Better Than Me Lyrics

Yeah

Back in the City shit

Outro to the tape

Out here in Byrd crib

Yeah

Look

I feel like I been givin you way more than what I been gettin

Feel like you been missin me way more than what I been missin

I feel like when I had it, it was practice, I failed the mission

Feelin like an addict when I'm at it but failed to mention

We come from the same place she tell me its ski when I'm trippin

All across the globe shawty thick but she skinny when dippin

Learning lots about you when we argue, I'm optin to zip it

Talkin when we heated just to lead to a fiery finish

It's hard to extinguish

Tryna get you to talk is like teaching animals english

Cause you can

Mcht

I know you comprehend, but won't respond

But thats alright because I know your body language says it all

I listen to yo flaws

I click on private calls

But you only listen if you get attention in a song

So I give you what you want

And then I hear the phone but I already told you what I like to do to private calls

And its crazy cause my ex ain't even feelin like my ex yet

We split and then we met but shit

We ain't had sex since

She hit me for the bread, I try to flex and tell her next check

But I know Imma send it, I just make her wait a minute for it

Like

Ain't no need in fronting

Its enough to go around

Its just crazy like

I said its crazy cause my ex ain't even feelin like my ex yet

We split and then we met but shit

We ain't had sex since

Maybe its for the best, I mean we still'll send a text

I mean the spark is kinda there but when it's not its just a text

And I miss her and I hope she know its not just for the sex

Its the little things I know I won't be getting from the next

Like maybe the neck is better or maybe her pussy wetter

But is she gone do the things that I need her to when I get her

The title we had was cool, but a nigga needed the spinner

I know its hurt to hear that I'm givin wood like a splinter but shit

To be honest, I'll prolly feel the same way

I'm lyin if I say I can stomach it wit a straight face

But

Girl we grown so I guess we gotta grow up

You bound to lose the things you love if you don't show up

But I know what you deserve, and thats better than me

So I don't want you waitin round just to settle wit me

Shit

Better than me

I said I know what you deserve, and thats better than me

Its better niggas on this earth, its prolly better to leave

Cause Ion want you waitin round just to settle with me

Shit

Yeah

And its gonna hurt to see you go but

Shit

When you comfortable you never grow so

Yeah

BANMFAM, Bull City shit

Back in the City shit

Yeah

Since you don't know how to answer the phone anymore

Imma just let you be

It's cool

Anyways, I hope you're okay at least

I haven't heard from you in weeks

I don't even know if you're back in the city

But I do still want to see you so

Call me, text me, something so at least I know you're okay

I'll talk to you eventually I guess

Love you

Bye

So that's the last one?

Yeah, nah

I um

Nah pull up that uhh

I got one more

Michelle, close the door

Yeah

I got one more it's

It's for my niggas

Nah just, I won't even sposed to be recording this shit today

Just a lot I had to say, so

Nah it's not even for me

It's just, it's for my niggas man

So if you ain't from the city

If you ain't ever lost nobody

If you ain't one of my niggas and you don't feel this

I understand if you skip it but

Hey Ahmon look

You run into her father please tell him she really miss em

Been missin since the kid was a jit

Still in her system

We watch the movie called reminisce

She reminiscing

I know she miss the days she would sit on his lap and kiss em

The memories are so far from distant they keep her snifflin

I wipe a tear or so and then tell her she so persistent

These waves of happiness keep on comin, they inconsistent

She wanna to give me her all but I know she's feeling resistance

But me I know the difference in happiness and dependence

Like do you love for what can be given to you for instance

A chain, a diamond ring, or some flowers even attendance

We bottle our feelings until they burst, like an appendix

If this the ending then what a finish I get for penning

The ice I rock's a rock, and I copped the shit for the pendant

She hate it when I get that attention from other women

But she hate it even more when I turn around and I give it

And shit I mean I get it its givin that we committed

We fall in love with eachother but scared to even admit it, shit

Yo momma swear to God that she knew that shit from beginning

We holdin our hands and sinnin, forgive us

For trespassing we do amongst eachother

Forgive us for all the sinning we bring upon one another

My brother

I forgive em, he prolly needed it more than me

It hurts to know he felt he couldn't ask me for it cordially

But

Shit its life

The tension in the air, you could cut the shit wit a knife

Cuttin you off is easy I'll do the shit overnight

I make sure when I sever the ties that its precise

Tanjiro wit the slice, when I do it, I'm still nice

Shit, too nice in fact

I take the L and overthink like "why you do me like that ?"

Too many chances

The paper, I'm gettin plenty advances

That money gone come and go don't get caught up in that entrapment

Cause first you got all your taxes

People you payin backwards

And phonies you see on tv

And posers you see as rappers but look

Enough of that

I tend to go off on tangents

I wish I could buy you tickets to take a trip where yo dad is but

Shit wherever I'm sure that the place is better than where we currently live

I just wonder bout where it is cause shit

Man if heaven is really what reverends say it is, "paradise"

Then wouldn't it be very nice to call or send a text?

Shit, niggas could even call collect

Just to hear that voice again is easily worth a check

Just to greet em

Unfortunately I'll never get to meet em

I gotta learn all about em through teachings while easing grieving and that's

That's why I try to never complain

Or ever come off ungrateful by having both of my parents and feeling like we unstable

I mean, she say she get it nobody really deserves it

And then we discuss for hours how families are never perfect

We questioning the shit that we doin and if its worth it

We questioning the time that we spending like "whats the purpose?"

We focused on the place that we endin and not the journey

But taking eyes off the prize is the quickest way to return it

I can tell that she's yearning

Closed off by default, but communication, she's learnin

I tell her to take a breath

Everyday is a step

And every step is a victory stomping the head of misery and

Will I make it? Man thats the question of mystery

This place been crazy lately, I know we weary of memories

I just hope you remember me

And if you miss somebody, man tell em swallow ya pride

And if you love somebody, then tell em like all the time

And if somebody's helping you tell em you preciate it

Nothing really feels better than feeling appreciated

And check in on the people that's always checking on you

Cause you never truly know what a nigga be goin through

Cause pain really kills

Last saturday I'm drivin, and took my hand off the wheel, its true

But shit

Y'all ain't gotta worry it's cool

Michelle called me, and we talked, she got me back to the room

And when I got there I knew it was you

I never met em, but tell yo daddy I'm thankful that a nigga made you

Cause see that nigga saved my life and I hope you told em I'm grateful

But if you didn't its cool

I know you got alot to say to em so

Shit

Like I said man

City been kinda crazy lately

Alot of niggas that we love been

Gone too soon

One of my niggas been goin through it

And I can tell, I see that shit everyday that shit is killing em

So I wrote this verse for em

Look

Hey Ahmon look

You hear TaRon when talkin to God, try not to hobble

I know his faith in modernized churches has start to wobble

His grievances, his thoughts and his doubts is startin to squabble

He tell me that he good but in back of my mind I doubt em

I'm knowin that the stages of grief are unforgiving

And I know that depression's a session not meant for winning

And I'm not sayin its gotten that far, but I know its possible

The strength that he be showin on social media's plausible

Exhaustible too

But he knows he's only as strong as his faith thats in you

I know its plenty

And see thats the type of faith that I envy

I wanna give it to God and know everything's right within me

But shit

Shit for now, I'll just keep on writing these verses

That we know is worth a grammy, but knowing we'll never earn it its cool

Is the only point of working for results?

Think of all the shit you been through, the journey you took was true

From everything that you needed, to every demon defeated

Like every time you would fall, you would stand back up on yo feet like "lets go"

All my niggas believing in me to blow

So trust I put all my faith in all my niggas fasho

Back in the city

Yeah

And if you from the city man

Then you know

Shit, RIP

S/o Kurt, Isis, Ron, Bir

All my niggas in the city man

This goes out to everybody whoever lost somebody on some

Some shit that they ain't deserve

Yeah

BANMFAM, Bull City shit

Back in the City shit

Yeah

See you on the other side my nigga
