Better Me
(Instrumental)
[Verse]
I was born upon a mellow road
With stick and stones that broke my bones
And greener things as heaven springs
The city lights highlights the dreams
The wooden cabin sits alone
The wind will blow a different tone
The life we made was set in stone
It's time to move, a newer home
Raised to work in cubicles
But I was made more beautiful
If life is what I really seek
Then make your fuckin pockets leak
So I became a stunna
I would sell shit every summer
Momma said don’t let yourself deplete
Bro fuck my life, my boys gon eat
Pretty soon sellin was making no bank
Momma was tired of me taking this drank
If I didn't work then I'm outta her home
Lived by my rules so I stepped out alone
Thought I was cool but really I’m fucked
Whatever I had just ran outta luck
And now Im just walkin, cig in my hand
Wondering how this damn bullshit began
Priorities stuck inna bottomless pit
Stuck in a trailer just trapping for quick
Fucking my life up in hell I will sit
Came back to home and I told her I'll quit
Lied to her face in hopes it'll work
Luck is my hoe so I stood with a smirk
When she let me in I searched for a job
Then quit and then huffed a whole motherfuckin bar
Then I ODed and I couldn't feel shit
I woke up sweat and realized this is it
Am I gonna die with the mind of a jit?
But I had survived and decided I'll quit
Got up my ass and I worked for the low
Made a few friends that hate doing snow
And now I can say that I been doin better
Then I've ever been no changing the weather
Came a lil ways from that old micro hat
Had nothing to lose I got bricks on my back
Can't say too much cuz the dumb talking smack
And the wise watch it all while making a stack
Learned a damn lot from the cards I was dealt
Went from a druggie to loving myself
This ain't yet the end for me
I’ll always be searching for the better me
[Chorus]
Walking through hell for the better me
Traveling through the whole seven seas
No use in making them enemies
They’ll just become my memories
Oh I know. Oh I know
Walking through hell for the better me
Traveling through the whole seven seas
My mind still stuck in disparity
But I'm putting that shit inna melody
Oh I know. Oh I know
I know
