Tupac feat Skylar Grey - Better Days_Words Remix _ HD
[00:00.53] Better days, better days, better days
[00:04.51] Hey, better days
[00:07.69] Got me thinkin' about better days
[00:10.61] Thinkin' back as an adolescent, who would've guessed
[00:14.07] That in my future years I'd be stressin'?
[00:16.20] Some say the ghetto's sick and corrupted
[00:18.32] Plus my P.O. won't let me hang
[00:20.17] With the brothers I grew up with
[00:21.77] Tryin' to keep my head up and stay strong
[00:23.90] All my homies slangin' yayo all day long
[00:26.56] But they wrong, so I'm solo and so broke
[00:29.21] Savin' up for some Jordan's, 'cause they dope
[00:31.88] I got a girl and I love her, but she broke too
[00:34.79] And so am I; I can't take her to the places she wanna go to
[00:37.71] So, we argue and play fight, all day and night
[00:41.17] Makin' passionate love 'til the daylight
[00:43.55] Plus we about to get evicted, can't pay the rent
[00:45.42] Guess it's time to see who really is your friend
[00:49.67] Tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed
[00:51.52] So many blessings while we stressin'
[00:53.65] Lookin' for them better days
[00:55.24] Always talkin shit
[00:56.57] Took your advice
[00:57.90] And did the opposite
[01:00.02] Just being young and stupid
[01:03.47] Oh
[01:05.34] I haven't been all that you
[01:07.73] Could have hoped for
[01:08.52] But I you held on
[01:09.32] A little longer
[01:10.65] You'd have had more reasons
[01:13.85] To be proud
[01:14.65] Oh
[01:16.25] So many questions
[01:18.90] But I'm talking to myself
[01:21.82] I know that you can't hear me
[01:23.95] Anymore, not anymore
[01:27.13] So much to tell you
[01:29.26] And most of all goodbye
[01:32.45] But I know that you can't hear me
[01:34.57] Anymore
[01:34.73] So much to tell you
[01:35.53] And most of all goodbye
[01:36.06] But I know that you can't hear me
[01:36.32] Anymore
[01:37.65] Now, me and you was real cool, hell on them square fools
[01:42.73] Since back in high school, we was true, me and you
[01:44.32] Hardly parted or separated, we stayed faded
[01:46.71] Affiliated with gang-bangers and still made it
[01:49.37] Up in the gym, mess with me, gotta mess with him
[01:52.29] Still dressin' like grown men when rollin'
[01:54.94] Out in the dark, smokin' Newports, gamin' marks
[01:57.87] Got a place in my heart, homie, stay smart
[02:00.79] Locked you up in the pen, and gave you three to ten
[02:03.45] I send you letters with naked flicks of old friends
[02:06.64] Hopin' you well, I know it's hell
[02:08.00] Doin' time in the cells, you need mail when you in jail
[02:10.38] And me, I'm doin' cool
[02:13.31] I settled down, had a family, workin' a night school
[02:17.03] Every once in a while, I reminisce
[02:20.22] And I wonder how we ever came to this; I miss the better days
[02:22.09] Always talkin shit
[02:23.95] Took your advice
[02:25.81] And did the opposite
[02:27.40] Just being young and stupid
[02:30.59] Oh
[02:32.45] I haven't been all that you
[02:34.04] Could have hoped for
[02:35.37] But I you held on
[02:36.70] A little longer
[02:38.03] You'd have had more reasons
[02:39.90] To be proud
[02:42.01] Oh
[02:43.61] So many questions
[02:46.26] But I'm talking to myself
[02:48.66] I know that you can't hear me
[02:51.07] Anymore, not anymore
[02:54.26] So much to tell you
[02:56.92] And most of all goodbye
[03:00.12] But I know that you can't hear me
[03:02.52] Anymore
[03:05.17] Time to question our lifestyle, look how we live
[03:07.29] Smokin' weed like it ain't no thing, so even kids
[03:10.22] Wanna try now, then lie down and get ran through
[03:13.41] Nobody watches 'em, clockin' the evil man do
[03:16.05] Faced with the demons
[03:17.92] Addicted to hearin' victims screamin'
[03:19.26] Guess we was evil since birth, product of cursed semens
[03:21.65] 'Cause even our birthdays is cursed days
[03:24.31] A born thug in the first place, the worst ways
[03:26.72] I'd love to see the block in peace
[03:29.90] With no more dealers and crooked cops
[03:31.76] The only way to stop the beast
[03:32.83] And only we can change
[03:34.68] It's up to us to clean up the streets, it ain't the same
[03:37.08] Too many murders, too many funerals, and too many tears
[03:40.00] Just seen another brother buried
[03:42.65] Plus I knew him for years
[03:43.45] Passed by his family, but what could I say?
[03:45.58] Keep yo' head up and try to keep the faith
[03:48.23] And pray for better days
[03:49.03] Always talkin shit
[03:51.15] Took your advice
[03:52.48] And did the opposite
[03:54.36] Just being young and stupid
[03:57.28] Oh
[03:59.68] I haven't been all that you
[04:01.26] Could have hoped for
[04:02.59] But I you held on
[04:04.98] A little longer
[04:05.51] You'd have had more reasons
[04:06.58] To be proud
[04:08.96] Oh
[04:10.82] So many questions
[04:13.48] But I'm talking to myself
[04:15.61] I know that you can't hear me
[04:19.60] Anymore, not anymore
[04:21.72] So much to tell you
[04:24.38] And most of all goodbye
[04:27.29] But I know that you can't hear me
[04:29.95] Anymore
[04:31.81] So much to tell you
[04:34.47] And most of all goodbye
[04:35.53] But I know that you can't hear me
