Mon'quez - Letter from the 810 Lyrics

We want to tell Our story
We need to tell it right
It needs to be told
About our struggle and sacrifice
Everybody want to tell us when and which way to go
How you gonna judge us
When you don't even know

Been through fires
Been through the flood
Through all the bad times
And through the good
No tearin' us up
We won't back down
There's gonna be a better day for us somehow
Gonna be a better day better day

Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day

Sometimes growing up at Ridgeway 609
It was a struggle tryin' to make ends meet
It was tough
Didn't have a dime
Praying to God that you had just a little extra to spare.
But you are only given what they give you on government welfare

Been through fires
Been through the flood
Through all the bad times
And through the good
No tearin' us up
We won't back down
There's gonna be a better day for us somehow
Gonna be a better day better day

Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day

When you don't know which way to go
And constantly on the grind
You grab the hands of your family and friends
To get you through each bind No clean water, No
No police to save the day
You lied to us
But we are gonna find a better way
Yall want to do your dance
And sing your song
You don't know what it means To struggle and stay strong
But we gettin' up strong
On that great gettin' up day
And with God smiling down on us
There's gonna be a better way Gonna be a better day

Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
Better day
