Better Days - Joe

Ooh child, things are going to get easier

Ooh child, things will get brighter

Better days, better days

Better days, better days

Keep your head up

Better days, better days

Better days, better days

Keep your head up

She grew up in Brooklyn

The Eastside and fulton street

Never knew her father, he got shot hustling

She started acting much older

Her mother couldn’t control her

Losing direction, started sex’n, no protection

And now she’s expecting

A life she wasn’t ready for

She’s feeling rejected

And her future’s unsure

And if you want

Run out there on your own

Don’t give up sunshine

There will be better days

(Keep your head up)

Gotta keep movin' on

To raise a child alone

Don’t give up sunshine

There will be better days

(Keep your head up)

Are you down with full time

On weekends stripping?

So you met baller, but ain’t down but trick’n

Gonna have to put your kid through school

Guess you hit snotty love for you

And you know your wrong girl

You gotta believe

It’s gonna be alright

You gotta keep your head up

Think about it now

(Keep your head up)

To my young sisters, it’s gonna be alright

You gotta keep your head up

Oh she’s so young

And if you want

Run out there on your own

Don’t give up sunshine

There will be better days

(Keep your head up)

Gotta keep movin' on

To raise a child alone

Don’t give up sunshine

There will be better days

(Keep your head up)

And if you want

Run out there on your own

Don’t give up sunshine

There will be better days

(Keep your head up)

Gotta keep movin' on

To raise a child alone

Don’t give up sunshine

There will be better days

(Keep your head up)
