Muzi & N.I.K - Better Than This Lyrics

I see a life that's better than this, better than this, so I got hope
Oh I got hope
I'm holding on rope that's thinner than thread, thinner than thread
But I look ahead, and that's just hope
That's just hope

I see a life that's better than this, better than this, Oh I got hope
I got hope
I see a life that's better than this, better than this, Oh I got hope
I got hope

I see a life that's better than this, better than this, so I got hope Oh I got hope
I'm holding on rope that's thinner than thread, thinner than thread
But I look ahead, and that's just hope
Hope's up but I'm not too high
Smoked up but I'm not too high, smoked up but I'm not too high

I got family that pray to god to curse me, to be honest that hurts me
I pray to god for mercy and I hope he heard me
Let's sit to a dinner and have a conversation of how we're all sinners
I got two sisters one of them suicidal, she almost left my nephew all alone
Told her if she needed a shoulder to lean on
"I'm here please, I'm here. Don't disappear"
Times were hard and family were few
Real fam' where was you now?
Real fam' where was you now?
Bless up have a good time, yeah

I see a life that's better than this, better than this, so I got hope Oh I got hope
I'm holding on rope that's thinner than thread, thinner than thread
But I look ahead, and that's just hope
Hope's up but I'm not too high
Smoked up but I'm not too high, smoked up but I'm not too high

This is my life story I was never born in wealth
Mama took care of me she cared about my health
Mama I promise I'll provide for you
I know things could be
Better Than This, better than this, better than this
You are my pillar of hope
And you are that picture of dope
The reason i cope, the reason i cope

It seems nowadays I'm checking up on ni**as
I'm sending text like "you up?" Like "N.i.K are you good?" "How's the family?"
"How's your little brother? How's your big brother?"
"How's your sister how's your mother how's your father how's everybody in the family?!"
But ain't nobody care about me
It seems I'm taking care of these ni**as, like they're my own family
But when it's me they forgot me
I'm another casualty, look
Real friends where was you now
Real friends where was you now

I see a life that's better than this, better than this, so I got hope Oh I got hope
I'm holding on rope that's thinner than thread, thinner than thread
But I look ahead, and that's just hope
Hope's up but I'm not too high
Smoked up but I'm not too high, smoked up but I'm not too high

You know what, forget it
I forgive y'all ni**as
This is it I forgive y'all I found peace in myself

Cuz we good no schmoke
To the family no schmoke
We good

I see a life that's better than this, better than this, Oh I got hope
I got hope
I see a life that's better than this, better than this, Oh I got hope
I got hope
