Lyrics

0:03My intuition is telling me there'll be better days
0:09Yeah
0:13My intuition is telling me there'll be better days
0:16I like this tone
0:19Yeah my intuition is telling me there'll be better days
0:22I sit in silence and find whenever I meditate
0:24My fears alleviate my tears evaporate
0:27My faith don't deviate ideas don't have a date
0:30But see I'm growing and getting stronger with every breath
0:32Bringing me closer to heaven's doors with every step
0:34As we speak I'm at peace no longer scared to die
0:37Most don't believe in God and so they terrified
0:40It's either that or they be fearing they gon' go to hell
0:42Asking the father for forgiveness God
0:44I'm overwhelmed
0:46As if he's spiteful like them white folks that control the jail
0:49See I believe if God is real he'd never judge a man
0:52Because he knows us all and therefore he would understand
0:54The ignorance that make a take his brother's life
0:57The bitterness and pain that got him beating on his wife
1:00I know you desperate for a change at the pen glide
1:02But the only real change come from inside
1:05But the only real change come from inside
1:07But the only real change come from
1:10In cemeteries or in chains I see men cry
1:12But the only real change come from inside
1:15But the only real change come from inside
1:17But the only real change come from
1:19Yeah my chosen religion Jesus piece frozen from sinnin'
1:22Doin' dirt hoping to God he know my intentions
1:24To see a million 'fore I see a casket
1:26I got a baby on the way know he gon' be a bastard
1:28I'm living fast like I'm in a drag race how that cash taste
1:31When I was a senior I was ballin' on my classmates
1:34Put three bullets in my car one hit the gas tank
1:37Know I got a angel cause I'm supposed to have a halo
1:39Right now my lifestyle destined for a federal facility
1:41For my ability to make them birds fly
1:44Fiends wanna get higher than a bird's eye view
1:46And who am I tell a what to do
1:48I just supply it's economics
1:49My business ain't got the suit and tie
1:51Keep a pistol at all times want what's mine
1:54I can't oblige dog I work too hard
1:56So reach for it get referred to God I'm going hard
2:00I know you desperate for a change at the pen glide
2:03But the only real change come from inside
2:04But the only real change come from inside
2:07But the only real change come from
2:09In cemeteries or in chains I see men cry
2:12But the only real change come from inside
2:14But the only real change come from inside
2:17But the only real change come from
2:19Yeah prodigal son got a new gun this one
2:20Don't run out of ammo lately been working on my handles
2:23Can I ball become a star and remain my self
2:25If I fall dust it off and regain my self
2:28F**k ''em all they don't know all the pain I felt
2:31I'm in awe after all the fame I felt I evolve
2:34I no longer bury demons I be a vessel for the truth
2:37Until I'm barely breathing I'm singing
2:41Life is all about the evolution
2:44I give up I give in I move back a little
2:45I live up I look up now I'm back for more
2:50You can dream but don't neglect the execution
2:53I give up I give in I move back a little
2:56I live up I look up now I'm back for more
3:00Time is short that's what somebody told me
3:03I give up I give in I move back a little
3:06I live up I look up now I'm back for more
3:10Too short to keep following your homies
3:14I give up I give in I move back a little
3:16I live up I look up now I'm back for more
3:18I reminisce back to a time where threw they hands
3:20All of a sudden pop a trunk and then we scram
3:23Finger on trigger make a little understand
3:25What it's like to finally be the motherf**kin' man
3:28Eyes wide that's from the power that the coward feels
3:30Die over b**ches disrespecting dollar bills
3:33Bloodshed that turned the city to a battlefield
3:35I call it poison you call it real
3:37That's how you feel
3:38Pistols be poppin' and drop in a heartbeat
3:40Scattered like roaches a body laid on the concrete
3:42Body laid on the concrete
3:45Look somebody laid on the concrete
3:48No time for that ain't no lookin' back cause I'm running too
3:50I made it home I woke up and turned on the morning news
3:53Overcame with a feeling I can't explain
3:54Cause that was my James that was slain he was 22
3:58Last night at around
3:59He was 22
My intuition is telling me there'll be better days
Yeah
My intuition is telling me there'll be better days
I like this tone
Yeah my intuition is telling me there'll be better days
I sit in silence and find whenever I meditate
My fears alleviate my tears evaporate
My faith don't deviate ideas don't have a date
But see I'm growing and getting stronger with every breath
Bringing me closer to heaven's doors with every step
As we speak I'm at peace no longer scared to die

Asking the father for forgiveness God
