Better Day (Ghetto Girl) - 702

Here’s the story 'bout a ghetto girl

Livin' in a ghetto world

Against the world alone

Problems in her ordinary life

Make you wanna run and hide

She can never get it right

Like the seasons when they change

Nothing ever stays the same

Surrounded by pain and empty dreams

So I pray

There’s gotta be a better day

(I'm praying for a better day)

New day

Gotta be a better way

(I'm tryna find a better way)

See, many times she didn’t have a dime

When the bills would multiply

Contemplated suicide

And mama never had that special touch

Her daddy touched her way too much

Finally she had enough, oh oh

Like the seasons when they change

Nothing ever stays the same

Surrounded by pain and empty dreams

And she’s so alone

Living in the ghetto

(I'm praying for a better day)

Ooh

(I'm tryna find a better place)

Baby, don’t you cry

Hush little baby

Please don’t you cry

Baby, there’s no need to cry

Just reach for the sky

Don’t worry, baby

(Don't worry, baby)

You’ll be alright

(You'll be alright)

So learn to smile

Kiss your tears goodbye

(Kiss your tears goodbye)

(I'm praying for a better day)

She was a little ghetto child

And then she turned her life around, another day

(I'm tryna find a better way)

And I gotta find another way

Baby, don’t you cry

Baby, don’t you cry

Dry your eyes

You can spread your wings and learn to fly high, high

For a better day

Baby, dry your eyes

Oh, a better day

You can spread your wing and learn to fly high, so high

Baby, don’t you cry

You can spread your wings and learn to fly high, high

Her mother didn’t have that touch, no

And daddy touched her way too much

Baby, dry your eyes

Yes he did, y’all

You can spread your wings and learn to fly high, so high

She’s gotta get out somehow

Said she gotta get outta the ghetto, oh yeah
