to KCMO to keep my family good
Staring at these Xany's in this bottle like I probably should just take one and just drift away
But either way they gon' have sh*t to say
They like to pin us on each other using different races
All I see is humans and we're all amazing
All I see is humans and we're all amazing
I don't see colors, I only brothers and sisters and people I lovе
I know it gets deeper, but I'm not a preachеr, I promise to keep it a buck
Yeah I tend to say what I want so the internet eating it up but
I could get cancelled for taking a stance, especially one filled with love
I am not passive, if I was an a**hole, I'm willing to say that I was
Like sorry I laughed, I was buzzed, but I never think I'm enough and
Even though I'm getting accolades lately I feel like it's not adding up
I still got my headphones alone on the bus, turn it up louder to drown out the buzz
Yeah, I never went out to hunt just knew how to get me a buck
Yeah, admit that I hustled some drugs, but that never was who I was
Still don't really know who I am, but nobody holding my hand
Like I got the weight of the world on my shoulders, I showed up and told 'em I'm in
[Chorus: Jehry Robinson]
Woke up drunk and I'm still in debt
I roll another blunt just to clear my head
You gotta know it gets better than this
Sometimes you gotta know it gets better and better
I woke up drunk and I'm still in debt
I roll another blunt just to clear my head
You gotta know it gets better than this
Sometimes you gotta know it gets better and better I promise
[Verse 2: Jehry Robinson]
Okay, why am I always late? My whole team in KC
Dropped a couple hundred on a number 33
As that ball keeps spinning, I keep thinking 'bout my life
Although we all keep winning, that don't mean we living right
So throw up your hands and fight, there ain't no two men alike
That don't mean that we're not equal, that just mean that we're uniquely individual
So before you put your kids in school and make 'em start competing
Remember all the reasons Steven Jobs was such a leader
Try'na make my music reach the Mark Zuckerberg's of the world
Elon Musk's, need more substance, sll these cities need more busses
All these courtrooms need more Justices, all these issues need discussions
This is simple, we're just stubborn, it's a problem, wish it wasn't
All these programs need more budgets, all these homeless need more shelters
I'm just try'na go get rich and build 'em, so they call me selfish
Please don't misconstrued what wealth is
Just try to understand that it's the Devil, but the only way to help it
[Chorus: Jehry Robinson]
Woke up drunk and I'm still in debt
I roll another blunt just to clear my head
You gotta know it gets better than this
Sometimes you gotta know it gets better and better
I woke up drunk and I'm still in debt
I roll another blunt just to clear my head
You gotta know it gets better than this
Sometimes you gotta know it gets better and better I promise
[Verse 3: Nani Layilaa]
Instead of fronting like you so perfect
Take a look into those thousand dollar kicks and really do some soul searching
Blood, sweat, tears, work until my bones hurting
I do what work for me, no one finish 'til my
Riddle me this, the people and sh*t the women I'm missing
Kids are occupied by Toking, Tiking
Why is you praising the Bible [?]
Down in the water and take a swim
It is as bad as we're making it
Too busy taking to breaking the cycle
Repeating that we aren't okay with it
[Outro: Nani Layilaa]
I know there's gotta be some better ways
I know there's gotta be a better way
