Nathan Johnson - Better Dayz

Yeah

Nat king

Yo

Someone said that life gets easier with every step i take
Every breath i take, every move i make i seem to hesitate
Emotional spectrum outta wack i sit and contemplate
My future is pointless, i'm feelin trapped in a depressive state
Holdin' myself to higher standards i believe i can meet
But yet i hold myself back keeping my talents discreet
If i could just let go who knows what i could complete
But yet my inner demons struggle like they tryna compete
So much stress is weighin' down on my body
That i forget that i'm blessed while still wishin' i had bugattis
Uh
Puttin' more pressure on me, which then affects everybody
And i know it ain't fair, to us it's more than a hobby
My thoughts get darker the longer i try to keep 'em in check
And with my money coming and going i write down regrets
I've fallen victim to the voice in my head
That with the anger inside has gotta nigga in debt
Damn
Holding on to happy thoughts, i lose myself in my ways
Hoping to see more better days but i'm afraid of the change
I know the money and the fame could never heal growing pains
But with the road that i travel on now i'm just fading away
I'm just fading away
I want the money and the fame (i'm just fading away)
Hoping for better days (i'm just fading away)

Uh
Full of self loathin, anger grows from the soil of hate
Sprouting self doubt i close my mouth and watch the toil it takes
Wondering why i never cry, but see turmoil in my face
I learned to lie, emotions hide, increase the oil it takes
To spark a change, just sit back and fan the flames
'til i'm burning in my anger, but as i cook i feel no pain
Knowing i can break you down if i spoke a single phrase
But is it worth the consequences if my pride is being saved?
I think too much about others and it's become a burden
They hold me up like a rack when what i do is working
But they ain't got my back cause if i fail then imma curtain
Just leave me hanging, boy this rope is my sermon
And as i'm fallin even deeper into darkness i question
Is the money and the fame really worth the transgressions?
'cause the depression that i house is coming out with aggression
And as a tenant who tends to tense up i need possession
('cause the depression that i house is coming out with aggression
And as a tenant who tends to tense up i need possession)

Holding on to happy thoughts, i lose myself in my ways
Hoping to see more better days but i'm afraid of the change
I know the money and the fame could never heal growing pains
But with the road that i travel on now i'm just fading away
I'm just fading away
I want the money and the fame (i'm just fading away)
Hoping for better days (i'm just fading away)

Hoping for better days (i'm just fading away)

(holdin' on to happy thoughts i lose myself in my ways)

(hopin' to see more better days but i'm afraid of the change)
