BETTER Lyrics

They wanna see me fail

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

Just take a vote and 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

I'm fighting, I'm on my own two feet

I planted and reaped

You know you can not 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 cause who the hell gone help me through

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

And 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

I'll start throwing 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, I'm 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 ball, now run it back

Want it in stacks, Ben Franklins and Grants, I'm dressed in black

Open attacks, they swinging their 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 I'm real, now watch me elevate

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
