Joe - Better Days Lyrics






Ooh Child things are going to get easier
Ooh Child things it's get brighter

Better Days [x 4]
Keep your head up
Better Days [x 4]
Keep your head up

She grew up in Brooklyn the Eastside and fulton street
Never knew father
He got shot hustling
She stated acting much older
Her mother couldn't control her
Losing direction
Started sex'n-no protection

And now she's expecting
A life she wasn't ready for
She*s feeling rejected
And her futures unsure
And if you want
Run out there on your own
Don*t give up sunshine
There will be better days
(Keep your head up)
Gotta keep movin' on
To raise a child alone
Don*t give up sunshine
There will be better days
(Keep your head up)

Are you down with full time
On weekend stripping
So you met baller, but ain't down, but trick'n
Gonna have to put your kid through school
Guess you hit snotty love for you
And you know your wrong girl
You gotta believe

And now you're expecting
A life you wasn't ready for
You're feeling rejected
And her futures unsure
And if you want
Run out there on your own
Don*t give up sunshine
There will be better days
(Keep your head up)
Gotta keep movin' on
To raise a child alone
Don't give up sunshine
There will be better days
(Keep your head up)

    Joe is one of the most talented RnB musicians in the world yet he is so underrated: it pains me a lot. But he has achieved it all and will always be my favourite musician. Extraordinary talent because he writes, composed and sings all his songs.

    True because ”it can be stormy today but not everyday”

  24. T.... S....

    A true artist. His music is relaxing

    [Intro]
    Ooh child, things are going to get easier
    Ooh child, things will get brighter

    Better days, better days
    Better days, better days
    Keep your head up
    Better days, better days
    Better days, better days
    Keep your head up

    [Verse 1]
    She grew up in Brooklyn
    The Eastside and fulton street
    Never knew her father, he got shot hustling
    She started acting much older
    Her mother couldn't control her
    Losing direction, started sex'n, no protection

    [Chorus]
    And now she's expecting
    A life she wasn't ready for
    She's feeling rejected
    And her future's unsure
    And if you want
    Run out there on your own
    Don't give up sunshine
    There will be better days
    (Keep your head up)
    Gotta keep movin' on
    To raise a child alone
    Don't give up sunshine
    There will be better days
    (Keep your head up)

    [Verse 2]
    Are you down with full time
    On weekends stripping?
    So you met baller, but ain't down but trick'n
    Gonna have to put your kid through school
    Guess you hit snotty love for you
    And you know your wrong girl
    You gotta believe

    [Chorus]

    [Outro]
    It's gonna be alright
    You gotta keep your head up
    Think about it now
    (Keep your head up)
    To my young sisters, it's gonna be alright
    You gotta keep your head up
    Oh she's so young [?]

    And if you want
    Run out there on your own
    Don't give up sunshine
    There will be better days
    (Keep your head up)
    Gotta keep movin' on
    To raise a child alone
    Don't give up sunshine
    There will be better days
    (Keep your head up)
