I know sometimes life can get you down hard
Gotta keep fighting, never letting down your guard
If you're like me, I know your past has left some scars
Nothing bright, life was dark, damn memoirs
And nowadays, I got an answer for my flaws
No more running wild, trying to live above the law
Got a new perspective, things look different in the mirror
Vision used to be foggy, now I'm seeing clearer
So much nearer to the place I wanna be
Stability is key, from rocking in these seas
Back and forth, to being planted like a tree
I still fight tough, still dealing with debris
Learn to bend, in the wind like pawns
From trees, refuse to settle
And be a product of these streets
Not remaining shallow, I'm swimming to the deep
Grinding every day, refuse to accept the fiends
I, I, have a dream
I, I, have a dream
I, I, have a dream
I still have a dream
I, I, have a dream
I, I, have a dream
I, I, have a dream
I still have a dream
I've seen a lot of my life, but things could always get worse
So much division in this world that just produces hurt
Day after day in a rage, going straight ballistic
It's sad the youth have no future according to statistics
In these times we live in, what's the plan for children?
This is one thing that can't be cured with penicillin
It's not funny when you teach kids adult language
When they get old, they wonder why they're so anguished
Is it all fault they've experienced extreme pain?
Cursed the devil for the cold, but we were in the rain
Getting wet playing, acting like some straight fools
Social media got us tripping, striving to be cool
Spitting straight truth, ain't even mention God
If you don't believe, you can still see human flaws
We're sucking life out the youth, pride is the straw
Let's be real, straight up, no facades
It's gonna get better, better, better
It's gonna get better, better, better
It's gonna get better, better, better
As you can see, I have a passion for change
Every day I wake up, I think about the pain
How can I ignite something that will spark forever?
I know the road I'm on is an uphill endeavor
I can't give up, never will I quit
My heart bleeds for change, so I must commit
Can you see the present and the current need for change?
So we can get out these walls and reach the sky?
We arrange for a brighter future that will help us all
No need to go back, moving forward, no stalls
Run, jog, crawl, take a step, let us walk
To end division, hatred, pride, time to tear down walls
It's gonna get better, but only if we strive for it
Much respect to the ones who died for it
In the words of Dr. King, I still have a dream
Despite your status, let's get on the same team
It's gonna get better, better, better
It's gonna get better, better, better
It's gonna get better, better, better
I still have a dream
It's gonna get better, better, better
It's gonna get better
I still have a dream
I still have a dream
It's gonna get better, better, better
