Better World Lyrics by Knowmads

Complex Animals

2017

[Hook: Pepe]
I never knew that life would be this way
For all my peoples in the struggle who got bills to pay
I heard another young kid done got killed today
And I can't understand the reason god I feel your pain
While we sin and then we blame it on the times we live
We shouldn't have to work this hard just to be positive
I don't wanna hear you tell me that's the way it is
Cus don't we all know the world should be better than this

[Verse 1: Wilson]
Aye yo it's more than just a story that you watch on the news,
if you think they're ain't a problem then I'm talkin' to you;
Like just the other day another kid got shot for his shoes.
They gettin picked up from prison as they dropin from schools.
Why they give us lack of options tax dollars for troops,
then got the nerve to turn around and ask whats wrong with the youth.
Most of y'all stuck in the middle tryin to offer a truce.
Watch as they put they hands up still the officer shoots.
Im done fightin these laws, done dealing with cops.
I aint done doin dirt, I'm just done gettin caught.
Couldn't do it for myself but I can do it for pops.
Its twice as hard to ask for help when you could use it a lot;
But I'm so glad I listened when he said we needed to talk,
just a week after that my boy J-weezy got locked,
and now he's lookin' at 10 but get out who knows when,
so until that day imma sing it again and again.

[Hook: Pepe]
I never knew that life would be this way
For all my peoples in the struggle who got bills to pay
I heard another young kid done got killed today
And I can't understand the reason god I feel your pain
While we sin and then we blame it on the times we live
We shouldn't have to work this hard just to be positive
I don't wanna hear you tell me that's the way it is
Cus don't we all know the world should be better than this

[Verse 2: Pepe]
Somebody tell me what's the meaning of life
When people sleeping on the streets
God this shit isn't right
You at the strip club throwing dollars
Making it rain
Right offa skid row kids be putting H in they veins
I know some people chasing money
And the corporate thing
But sorta lost their value to me cus their morals have changed
We on our cellphones scrolling for the fortune and fame
Feels like the best that we could hope for is more of the same
The way they misuse religion god
It hurts my soul
To shame a woman for abortion or her birth control
When she can't afford a mortgage
Or put food on the stove
And the housing scandal went and dug us deep in a hole
Now bury the truth beneath a pile of money
Another cop on paid leave without a trial or nothing uh
Blame the victim it's time to change the system
I keep on praying for the day the world gon finally listen cmon

[Hook: Pepe]
I never knew that life would be this way
For all my peoples in the struggle who got bills to pay
I heard another young kid done got killed today
And I can't understand the reason god I feel your pain
While we sin and then we blame it on the times we live
We shouldn't have to work this hard just to be positive
I don't wanna hear you tell me that's the way it is
Cus don't we all know the world should be better than this

[Outro]
I wonder if the sunshine feel the rain,
I wonder if the government feel ashamed,
We gon sing until we see things change,
Cus we don't believe it gotta be this way,
I wonder if the sunshine feel the rain,
I wonder if the government feel ashamed,
We gon sing until we see things change,
Cus we don't believe it gotta be this way.
