It Only Gets Better - Talib Kweli, Marsha Ambrosius, Marsha Ambrosious

Lord knows I had it hard today

Had it hard today

Still I gotta keep my head up high along the way

Cause it only gets better, better

It only gets better from here

It only gets better, better

It only gets better from here

Every day I gotta wake up early

Let it break, thank the Lord at the take

Get the troops, hit the booth, spiritual, it’s been great

Practicing my gratitude, life is so beautiful

Working on that attitude, just because

It only gets better, better

It only gets better from here

It only gets better, better

It only gets better from here

Every day I gotta

Trust the God and hustle hard

My grind is real, my hustle dope

I’m finding meals, I’m signing deals

I’m the Gladiator like Russell Crowe

Yeah, you know it’s real, but I’m focused still

Why you focus shake it like gold field

Cause you’re not in tune, no, you’re not immune

No acclamation, no golden seal

You sick side, gotta flush it down

We talk to folks, cover your mouth

Ain’t nobody gonna cover that shifts

So you go to work, you tuff it down

You bust it out till you’re out for work

I know your boss a jerk, you’re gonna cuss a mouth

Hit it with a bus driver upper-cut

That cock only think you punch him out

I relate to you, you gotta pay your dues

When the time is right you gotta make a move

Your job is what you get paid to do

Your call is what you’re made to do

I got faith in you, you’re gonna make it through

Cause you don’t chase money, money chasing you

Keep laboring like you got a thing to do

Won’t taste no foods like they put you

No more wait for you, you gonna take it now

You gonna make a vault

As long as you walk on the earth with that first got to make me proud

Hey, let me break it down, oh, bless your hearts

Keep talking bout how stressed you are

Better talk about how blessed you are

Lord knows I had it hard today

Had it hard today

Still I gotta keep my head up high along the way

Cause it only gets better, better

It only gets better from here

It only gets better, better

It only gets better from here

Every day I got to get up early, wake the kids

Get on running made again

Go to work watching in

Every day I’m hustling

Fight the traffic, lose my cool

Get the kids right after school

Think it’s hard, yeah, that’s true

This is what I have to do

Cause it only gets better, better

It only gets better from here

It only gets better, better

It only gets better from here

What we got is true they listen

Try to talk to gal but is real what I’m spitting

Call Christ by name but still ain’t rising

Set to my lane but still ain’t listening

Got ice in the vans we make so frigid

Still in the kill brain self when you hit it

Order pills when you pop that, pop that, pop that

Don’t stop, get it, get it

Started, we the fighters, we survivors but we ain’t living

My soul is blacker than the Friday after Thanks Giving

We love that color 25% more like we like to face prison

But just because the president was black there’s no racism?

Postracial?

More like most racial

They hate for you disgraceful

Don’t let them take you off your base, let them motivate you

Don’t let it overtake you, so what another clause

Survive the storm but riding on the beach in the southern wild

Lord knows I had it hard today

Had it hard today

Still I gotta keep my head up high along the way

Cause it only gets better, better

It only gets better from here

It only gets better, better

It only gets better from here
