'it gotta get better man'
it's just seem like it keep getting worse and worse man
'it is though to be honest with you though family
bill collectors calling all day barely paying the rent
eviction notice on the door landlord acting just like an anus
on the phone with pg and e try'na make payment arrangements
higher than it's ever been
hopefully he's heaven sent
a young black man highly educated intelligent
i was raised in the hood so what the fuck
when we a do anything to make a buck
i got the potentials but i ain't got the credentials
they say that it's simple they say it's all in my mento
my grandma just passed and i'm just leaving her funeral
the martition did a heck of a job
shortly after that bout a month in a half long
the good lord called for my granddaddy to come home
but i can't sleep at night
and right now everything's tight

i can't squeeze juice out of attorney

or should i keep my job at applebee's
my bank killing with these overdraft fees
my credit already fucked up so send me to collections
they called me at work the doctor say i got gout

cause gout feels ten times worse than a toothache
but i ain't goin kill myself

but i can't sleep at night
and right now everything's tight
it's gotta get betta round here
cause it can't get no worse
cause it can't get no worse
for they shall inherit the earth
still self-medicating away the hurt
have you looked in these kids eyes they are all so angry
things are gotta get better better

i don't really know what it's coming to
but it's gotta get better
it gotta get better round here
i don't really know what it's coming to
but i can't sleep at night
and right now everything's tight

cause it can't get no worse
