Better My Life - Denace

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

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

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

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
