A Better Man Lyrics

This music thing has always been a part of me

As young as maybe even five years old

With my father and uncles

And aunts even

They all were part of making this mold

From piano to singing and songwriting

It's all part of the dream

And no matter what you think that you see now

It's not what it seems

The struggles that it takes to get there

All of the work that you got to put in

All of the sacrifices I had to make

The lifestyle I was living

Now I was real lucky the things I did then

I think if I had to I'd do it again

Because if it not been for those days

I wouldn't be here

Every other week I was at the pawn shop

Rent a center was my furniture spot

Slim Jim was my favorite food

One thing I can tell you

Made me a better man

Made me who I am

Made me a better man

Every other week I was at the pawn shop

Rent a center was my furniture spot

Slim Jim was my favorite food

One thing I can tell you

Made me a better man

Made me who I am

Made me a better man

Harry O had us at the Elks lodge

James T had us at strawberries

We opened for The Fat Boys

At something called Play Day

For radio station WRBD

We had our record playing on hot one hundred five

My man Freddie Cruz quiet storm through the night

We also played WEDR

But that only can get you so far

The struggles that it takes to get there

All of the work that you got to put in

All of the sacrifices I had to make

The lifestyle I was living

Now I was real lucky the things I did then

I think if I had to I'd do it again

Because if it not been for those days

I wouldn't be here

Every other week I was at the pawn shop

Rent a center was my furniture spot

Slim Jim was my favorite food

One thing I can tell you

Made me a better man

Made me who I am

Made me a better man

Every other week I was at the pawn shop

Rent a center was my furniture spot

Slim Jim was my favorite food

One thing I can tell you

Made me a better man

Made me who I am

Made me a better man
