T.I. - A Better Day Lyrics

Ay, Ayyy, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ayyy
It's Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

[Chorus:]
When you rent a day late and you tryna stay straight
But the only way to get it is to slang that weight
Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

[Verse 1:]
When ya'll came in the world with a sparkle in her eye
And knowing the only thing that we will promise is to die
But a promise is a lot can't nobody guarantee it
Cause death around the corner can't nobody damn see it
I can't agree that God good at all time
But, we all know shit ain't all good at all time
So I tote my strap in the hood at all time
But respect ain't just something that's understood in our time
Especially by our kind man I hate it for the future
Police don't wanna lock you up no more they wanna shoot you
And it's half as bad as these haters'll do you
Soon as you get your loot up they wanna shoot off
Lord forbid to kill me I bet you nobody knew what
Suckas get shot and police come straight to us
Imagine how they do us ever since niggas blew up
I know your goin' through it know I'm goin through it too

[Chorus:]
When you rent a day late and you tryna stay straight
But the only way to get it is to slang that weight
Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

When you daughter like 6 and her pops ain't shit
You don't wanna tell her you and momma gotta go strip
Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

[Verse 2:]
I'm doin' this for the hood for a kid with no dad
I was just like ya'll don't feel so bad
Know it's hard when you live so bad
They whoop your ass and they wonder why you still so bad
For long you get whoopings and just laugh
Momma washin' clothes, find a lil' blue bag
She ask you what your doin' you tell her stuntin' like my daddy
You knew that I was gonna be a hustla when you had me
Look around ma you sent me to the store to get some bread
And I'm passin' at least 8 J's or mo'
You know the rent been late for 8 days or mo'
But slangin' blow up a better habit than 8 days of snow

[Chorus:]
When your speeding with the white and you see the blue lights
And you on your 3rd strike so the judge say life
Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

If your son 14 and he just stand for a criminal
It's hard to realize baby girl that God with you
Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

[Verse 3:]
My momma girl son 14 just got killed, had to cap myself
Bout to tell her I know how you feel
I had been a damn liar see her tryin' not to cry
She know he in a better place but she just wanna know why
Know somebody tellin' lie and a nigga gon' die
It's goin down, I guarantee her to calm down
I tried to convince her that he in God's arms now (What she sayin'?)
She said I don't believe that this God right now
I know it's hard right now in your heart right now
But God give new beginnings you can start right now
You can start right now cause you report right now
But shit he in better shape than we are right now

[Chorus:]
When you rent a day late and you tryna stay straight
But the only way to get it is to slang that weight
Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

When you daughter like 6 and her pops ain't shit
You don't wanna tell her you and momma gotta go strip
Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

When your speeding with the white and you see the blue lights
And you on your 3rd strike so the judge say life
Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day

If your son 14 and he just stand for a criminal
It's hard to realize baby girl that God with you
Okay, tomorrow'll be a better day
