[C#] [N] Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my [E] only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
[C#] Lonely as I [D] am together [E] with crime
Better days, better [C#m] days
Better days, hey, better days
Got me thinking about better days
Better [E] days, better [A] days, better [E] days
[B] Better [C#m] days, got me thinking [A] about better [E] days
Time [C#m] to question our lifestyle, [E] look how we live
Smoking [A] weed like it ain't no [E] thing
So even kids wanna [B] try now
Then lie [C#m] down and get ran through
[A] Nobody watches and [E] blocking the evil man do
Faced with [N] the demons addicted to hearing victims scream
Guess we was evil since birth, brought up the cursed scenes
Cause even our birthdays [Bm] is cursed days
A born [C#m] thug in the first place, the worst ways
I love to see [E] the block in peace
With no [A] more dealers and crooked cops
[E] The only way to stop the [B] beast
And only we [C#m] can change
It's up to us to clean up [A] the streets, it ain't [E] the same
Too many murders, [C#m] too many funerals [E] and too many tears
Just seen [A] another brother bury, plus [E] I've known him for years
That's why [B] it's family, [C#m] but what can I say
Keep [A] your head up and try to keep [E] the faith
And pray for better days
I don't ever wanna [A] be [E] like I did back [B] then
But take me to [C#m] the place I [A] love
[E] Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna [A] be [E] like I did [B] back then
But take me to [C#m] the place I love
[A] [E] Take me all the [C#m]
way
Thinking [E] back as an adolescent
[A] Who would've guessed that in [E] my future years
I'd [B] be stressing some say the [C#m] ghetto's sick and corrupt
Plus my [A] PO won't let [E] me hang with the brothers I grew up with
[C#] Trying to keep my head up and stay strong
All my homies slinging yayo all day long
But they wrong, so I'm solo and so broke
Saving up for some Jordans, cause they dope
[C#m] I got a girl and [E] I love her, but she broke too
[A] And so am I, I [E] can't take her to the place she wanna [B] go to
So [C#m] we argue and play fight, [A] all day and night
Making [E] passionate love to [C#m] the daylight
Plus we [E] about to get evicted, [A] can't pay the rent
Guess [E] it's time to see who really is [B] your friend
[C#] Tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed
So many blessings while we stressing
[C#m] Looking for them better days
I don't ever [E] wanna be [A] [E] like I did back [B] then
But take me to [C#m] the place I love
[A] [E] Take me all the [C#m] way
I don't ever [E] wanna be [A] [E] like I did [B] back then
But take me to the [C#m] place I [A] love
[E] Take me all the [C#m] way
Now me and you [E] was real cool, hell [A] of them square fools
Since [E] back in high school, we was [B] true, me and you
[C#m] Only parted or separated, we stayed faded
[E] Affiliated [G#m] with gangbangers and still made it
[Em] Up in the gym, [C#m] mess with me, gotta mess with him
[A#] Still dressing like grown [F#m] men when rolling
Out in the dark, smoking [E] LuPorn's, gaming mocs
Got a place in my heart, [C#m] homies stay smart
[E] Lock you up in the pen, [A] they give you three to ten
[E] I send you letters with naked [B] flicks of old friends
[C#m] Hoping you well, [A] I know it's hell doing time [E] of the sale
You need mail [C#m] when you in [E] jail, and me I'm doing [A] cool
I settled [E] down, had a family, [B] working at night school
[C#m] Every once in a [A] while I reminisce
And [E] I wonder how we ever came to this
I miss the better days
I don't ever wanna [A] be [E] like I did back [B] then
But take me to the [C#m] place I [C#] love
[E] Take me all the way
I don't ever wanna be [A] [E] like I did back [B] then
But take me to the [C#m] place I [A] love
