I just wanna be better For all of the ones that done died All of the nights that we cried I just wanna be better Them young boys left in the streets the kids who barely got food to eat I just wanna be better For all of the time that we lost Lord here's my heart have it all I just wanna be better Them young girls stuck in they ways I pray we change before it's too late I tried to be for the streets wanted the drugs and a strap Growing up that's what's expected when yo skin tone black Man it's all a trap it keep on setting us back I was only 14 when I got offered a pack That ain't love what I called og it was a fool He told me I'll never need my momma or a school If I sold drugs I thought about it like that's cool Had family strung out can't be dealing what they use Became a man at a young age was mandatory All the things I despise my peers a call glory All the lust all the greed stuck telling them story's I chose to stick with God & rid of all of my worries Was a man with a plan and I stuck with that route Can't be steady looking back like what the Jones doing now On to better things now can't be listening to the crowd Had to open up that book like what my Jesus talking bout I just wanna be better For all of the ones that done died All of the nights that we cried I just wanna be better Them young boys left in the streets the kids who barely got food to eat I just wanna be better For all of the time that we lost Lord here's my heart have it all I just wanna be better Them young girls stuck in they ways I pray we change before it's too late I just wanna be better I spend a lot of time doing dirt Evil in my heart not thinking bout who it hurt I was living that life pursuing a curse It left me broke and steady putting my dudes on a shirt That ain't love I was lost I was blind couldn't see All they did was take from me still I ride for the streets All the lies and deceit living life in defeat I was headed for the grave until Christ set me free Hallelujah Now I'm forgiving and saved and I know heaven is home Use to rep for the gang but now I rep for the thrown All the sin and the wickedness yeah I left it alone Holy Spirit inside of me tell the devil it's on Cause ima give em Jesus everyday Walking in love ima give em peace instead of hate Shining his light help em see they getting led a stray Open their eyes help em see that's it's a better way I just wanna be better For all of the ones that done died All of the nights that we cried I just wanna be better Them young boys left in the streets the kids who barely got food to eat I just wanna be better For all of the time that we lost Lord here's my heart have it all I just wanna be better Them young girls stuck in they ways I pray we change before it's too late Ain't no honor in the streets it's nothing but lost souls I done lost too many brothers from bullets to orange clothes That chapter gotta close I can't take it lord knows Instead of grabbing glocks you should be reaching for yo goals Man the same sad song man this cycle gotta end When y'all ain't even street y'all just do it for pretend Tear drops drugs y'all just do it for a trend Was raised in the streets had to get out while I can I remember as a child I thought thug was the way On the block with my gang I was filled up with hate Should've stuck with a ball let it all go to waste I Ain't have no role models I was straight led a stray To my sisters I love em gotta treat em like a Queen Let em know they worth can't be doing anything Staying purified gotta keep the mind clean Never let em settle gotta meet the lord needs I just wanna be better For all of the ones that done died All of the nights that we cried I just wanna be better Them young boys left in the streets the kids who barely got food to eat I just wanna be better For all of the time that we lost Lord here's my heart have it all I just wanna be better Them young girls stuck in they ways I pray we change before it's too late
