BETTER DAY

"My Life Story" is the product of a collaboration between David's Harp Students Nathaniel, Horace and Adrian (producers) and Amariah (rapper). The lyrics were birthed out of a a tough situation Amariah was going through with her father which landed her at our partner, San Diego Youth Service's "Storefront Youth Shelter". While she was at the shelter, she focused on her music and studio sessions as way to release her frustrations. This song is their creation.

Instructor Song

LYRICS:
Doors closing Hope choking
On a deadly strand of 19
Every shelf is looking empty 
You got walls up - You walled up
Tryna keep out all the bad things
But you know it ain’t that easy
Feeling like you gonna shut down
And you feeling it a lot
Now that everything’s on lock down 
Gotta re-evaluate now
Maybe we forgot how
I know that it’s hard 
Walking in the dark
Social isolation make you 
Stay up on your guard 
Know you wanna go outside 
Just stay inside and face it
Only got one chance 
I ain’t gonna waste it

6t away from me 
won’t keep me away 
I ain’t trying to hurt no one 
Separation keep growing

6t away from me 
won’t keep me away 
I ain’t trying to hurt no one 
That ain’t gonna solve problems


I need to press in
They said to throw up them barriers
Dont you let ‘em in
They said you might be a carrier
For the weapon
But when i head to the island 
Lead to depression 
Everybody scared to die
Gotta wait in line 
Who wanna take away my spine 
Told me stay inside 
I cant take another day of the mention
How we cool with asian people gettin demonized
Cant keep me down
Gotta stay up
When greed get loud 
Gotta pray up
When fear make a sound
I face up 
I need you around 
Cant say enough 
Cant keep me down
Gotta stay up
When greed get loud 
Gotta pray up
When fear make a sound
I face up 
I need you around 
Cant say enough
