[Hook] Wanna, wanna do better I wanna, wanna do better I wanna, wanna do better but they keep pushing me down still I pray and I cope I been down but I rose Don't have much but got hope Don’t have much but got hope [Verse] I wanna do better but why they label as a criminal? Need to stay on the low for they sit me down And question me bout my whereabouts Cause I've been sent back once and I don't ever plan to go back Cause last time I was in my own land I felt I was under attack But managed to find a way back to my home Only thing I’m really tryna to keep on the low But that, cops acting so racist man I can feel tension when I make a glance See I gotta a plan, do good in this earth But people don't see it were misunderstood I still got dreams, but they are deferred Dealing with shit but I can't show my hurt, yet Been dealt this cards I gotta purpose Take care of my mother man I'm certain That we'll be ok, you know we got faith Its been hard but we better now So when people are saying get em out You don't belong here what you upset about? That shit angers me, this all I know I'm american and this is home But people don't see it like that And instead they wanna build walls Sit down and do nothing at all Despite it gotta stay strong shit What I’m supposed to do When it feel like nobody ever notice you Like I ain’t got family or cousins too Like I don't gotta work and got things to do damn [Verse 2] I wanna do better but tell me why my dads not around Calls and tells me he’s out of town And he'll be back but for now I gotta go to school and I hate it So much in my head I can't take it So I just sit down in the back Teachers get mad and I laugh But I have a lot of issues they can't see Cousins got deported just last week And they expect me to pay attention But theres somethings that you can’t teach Like I don't understand why my dads gotta hide When he's just trying to provide He tells me it will all better but I know that is just a lie I sometimes stare up to the sky Me and my friends talk about life Smoke a joint and we get high And for a moment everythings fine Till I go back home, my moms screaming at me She never listens to me, she always out in the streets I'm dudu-ducking police and I'm running away Why am I living this way? In shadows all day, I just sit and I pray Ignore all the hate that they showing I'll prove em wrong I know where I'm going I ain't neva brake the law, done nothing wrong I know that I'm young but I do belong No matter what happens i'm staying strong damn [Hook] I wanna, wanna do better I wanna, wanna do better I wanna, wanna do better I wanna, wanna do better For us ill never give up I'll never give in to what they telling me now But no ones hearing me out
