Nigga, I was rehearsing in repetition the phrase
Only one in a million will ever see better days

from Kendrick Lamar – Black Boy Fly Lyrics on Rap Genius

He was feeling discouraged because it seemed impossible to get out of Compton. All of the signs showed that only “one in a million” ever made it, he kept thinking, I couldn’t be that one in a million?

This also references the Better Dayz track where 2 Pac speaks about reflecting on choices in life but never giving up.
