Lyrics
CHORUS
I'M SEARCHING FOR BETTER DAYS NO MORE HEARTACHE, I'M REACHING FOR THE LORD'S HAND, CAUSE HE HAS MY PLAN, LAID OUT FOR ME, HE'S IN CHARGE OF MY DESTINY, I'M SEARCHING FOR BETTER DAYS, THAT BRINGS SMILES TO MY FACE..
VERSE 1
YA'LL DONT KNOW THE TEARS THAT I'VE CRIED THAT MAMA HAD TO DRY, INSIDE I FELT THAT I HAD DIED , NO MORE COLD AND LONLEY NIGHTS. I WAS SEARCHING FOR MY DESTINY, LORD LET ME BE OK, ITS OK MOM DONT CRY, SOON WE GONNA SEE THE LIGHT. CAUSE I'M TIRED OF PUTTING YALL THROUGH PAIN, AND I KNOW THERE ARE BETTER DAYS THAT ARE COMING MY WAY.
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 2
OUTSIDE I WOULD TRY TO HIDE ALL THE HURT I FELT INSIDE, I PRAY TO GOD LET ME FIND PLACE, CAUSE WITH YOU I'M GONNA WIN THIS RACE. AND I LOVE SO EASILY, PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME, THE ONLY WAY MY PAIN WOULD EASE IS TO GET DOWN ON MY KNEES, PRAY TO GOD LET ME SEE THE LIGHT, CAUSE I DONT HAVE THE STRENGHT TO FIGHT, NO!! BUT THERE ARE BETTER DAYS THAT ARE COMING MY WAY..
REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES
RAP SOLO-SKEETA ( SKEE BEAR)
BETTER DAYS ALWAYS SEEM JUST TO PASS ME BY, AINT NO SUNSHINE AND ITS CLOUDY IN THE SKY, LOOK UP AT THE LORD AND I GOT TO ASK WHY MUST ANOTHER DRIP DRY FROM MY EYES, THATS WHY I TRIED TO BE THE COLDEST IN THE GAME, SITUATIONS MAINTAINS YET STAYS THE SAME. IF YOU HAVN'T HEARD SKEE BEAR IS MY NAME, CALL ME INSANE CAUSE I ENDURE THE PAIN, OH NO HOLLY O, LET EM' KNOW THAT ITS REAL , AND THIS IS TRULY HOE WE FEEL, GOTTA HAVE SOME SKILLS TO PAY THE BILLS AND MAKE MEALS, AND USE THEM SAME SKILLS TO MAKE THE PAIN KINDA CHILL, YOU KNOW THE DEAL. LIFE'S GONNA BE FUNNY ALWAYS, TRIED TO FIND MY INNER THOUGHTS BUT I'M IN A MAZE, GOTTA WATCH MY UH-HUH'S, ALRIGHTS, AND OK'S AND ON MY KNEES I PRAY SEARCHING FOR SOME SUNNY RAYS ARE SOME BETTER DAYS....
REPEAT CHORUS
