J. Cole - It Only Gets Better lyrics

Hands in the air (4X) (Hook: Marsha Ambrosius) Lord knows I had it hard today Had it hard today Still I gotta keep my head up high along the way Cause it only gets better, better It only gets better from here It only gets better, better It only gets better from here (Bridge 1:Talib Kweli) Every day I gotta wake up early Let it break, thank the Lord at the take Get the troops, hit the booth, spit at you, spit it great Practicing my gratitude, life is so beautiful Working on that attitude, just because (Hook: Marsha Ambrosius) It only gets better, better It only gets better from here It only gets better, better It only gets better from here (Verse 1: Talib Kweli) Every day I gotta Trust in God and hustle hard My grind is real, my hustle dope I'm finding meals, I'm signing deals I'm the Gladiator like Russell Crowe Yeah, you know it's real, but I'm focused still Why you focus shake it like gold field Cause you're not in tune, no, you're not immune No Echinacea, no golden seal So you sick inside, gotta flush it down When you talk to folks, cover your mouth Ain't nobody gonna cover that shifts So you go to work, you tuff it down You bust it out till you're out for work I know your boss a jerk, you're gonna cuss a mouth Hit it with a bus driver upper-cut That clock only thing you punchin' out I relate to you, you gotta pay your dues When the time is right you gotta make a move Your job is what you get paid to do Your call is what you're made to do I got faith in you, you're gonna make it through Cause you don't chase money, money chasing you Keep laboring like you got a baby due You won't taste no fruits like Naked Juice Wo!! The world won't wait for you, you gonna take it now You gonna make a vow As long as you on planet earth put family first got to make 'em proud Hey, let me break it down, oh, bless your hearts Keep talking bout how stressed you are Better talk about how blessed you are (Hook: Marsha Ambrosius) Lord knows I had it hard today Had it hard today Still I gotta keep my head up high along the way Cause it only gets better, better It only gets better from here It only gets better, better It only gets better from here (Bridge 2: Marsha Ambrosius) Every day I got to get up early, wake the kids Get on running made again Go to work watching in Every day I'm hustling Fight the traffic, lose my cool Get the kids up at the school Life it's hard, yeah, that's true This is what I have to do (Hook: Marsha Ambrosius) Cause it only gets better, better It only gets better from here It only gets better, better It only gets better from here (Verse 2: Talib Kweli) Walk with God be still and listen Try to talk to God what's real I'm spitting Call 'em Christ by name but he still ain't rising Set to my lane but still ain't listening Got ice in the veins remain so frigid Still in the k** brain cells when you hit it Order pills when you pop that, pop that, pop that Don't stop, get it, get it Started, we the fighters, we survivors but we ain't living My soul is blacker than the Friday after Thanksgiving People of colour 25% more likely than whites to face prison But just because the president is black there's no more racism? Post-racial? More like most racial The hate for you disgraceful Don't let it take you off your base, let it motivate you Don't let it overtake you, so what another cloud Survive the storm by riding on the beasts of the southern wild Wow (Hook: Marsha Ambrosius) Lord knows I had it hard today Had it hard today Still I gotta keep my head up high along the way Cause it only gets better, better It only gets better from here It only gets better, better It only gets better from here Memories live, man, and my memories stay alive..
