Better Than Lyrics

They throwin' salt on my name, I feel like a slug

Take a glance in that mirror, ask myself who I was

Yes I'm little like that engine, so I know that I could

Remember usin' pots and pans just to fill up that tub

The day my dad's brother died, I had to reach for a hug

Then I cried like a baby, I ain't gon' lie, it was tough

Lookin' back at all the times that we spent, I was loved

I was stuck, sittin' in that chair, hands stuck, head down

Tears fallin' down, I had to cuss, but what's worse

I was in that room, they pulled her plug, it was crazy

Doctors walkin' in like she done, yeah, it's weird

Right before she died, we sung her song, can't forget

How sad , you made us all, I was young, I got my last

See you laters in, I felt numb, I was tossing

And turning in my sleep, I was sprung, off the love

You shared everybody one and one

Now I'm thinking, every single second of my life, I feel dumb

For takin' life for granted, I can't thank you God enough

Talkin' to my child like she older, I feel dumb

Growin' up too fast, I was scared when you was born

Ten zero three, two zero two one

I was just so proud just to hold you in my arms

Starin' at her momma like you got it, you the one

So much I can say about these two, but let's

I came a long way from cleanin' dirt up out them tubs

And pickin' every single last crumb off them rugs

Jumpin' off of buildings , we was young, we was dumb

But that's when it was fun, no money in my pocket

In that store, but I got gum, I got tired of stealin

I did labor in that sun, doin' all these jobs

I was barely gettin' funds, like a flash-bang

I got everybody stunned, don't care about approval

I got hands, they got thumbs, express how I'm feelin

Get this cat off my tongue, never been a punk

I'm not scared to throw no punch, I don't even smoke

But I always keep it blunt, always keep a gun

By my side like I hunt, even in that back

Of that line, I won't front, know you got my back

But I need you in that front, gotta keep that ball

In my hand, I can't punt, been through some bumps

But I'm tryna clean it up, as time pass

Now I'm startin' to notice this ain't luck

Open up my eyes, man, I'm better than this stuff

Open up my eyes, man, I'm better than this stuff

I'm better than all this stuff, I'm better than all

This stuff, I'm better than myself, I'm better than

All this stuff, I'm better than, I'm better than

I'm better than my, say yeah, yeah, yeah
