Neonblack - Better Days Lyrics

Waiting for better days, I'm not
Waiting for better days no more
I think that- I think that I deserve it
I know that- I know that I deserve it

You get what you earn
Is what they telling me
They stole the whole world
And didn't even get a felony
And jealously
Is not in my vocabulary
But apparently
We don't deserve the air we breathe
And somehow all y'all mad at me
Mad at us
That brash as f*ck
And if you push us way too far
We've had enough
My momma raised a f*cking star
Came from the mud
This anger is a sacred art
We rising up
So watch me rage
We here to take
The front stage
You here to get paid
We here just to break
'Cuz I've had a lifetimes worth of f*cking misery
You made the struggle to survive a part of my identity
And nothing that I have ever came to me easily
I made it from all from scratch no one gave me recipe
I spent all day working in the hot sun
On weekends
While my classmates out there having fun
No sleeping
'Cuz these essays needed getting done
I graduated
Barely made it
I'm not talking about grades
I'm talking about student aid
You ever been yelled at by a boujee ass bitch
Over f*ck in ten cents
Middle fingers in the air, that shit ridiculous

Waiting for better days, I'm not
Waiting for better days no more
I think that- I think that I deserve it
I know that- I know that I deserve it

I'm not waiting for better days
Tell the manager that I need a raise
And the promotion
She know I deserve it
I'm tired of being broke
I don't need a million
While they making a killing
I just wanted a living
I just want them to feel it
While my sister was pregnant
In labor, they wouldn't give me the day off
Then I was late, next thing I know I'm getting laid off
I fight with mom, I'm getting pissed off
Now I'm moving out
On my daddy's couch
Late night talks with Genesis
Man they keep me sane
I just told them I'd die for it
I ain't trying to wait
I'm not competitive
My net worth is negative
I deserve some better shit
They just said that isn't necessary
'Cuz they know I'm worth it
I'm prepared to spend my whole life working working
They won't give it to me
So I gotta take it
Better days is waiting
For me on the other side
If I find a way to put aside my pride
I could turn the tide
Man this human experience
Got me feeling delirious
I don't need a lot, just a little shine
You don't the time
I'm about to take what's mine
I'm not

Waiting for better days, I'm not
Waiting for better days no more
I think that- I think that I deserve it
I know that- I know that I deserve it
