I had to wait
I had to wait a while to see them better days
My momma said I would and they finally came
Straight up out the slums to the finer thangs
To them brighter days
But I had to wait
I had to wait a while to see them better days
My momma said I would and they finally came
Straight up out the slums to the finer thangs
To them brighter days yea
Life is really what you make it
So I'm tryna make mine the greatest
Being broke is the lamest
I was moving so aimlessly
Now I move so gracefully
Bouncing back is my specialty
Drugged up so heavily
I feel so heavenly
I know it seem like I'm doing good
Cause ion tell em what I'm going through
You prolly wouldn't even believe me
If I told you all the shit I been through
I'm tryna get my life straight while looking out for my kin too
Deep down I got a lot of love even for the ones I ain't kin to
Praying so much you would think my hands glued
Shawty stuck on me like tattoos
We should take it to the back room
Girl you got me stiff just like a statue
I had to wait
I had to wait a while to see them better days
My momma said I would and they finally came
Straight up out the slums to the finer thangs
To them brighter days
But I had to wait
I had to wait a while to see them better days
My momma said I would and they finally came
Straight up out the slums to the finer thangs
To them brighter days yea
