BETTER Lyrics

As I sit in this clinic, I'm thinking bout my life

Know it's hard to admit it but shit I'm living trife

Just got burned by this chick that I had to give the pipe

Ironically it hurts when I piss, plumbing isn't right

In seven days I'll be better, just gotta take this pill

Ain't wanna be in this room, I'm tryna shake the feel

Teenage girls clutching wombs, I bet the pain is real

I know I'd hate to be in their shoes, it gives me chills

I know I gotta do better, I'm way too focused on pleasure

Whatever I always choose, it leads to pain

Stay acting like your boy got forever to finish all these endeavors

Lately, I'm tethered to sin, I'm tryna change

Say I love you, but I love everything that you hate

I constantly break your heart and brush it off as mistakes

Choose my ways over yours, throw it right in your face

I'm more concerned with myself than your love and your grace

Lord, why I always choose my flesh

Look up, it could be worse, you

Messed up and I know you're hurt

You're looking round for answers and you're unsure

But your struggles don't define your worth

Get up and try to do better

Try to do better

Try and do better

It's another fresh start today

I know that I'm flawed

I don't understand what I do, what I wanna do I don't do

Eat vomit like dog

It make no sense to love what make me sick, but yo I can't seem quit

Or get control of me

Even for soul of me, damnit this got a hold of me, heavy load that I'm shouldering

Burden bigger than boulders be, this can't be life

And even though it feels good I know this can't be right

I been running up the debt as if I can't see price

I know I'm mistaken, my values are vacant

I mean I look at the nation repeating cycles that all lead to abuse

I been looking in the mirror tryna clean up the view

Taking time for self reflection, I don't need an excuse

Can't have my character in question imma lean into truth

Yo it's life over death I guess its easy to choose

More denying of the flesh is what I'm needing to do to do better

Look up, it could be worse, you

Messed up and I know you're hurt

You're looking round for answers and you're unsure

But your struggles don't define your worth

Get up and try to do better

Try to do better

Try and do better

It's another fresh start today

What up, Hundo?

What's good brotha?

Chillin' brotha, in the bed

Man, I need you, um, I need some counsel

Okay

When I say the words "but the flesh is weak," what do you think of

But the flesh is weak

That, oh its funny, when I used to hear that term I used to automatically think of lusting after women

Cause that's usually what I would hear, especially in the church

Like, ooh, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak

Cause that's what dudes would say when they see a fine chick or something

Maybe I can lust after her or something

But now, theologically speaking, what I say is that, because the spirit is willing, meaning

God's spirit is within you, trying to guide and lead you

But you want to yield to your flesh for some reason

Why, what are you trying to say
