Jelly Roll Better Man Than I Was Lyrics

Lord, it's just one of them days
Take a moment to stop
I hit my knees and I pray, and I say
Thank you for the blessings Lord
Thank you for the love
Thank you for making me a better man than I was

It's one of them days, Lord
It's just one of them days
Take a moment and I stop
Hit my knees and I pray, and I say
Thank you for the blessings Lord
Thank you for the love
Thank you for making me a better man than I was

Let the storm go, let the rain pour
And let us not forget the reason we came for
Family over everything, faith over everything
Change is the only thing that'll never change
Riding and reflecting, lost my direction
The mirror, I don't recognize my reflection
The man that I am and the man that I was
The man that I was, was a man with the blood

But the man that I am is a man with a kid
And a family that depends, homie, to get it in
Lord, really I'll just trying to make a better life
But I second guess myself, I feel like I'm never right
I guess I just keep learning
I did it by myself, but it was all part of a journey
I thank you for my team and thank you for the faith
I thank you for everything, and this one of them days

Lord, it's just one of them days
Take a moment to stop
I hit my knees and I pray, and I say
Thank you for the blessings Lord
Thank you for the love
Thank you for making me a better man that I was

This one of them days, Lord
It's just one of them days
Take a moment and I stop
Hit my knees and I pray, and I say
Thank you for the blessings Lord
Thank you for the love
Thank you for making me a better man that I was

To tell the truth, I've been hated before
To the point, that I couldn't even take anymore
Then, I think about my life, I guess it isn't so bad
I need not reflect on the things I don't have
But the things I don't have, they always keep me stressed
Maybe I should sit back and count my blessings
So many times, I wanna stop and rewind
Prayers paused, and live my life inside a moment on time

Put it all on the line, wear my heart on the sleeve
I feel like there ain't a rapper going harder than me
So I'm right, never burst to get out of this place
Meanwhile, I only dream while I'm away
Well, I'm riding in this old school, listening to the oldies
Spent years in the wilderness, I'm feeling like Moses
To say the least, my life hasn't been roses
But somehow I always kept my composure

It's oh, Lord, it's just one of them days
Take a moment to stop
I hit my knees and I pray, and I say
Thank you for the blessings Lord
Thank you for the love
Thank you for making me a better man that I was

It's one of them days, Lord
It's just one of them days
Take a moment and I stop
Hit my knees and I pray, and I say
Thank you for the blessings Lord
Thank you for the love
Thank you for making me a better man that I was
