Better My Life Lyrics by Denace

The Gift and the Curse

2013

(Intro) (With Hook In Background)
Yeah, you know, sometimes life is harsh man, you know, it's how you look at it
(Hook)
I'm counting down the days, working over night
Trying to find ways to better my life
And I know that this road keeps turning
And I don't know which way to go
(Verse 1)
Yeah, I'm tired of being broke, I've said it once, I'll say it again
Don't you hate when you're low on cash so low that you cannot pay your rent?
Cuz I do, I hate that, you see me driving a Maybach?
I don't think so cuz I'm stuck driving this grey cab
(Hook x2)
I'm counting down the days, working over night
Trying to find ways to better my life
And I know that this road keeps turning
And I don't know which way to go
(Verse 2)
Man I'm sick of this, the pain I feel's ridiculous
Envision this, little boy that never fit in, showed no interest
Down with his face in a notebook, trying to write rhymes like Yo! Look!
I think this is it I love her, pictures on his wall all over
Of rappers he looks up to, he went from hi to fuck you
His mood changed, became strange, rap made him nuts, so insane
I think I should try this, he says to himself
I really like this, maybe I can make this dream of mine if I focus my iris!
But wait a minute, here's what they call an obstacle
My voice sounds too much like uh yeah, they must have separated at the hospital
It's a gift and a curse, that's what I call it, damnit, it hurts, now an alcoholic
And every verse I'm thinking what would have happened if I was put on first...
(Hook x2)
I'm counting down the days, working over night
Trying to find ways to better my life
And I know that this road keeps turning
And I don't know which way to go
(Verse 3)
I've been through shit, I've been through hell
So many tears I've shed for myself
I've had the good, I've had the bad, more bad then good, I hate the fact
But damn it, I stuck to rap cuz man it
Help me get back, up from the granite
Jump in the air with a pump in my shoes and I fell down standing!
That's what I call a winner, a champion at heart
You fall you get back up and fight and show them who you are
Come on Denace, get up! I know you're fucking fed up
Come on don't you let up, it's only a matter of time before things get better
Maybe you're right so I hold it down
When I hold this mic I'm homeward bound
I gotta show my best when I throw it down
There's no demon out here that can hold me down
I've seen cash I've been poor, I've been high and I've been low
The greatest things I've seen go, so cherish what you have and keep it close
Don't you cry it'll be alright, wipe them tears look at the sky
You see the stars? That's what you are just look inside you
You just gotta find it, it's there behind that dark cloud you've built inside you
Just clear it and show the world, don't hide it!
(Hook x2)
I'm counting down the days, working over night
Trying to find ways to better my life
And I know that this road keeps turning
And I don't know which way to go
(Outro)
Man, it's okay, just keep your head up no matter what. There's always good in that bad just like there's bad in good you know what I'm saying. Just gotta level it out somehow. Keep your head up man
