Life is filled with gray
But now he comes to me
Please fall away
Hip hop is playing again
And it's bangin' too
Gonna bang for you
Don't stop this feeling I feel
I just wanna run out all day for you
And breathe for you at least
I'm so into your rich history
Tell me a story and take me away
C'mon and take me ooh
C'mon and take me with you

Life is, better
Now that, now that I've found you
Life is, better
Now that, now that I've found you
Life is, better
Now that, now that I've found you
Life is, better
Now that, now that I've found you
Life is, better
Now that, now that I've found you
Life is, better
Now that, now that I've found you
Life is, better
Now that, now that I've found you
Life is, better
Now that, now that I've found you

One step at a time, a man walked on the moon
One record got played Kool Herc said boom
One minute young man, your time come soon
We waiting, it was prophesied you loom
We bang our drums, message in our sound
We rastlers and we takin' up in your town
Hands set in

And when you look into my eyes,
It makes all these feelings rise
Makes for space a better place,
Cant you see you're in my face?
