Omar Mansour - BETTER DAYS Lyrics

Know it's gone end how it started
That shit's written just like how them pyramids align with the stars
Know Imma drown if I keep 'em around they weighing me down
They got heavy hearts, ay ay
Bars be as hard as granite been pushing that they think we from another planet
Ain't no opps can't get us to panic, we take life for granted, we die we don't rot

Tryna turn us to slivers since Menes
Tryna have our achievements blemished
Tryna have our achievements diminished
Narmer Palette, the answer's within it
Imma do this shit 'til I get a Grammy
This is my season, ain't no finale
Steering the ship eyes closed
Cooking up shit in the galley
If I die bury me in the Valley

In the Valley of Kings
Took 'em two decades to build them complexes of Giza
Guess it takes the same to crown a new king
Put it all on the line with this record
It's about the message
Don't worry about a profit upswing
I just keep to my ethic of work
I don't do second-guessing
Just be working hard, hope it brings
Hope it brings me close to my dreams

Know it's gone end how it started
That shit's written just like how them pyramids align with the stars
Know Imma drown if I keep 'em around they weighing me down
They got heavy hearts, ay ay
Bars be as hard as granite been pushing that they think we from another planet
Ain't no opps can't get us to panic, we take life for granted, we die we don't rot

Rapper, producer the vision too pure
Die for my city, the money offshore
Outrap these rappers and it ain't my first tongue
The batting average irrelevant-home run if I swung
Do this shit 'til the watch is Swiss
'Til I get mom a permanent stay in the Ritz
You ain't never seen a boy rapping like this from a place like this
In it to put the CAI on the map
About to buy a place big as Versailles making raps
Not in the same league, step aside mind the gap
Dream's the cousin of death, the limit's the sky, I don't nap

Know it's gone end how it started
That shit's written just like how them pyramids align with the stars
Know Imma drown if I keep 'em around they weighing me down
They got heavy hearts, ay ay
Bars be as hard as granite been pushing that they think we from another planet
Ain't no opps can't get us to panic, we take life for granted, we die we don't rot

Roaming them streets (I ain't forget)
Dead in the streets (I ain't forget)
Killed us to cease (I ain't forget)
Death 'fore retreat (I ain't forget)
United since years (I ain't forget)
They sowed, time to reap (I ain't forget)
The day of police (I ain't forget)

I sit and reflect and think
About how to reset the time to get back what they done stole
I know adjusting can make things more just
Like when giving back wealth if there's money's invloved
But how can you get back a certain perspective
That had you invested in a future to grow
To think that the pain did not all go in vain
And go back to that kid who was full of hope
Things got so bad that we miss what we had
But I know for a fact it's them eyeglasses rose
The what-ifs and what-could've-been of it all
Is what's making the fall be hurting the most
It gets worse every time they try to make it better
Think we'd be better off if we don't make endeavors
Fought for more but our shares got even lesser
Man, I'm still seeking repose
It gets too bleak, know sunshine done ceased
It's about time to read the wall writings do speak
They telling me that you shall never be free
They tell me you seek what you cannot retrieve
An old man been on this earth years long
Told me to you can look at the past to simply mourn
I'd rather learn about could push through the storms
Those who did right when were clearly wronged
Crown of the Wild, the city of the slave that broke free built a palace to replace his cage
Much like a flame, he brought light to the shade
The difference is that you're 600 years late
