to\nSo we argue and play fight, all day and night\nMakin' passionate love 'til the daylight\n\nPlus we about to get evicted, can't pay the rent\nGuess it's time to see who really is yo' friend\nTell

stayed faded\nAffiliated with gang bangers and still made it\n\nUp in the gym, mess with me, gotta mess with him\nStill dressin' like grown men when rollin'\nI went to dark, smokin' Newports, gamin' marks\nGot a place in my heart, homey stay smart\n\nLocked you up in the pen and gave you three to ten\nI send you letters with naked flicks of old friends\nHopin' you well, I know it's hell\nDoin' time in the cells, you need mail, when you in jail\n\nAnd me I'm doin' cool\nI settled down, had a family, workin' in night school\nEvery once in a while, I reminisce\nAnd wonder how we ever came to

and I'm amazed\n So many blessings while we stressin'\n Lookin' for them better days (For better days)\n\n Better days, better days\n Hey, better days\n (Oh, better days)\n Thinkin' 'bout better days\n (I'm looking for better)\n Better days, better days, better days\n Hey, better days (Oh, better days)\n Got me thinkin' 'bout better days\n\n Now me and you was real cool, hell on them square fools\n Since back in high school we was true, me and you\n Hardly parted or separated, we stay faded\n Affiliated with gang-bangers and still made it\n Up in the gym, mess with me, gotta mess with him\n Still dressin' like grown men, when rollin'\n Out in the dark, smokin' Newports, gamin' marks\n Gotta place in my heart, homie stay smart\n\n Locked you up in the pen and gave you three to ten\n I send you letters with naked flicks of old friends\n Hopin' you well, I know it's Hell\n Doin' time in the cell you need mail, when you in jail\n And me I'm doin' cool\n I settled down had a family, workin' and night school\n Every once in a while, I reminisce\n And wonder how we ever came to this\n I miss the better days\n\n Better days, better days\n Hey, better days\n Thinkin' 'bout better days\n Better days, better days, better days\n Hey, better days\n Got me thinkin' 'bout better days\n\n I send this one out\n To all the homeboys down in, uh, Clinton lockdown\n Rikers Island, all
