Better Day (Ghetto Girl)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Like the seasons when they change Nothing ever stays the same Surrounded by pain and empty dreams [Chorus] 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) [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Like the seasons when they change Nothing ever stays the same Surrounded by pain and empty dreams [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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) [Chorus] (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 [Outro] 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
