I've been trying a long, long time still I didn't make it
Everything I try to do seems to go wrong
It seems I have done something wrong
But they're trying to keep me down
Who God bless, no one curse
Thank God I'm not the worst
Better must come one day
Better must come, they can't conquer me
Better must come, yeah
I've been trying a long, long time
But I can't make it
No one to give me a helping hand
They only tryin' to keeps me down
Who God bless, no one curse
Thank God I'm not the worst
Oh, my people get a seat
They're trying to take advantage of me
Better must come, better must come, yeah
Better must come one day
Better must come, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been trying a long, long time still I can't make it
