[Verse]
You ever thought you weren't good enough?
Man I'm rapping and they'll say I'm not hood enough
But I'll be the pillar of a generation soon enough
Ever feel like you're not in your neck of the woods enough?
I'm asking all these questions but I don't have all the answers
Even though I thought I did, been like that since I was a kid
Cartoons before school, sometimes breakfast in bed
Life was easier then, that's all I would've said
Like Sinatra, I just do things my way
Life's speeding 125 on a 90 mile highway
We're gonna have to reroute and find ourselves a byway
One look at my chain and welcome to the ice age
That last line was cocky
Long road ahead you know things are rocky
You were praying on my downfall
Now go ahead and block me
[Chorus]
Ooh, we can make it better
Ooh, it could be better (and I'm like)
Ooh, we can make it better
Ooh, it could be better (and I'm like)
[Verse]
You ever thought you couldn't think of anything?
It could be better (it could be better)
Like man, I can't achieve any dream
It could be better (it could be better)
Or tried out for everything and didn't make any team?
It could be better (it could be better)
You're at your lowest point at least that's what it seems
It could be better (it could be better)
[Refrain]
It could be better (it could be better)
It could be better (it could be better)
It could be better (it could be better)
It could be better (it could be better)
[Outro]
Better times
Seen through better eyes
When I could really distinguish the truth from the lies
