[Chorus 1: BW]
Be better
Do better
Think better
You've never been half the man I thought you were...
On first impression
Or second, third...
Be better at it
[Verse 1: BW]
I’m not enough
For people here or God above
“It's the season man, who you tryna cuff?”
And thinking that love is synonymous with
Mm, hey, I heard you're a rapper
Heard you on stage, you’re kinda dapper
There's a fun word you can put in a song, but apart from that I think that you're kinda average
Mm, hey, work on your image
You are not like the person I envisaged
You are not like all the stereotypes that I built in my head and I find that offensive
Huh, sit down with all of your friends
Count 'em on one hand, see who really cares
Count 'em, I wonder and do it again, in case something has changed since I went on the stage
Ha, sit down boy, back in your place
Ha, whose is the glory today?
Ha, who are you doing it for cause I guarantee you're not deserving of praise
Mm, I've been there on some other days, talking to me in a similar way
Talking to me? I'm bringing the hate
The partying scene is not where I was raised
[Chorus 1: BW]
Be better
Do better
Think better
You’ve never been half the man I thought you were...
On first impression
Or second, third...
Be better at it
[Chorus 2: BW]
Be better
Do better
Drink better
Yeah I said it
Attention that you’re craving for...
They never meant it
On second thought...
Be a better addict
[Verse 2: BW]
When you picked the candidate
Cropped on top, thinking it's inanimate
If the shoe fits, I’m having it
Never not mention the Prince that planted it
Ooh, quick, change the topic
What if they don't like religious content?
I should be writing a song for the people that they would have wanted, not tell 'em what God said
I'm losing attention
Improve and do better
But all of my friends are like
“You can still drink if you’re christian, that's stupid, forget it”
Addiction is new and I'm scared of
The things I might prove. Cause when I'm
Not in control I don't handle it well, I keep that to myself but I always get questioned:
"Make it more mainstream. Change your flow and the bass theme. It's not you we want, it's Travis Scott, like what you did in Make a Scene"
And you better make it better if you ever wanted love, make your music more presentable, the industry is tough
[Chorus 1: BW]
Be better
Do better
Think better
You've never been half the man I thought you were...
On first impression
Or second, third...
Be better at it
[Verse 3: Caleb Murphy]
I left my mask backstage (What)
I'm not cold like savage (Ice)
21 lies might make you famous but in the mirror you'll always be nameless
Great liars never lie (Facts)
Great actors never act (Facts)
You have to feel it inside your spirit or you'll be left hanging like somebody's puppet
There is no string attached to me
I laugh at your monopoly money
You sold your soul to a label. Guess what?
Now you'll never be able
To be free lyrically, like me
Can you see out of the bird box?
Take a look, I feel like Gary
I may have to physically force open your eyes to see that God is real
I am not mincing my words
I know there's too much at stake
I might just make another mistake, but I don't have time for these doubts
I'd rather be strong and be wrong than be right and be weak when I speak so go ahead:
Dissect my work take a seat
Take a look at this deadbeat
I call it an autopsy but you hate anyway
You think your Dr Dre but you are MIA
Tell me I could have done better
Criticise every letter
But I still have the time for you
By time I mean I knock you on the head with a clock until you
Get the truth inside your brain
You might think you've gone insane
Depression is like acid rain
But here's my antidote for pain:
If you live your life for others
You won't end it for yourself
But you still have to drive away the voices that always say
[Chorus 1: BW]
Be better
Do better
Think better
You've never been half the man I thought you were...
On first impression
Or second, third...
Be better at it
