BETTER ALONE Lyrics

You always said you want that perfect someone

Tell me where you're going, don't care what you come from

You must be flawless then, nothing left undone

Always overdue, that leaves us at a conundrum

What I'm talking about, I'm saying no one's perfect

Jesus, way I live my life, you'd think I was hurting

I just do my best to get by

Nothing too crazy

Stay on the safe side

But this world full of Instagram posts

Taking pictures of food, what can my man boast

And in that competition, no, I don't come close

Rather make my money, so I can stay home

Take care of my dogs, and pay my bills

Is it not enough to have a house in the hills?

Go after something that was worth more

A life of contentment, live on the third floor

You tell me, "That's boring"

I'll tell you, "True story"

But I live within my means, so I don't go broke

If that life was meant for me, it'd be just a joke

No in between

And not to frown on your goals, I'm just saying how I feel

I'd throw my old life away, if I ever got that deal

So maybe it's best that I gave up

So, I'm not selling myself without the same touch

You asked how I was doing, said I'm better alone

It's better you take off, or take off your clothes

You fell asleep on me, I stayed by the phone

You told me you couldn't wait, I waited too long

You wanted things I would never give you

Even if I could, still, I wouldn't get you

You always wanted me to take some time off

But it's my time now, I ain't playing it off

I always had trouble taking advice from people

Talk down to you, never see you as their equal

They don't know that alone

I'm strong as diesel

They don't know that when I'm alone

My thoughts are lethal

People got me down, but I couldn't stay depressed

I was well dressed, when I should have stayed in bed

But life is good, couldn't get fed up

Sometimes it rains, but don't get wet up

Keep that head up, baby, never let up

When they told me slow down

It was time I sped up

Life is full of hurdles, so I got a leg up

They said I'd never keep up

Well, now you're dead, what?

Never had trouble taking care of myself

But God needs a little help for you to stay blessed

I had a problem with you putting my love on the shelf

Don't know what you mean, so you should say it with your chest

Little ass bitch, little ass hoe

You don't know where I stay, but you live down the road

Little ass bitch, always on your phone

I don't got a lot of weed, but I'm always down to roll

That's cause of my premonitions

Don't doubt your next move based on past decisions

Yeah, I'm a dick, but I'm bad with women

Don't know what you want from me

But your ass can get it

You asked how I was doing, said I'm better alone

It's better you take off, or take off your clothes

You fell asleep on me, I stayed by the phone

You told me you couldn't wait, I waited too long

You wanted things I would never give you

Even if I could, still, I wouldn't get you

You always wanted me to take some time off

But it's my time now, I ain't playing it off
