[Verse 1]
Back in the day, it was all good vibes,
Chillin' with mom and pops, yeah, we thrived.
Pops was a king, mom's heart full of grace,
Every single moment, I can still retrace.
But time ain't kind, it tore us apart,
Pops passed on, left a hole in my heart.
Momma turned to pills, lost in her own pain,
Her struggle became my young life's chain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, (Ah)
Life ain't what it used to be (Oh)
Hey, hey, hey, (Uh)
Tryna keep momma free (Oh)
[Chorus]
Better days, better days, they seem so far away,
I'm raising momma now, tryna find a way.
Better days, better days, I pray for brighter skies,
Lost in her addiction, I'm the one who cries.
[Break]
[Verse 2]
Night after night, I hear her cry,
Tryna hold on, but I'm just a kid, why?
Momma's lost in shadows, can't find the light,
I'm the one who holds her through every fight.
Her pills are her prison, her mind's own cell,
I'm fighting for her freedom, tryna break the spell.
I'm too young for this burden, but I won't break,
Gotta keep pushing for momma's sake.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, (Ah)
Life ain't what it used to be (Oh)
Hey, hey, hey, (Uh)
Tryna keep momma free (Oh)
[Chorus]
Better days, better days, they seem so far away,
I'm raising momma now, tryna find a way.
Better days, better days, I pray for brighter skies,
Lost in her addiction, I'm the one who cries.

[Bridge]
Yo, it's a heavy load for a young soul,
Momma's in a spiral, I'm losing control.
But I gotta stay strong, gotta find that light,
For her sake, for mine, through the darkest night.
[Outro]
Better days, better days, just a dream away,
I'll keep fighting, momma, for that brighter day.
Better days, better days, I won't let you fall,
Together we'll rise, we'll conquer it all.
