Better ft. Jacolby Michael Lyrics

They wanna see me fail

With every breath that I exhale, know that I'll excel

Just take a vote, pray to God that I'm close

Been doing mimosa toast through the highs and lows

But still I rhyme for your souls

Giving it all it takes cause I wanna ball like the Lakers

Colby the annihilator, do or die for the haters, suicide on my radar

Family want me strong, Im fighting, I'm on my own two feet

I planted and reap, you know you cannot compete, I'll be damaged if I get beat

Granted I might just be, the bandit that never sleep

The cameras flash on me, rip the bandage and what you'll see

That the man in mirror is me

I gotta do better, I gotta be better for you

I gotta do better for me, myself, the family too

I gotta do better, I gotta be better for you

All the pain and the burdens that I'm facing, purging in the basement

Sharpen my sword, drinking liquor just to drown out the noise

Painting pictures with these colors of void

Praying scriptures cause my mind is at war

Who gone help out the boy

Tryna shine like the star of the north

I'll pay the price, just to live this life, scars on my corpse, ain't scared to die but

I'm terrified of, the lies disguised in my voice, still I rise

Colby still kicking it, strumming on my instrument, playing with style

I can walk on land not water, I'll sink and then drown

Imma throw in my hands before I throw in the towel

Just to see my family proud

I know I gotta do better, I gotta be better for them

I gotta do better for me, myself, cause I am him

I gotta do better, I gotta be better

Cause limbs on my body still healing, I'm fighting civilians, vendettas

All on my mind, I'm falling behind, need cheddar

Combating my pain, with diamonds in chains

No better than the ones that was slain, I might Kurt Cobain, my head off

God I need change, cause life ain't the same, I'm tryna fight

Give me the game, Im writing my name, within the sky

Going to heights, where creatures with wings ain't never flew

Residue stains, it came from my veins, I'll parachute

Out of the plane, they say he insane, but this is Jack

Sit and relax, they fumbled the bag, now run it back

Want it in stacks, Ben franklin and grants, I'm dressed in black

Open attacks, they swinging they bats, right at my back

Hoping I crack, from all of the pressure, the stress I feel

Will I be healed, haven't you heard, depression kills

Deep in the field, blessing the earth, I meditate

Forever Im real, now watch me elevate

Zander

Yeah

I wanna see you win

Need you to know what it is before the story ends

It's true power when you go within

How can you give when it's so much that you been holding in, right

Yeah

Just know I understand

Hand written with a pen but I can lend a hand

Close my eyes and thank God that I'm up again

Know it's the devil that I'm up against

But I can't let him get the upper hand

Things that I struggled with

Rain got me stumbling

Phased by my ways and the days I was crumbling

Came with some suffering

Brave and was stumbling

Pain and the shame and the blame

I was juggling

Hm, Yeah, Yeah

Pain and the shame and the blame

I was covering

Nah, this hit a little different man

Look

Feel like the darkest hour

Feel like the tallest tower

Climbing the Eiffel Tower

Taking the longest showers

Feel like a lonely flower

Feel like it's going sour

I never be a coward

Feel like I may devour

Feel like a Debbie Downer

Feel like I'm lacking power

We used to call it ours

Feel like I need to scour

I need a super power

I been awake for hours

Feel like I'm missing flowers

Zander and Mister Howard

They'll prolly never get it

Need you to really listen

I need to really visit

I gotta get it together

You gotta know the difference

You gotta know ya limits

I know I'm really slippin

I know gotta do better

Yeah

What started as monologue

Turned into a dialogue

Driving for a hour long

Knew that I could write my rights

But hoping I could right my wrongs

So tell me why you think I write these songs

Romans Eight and Twenty Eight

Not ashamed to say that I made it to Twenty Eight

Yeah they call me fam cause I can really relate

Never outta shape but would carry a lot of weight

Would carry a lot of

And I know you looking for peace

Looking in the mirror and staring at what you see

Tears from ya eyes is falling into the sink

You gotta know that you a lot stronger than what you think

A lot stronger than what you

Romans Eight and Twenty Eight

Not ashamed to say that I made it to Twenty Eight

Yeah they call me fam cause I can really relate

Never outta shape but would carry a lot of weight

Would carry a lot of

And I know you looking for peace

Looking in the mirror and staring at what you see

Tears from ya eyes is falling into the sink

You gotta know that you a lot stronger than what you think

A lot stronger than what you

Yeah

A lot stronger than what you

You gotta know you a lot stronger than what you think

Yeah

A lot stronger than what you

You gotta know you a lot stronger than what you think

Better, better, better, better

Better, better

I gotta do better, better, better, better

Better, better
