Better Days
Rising Above: Chef Corey's Journey to Better Days
Lyrics
Man i'm just trying to make it out the city man
Expressing the desire to leave the city for a better life.
Trying to turn up, trying to see those better days
Aspiring to experience positive and prosperous times.
I been trying to work so I can see some better days
Working hard with the hope of encountering improved circumstances.
Grinding to the moon see you soon cause ima get my way
Commitment to grind and achieve goals, aiming for success.
Niggas talk down on another nigga im just trying to get paid
Facing criticism from others but focusing on financial goals.
If we cant run it up together I know there's a better way
Believing in finding a better way to succeed together.
To see the sun you got to learn to deal with rain
Metaphorically highlighting the need to endure challenges to reach goals.
To get a little stronger you got to go through pain
Emphasizing that personal growth often involves overcoming pain.
To make it to the top you got to learn the game
Recognizing the importance of learning the rules to reach the top.
And Ill never sell my soul for a little fame
Commitment to maintaining integrity despite the pursuit of fame.
I just want to make this bread so i can cash out
Expressing the desire to earn money and enjoy financial success.
Never was a flexer if i blow im throwing racks out
Claiming not to show off but willing to spend if successful.
Putting all my people on you know we get the racks now
Sharing success with friends and emphasizing financial gains.
And niggas love to come and test me please do not come crash out
Cautioning against challenges and confrontations.
Ima make it out my city make it out my state
Determination to escape the current environment and succeed.
Ima do that shit legit it ima do it my way
Commitment to achieving success legitimately and uniquely.
Niggas crazy now all niggas love to do is lie and hate
Observing negativity and falsehoods in the actions of others.
I just mind my own they'll try to be friends when they see im great
Choosing to stay focused despite potential fake friendships.
And i'm really finna graduate from school
Announcing an upcoming graduation from school.
Momma gonna ask me corey what u gonna try to do
Assuring the mother of pursuing a career in music.
I say im tryna do this music momma ima blow up soon
Expressing confidence in future success in the music industry.
I know the path I took is hard ima make it up to you
Acknowledging the difficulties faced and promising improvement.
She say put my mind to it nothing I can't do
Encouragement from the mother to believe in one's capabilities.
Ima put my faith in God i hope i make it to the moon
Putting faith in God for guidance and success.
I want to pay my student loans and my mommas too
Expressing the desire to financially support family and oneself.
Put myself in a better spot for me and my boo
Planning for a better future for oneself and a significant other.
I be sitting in class thinking bout cash
Daydreaming about financial success while in class.
How ima run it up get 100 racks
Setting a goal to accumulate a substantial amount of money.
I put beat to a melody super fast
Describing dedication to music creation with speed and skill.
And nothing gonna stop me from workin on my craft
Determination to persist in pursuing artistic goals.
And I mean that, ima dream that
Reiterating commitment to dreams and aspirations.
I just got out of my teens so I gotta most fast
Feeling a sense of urgency to achieve goals after leaving teenage years.
And ill pull up on the scene quick ill do a mean dash
Expressing readiness to quickly enter and exit situations.
Nothing going to stop me from gettin to this bag
Undeterred determination to attain financial success.
I been trying to work so I can see some better days
Reiteration of the commitment to work for a better future.
Grinding to the moon see you soon cause ima get my way
Recommitting to hard work and the pursuit of goals.
Niggas talk down on another nigga im just trying to get paid
Emphasizing the focus on financial gains despite criticism.
If we cant run it up together I know there's a better way
Belief in finding a more effective way to achieve success together.
To see the sun you got to learn to deal with rain
Reiterating the metaphor of enduring hardships for eventual success.
To get a little stronger you got to go through pain
Stressing the necessity of facing challenges to become stronger.
To make it to the top you got to learn the game
Highlighting the importance of understanding the rules to succeed.
And Ill never sell my soul for a little fame
Commitment to maintaining integrity and not compromising for fame.
