I know this ain't life man
I know I ain't here just for this man
There's gotta be a better way man
There's gotta be
Scene one, mother looks into a newborn's eyes
While thanking God for the gift of spirit, hiss as she cries
While on the other side, another mother is crying
She just watched the life she brought in the world painfully dying
While the other mother holds her baby close to her breast
Other mother question God cause she coping with death
Heart heavy, soul hollow, hope came and then left
A woman once filled with joy screams, "They killed my boy!"
Something that the other mother hopes to avoid
Living with a sense of loneliness, she filling a void
A brand new baby boy, what a beautiful thing
Mama's only 17, didn't consider her dreams
Her pops got popped and her moms was a fiend
No unity inside her family, amongst other things
While the other mother dropped to her knees and screamed
With her face to the sky as she asked God why, but I know...
We gonna make it out one day
There's gotta be a better way
Don't understand the pain I feel
For my heart to heal, this life so real
We gonna make it out one day
There's gotta be a better way
Don't understand the pain I feel
For my heart to heal, this life so real
Kid's home crying, the baby need Pampers
Mom's steady crying, stomach ache cause she famished
Gotta change smoke even though she know it's cancerous
That's life and it's half of her, she living for the day
You can count her stresses from her hair full of grays
Her heart aching, hand shaking as she wipe her tears away
Dear God, as she pray, provide a meal a day
Lord my baby bottle empty, if you can fill it half way
Life's real, mother's struggling, kid's suffering
A lot of fathers in jail, they handcuffed them
For intent to sell a white substance
To provide a meal for his wife and her sucklings
His intentions was good but still some will judge him
