Better Days ft. Ridah Talatu Lyrics

Alot of pain in my soul

Alot of things you don't know

Every time God makes a way

Satan dey for the door

It's like what more can I say

I've been so stuck in my ways

That's the reason I'm feeling guilty every time that I pray

Why should God answer my prayers when I'm out here sinning

Why do I get jealous when I see my people winning

See back in high school omo I was always bad at maths

But 10 years later now I be so skilled with compositions

I hope my people listen

I know some people wey dey hawk for the streets

At the end of every day can barely stand on their feet

But wetin man go do

No other option get through the day

They make two thousand a week talkless of minimum wage

Damn

Every other day them dey para for the authority

But what do you expect when you're looked down as a minority

In your own country

Food for thoughts but we going hungry

Cause like a trip down to Apapa dawg the road's bumpy

Word to the people call it viewers discretion

Half my generation lost other half dealing with depression

Diamond in the rough I turned out well with all the pressure dawg

Life is a teacher is but you out here skipping lessons my guy

City's cold dawg we tired of all these rainy days

Weather the storm young soldier gotta make a way

Momma told me trying times you gotta keep the faith

Close my eyes mahn I'm just praying up for better days

Jah let your light shine on me

No matter how dark it might seem to be

As we dey hustle every day

We pray make the hustle dey pay

We be working hard for our better days

Conversations with momma she's droppings gems now

We used to never have these convos

But I'm glad she understands that I'm a man now

Emotions affi pen down

Young Wole Soyinka I never put the pen down

Can't ignore the fact that my parents are getting older

And time is of the essence cause death is getting closer

Every move gotta be major

Taste gotta be savoured

Way ahead of my peers I reaped the fruits of my labour

Overwhelmed Lagos life is a circus

Treating lives like it's worthless

Barely scratching the surface

Make or break and I'm yet to fulfil my purpose

Verses come with delivery like mountain of fire service my guy

City's cold dawg we tired of all these rainy days

Weather the storm young soldier gotta make a way

Momma told me trying times you gotta keep the faith

Close my eyes mahn I'm just praying up for better days

Jah let your light shine on me

No matter how dark it might seem to be

As we dey hustle every day

We pray make the hustle dey pay

We be working hard for our better days

Jah let your light shine on me

No matter how dark it might seem to be

As we dey hustle every day

We pray make the hustle dey pay

We be working hard for our better days

Said I wanna see your light shine in my life everywhere that I go

And everywhere that I be

Let me see you let your ah ahh

As we dey hustle every day

We pray make the hustle dey pay

We be working hard for the better days
