Better Things (feat. Emory Anderson)

I got better things
I got better things on my mind
Can't have you wasting my time

So I hear you got better things
Oh you say you got better things
Well it seems you doing better than him
That's why I see you in better jeans
Girl you better sing
Always been fly without the wings
Don't need anyone pulling strings
Enjoying the finer things
Well that's how you move
When you a child of a King
Up and down
Round and round
Relationships
Yeah that's what they be like
You might lose some
But don't lose yourself girl
Choose yourself yeah
You got degree like
Write a letter
Count the cheddar
Knit a sweater
Get some friends and hang out together
It's whatever
A new day let's see what the weather brings
While your mind set on better things

I got better things on my mind
Protecting my time
Gonna focus on what's here for me
Sweeter things to dream about now
No, you can't come around
Cause I'm gonna do what's best for me

Better things on my mind
I got better things on my mind
You can't stand in the way of my grind
I got better things on my mind

I promised my momma I would never give up
Promised my daddy I would never let a
Man come between my heart and my dreams
My destiny
I promised my sister I'd keep my head up
Promised myself I would never let a
Man come between my heart and dreams
What's meant for me

I got better things on my mind (Better things on my mind)
Protecting my time
Gonna focus on what's here for me (Better things on my mind)
Got sweeter things to dream about now (Dream about now)
I'm not letting me down
I'm just gonna do what's best for me

Got better things on my mind
Protecting my time
Gonna focus on what's here for me (Better things on my mind)
Sweeter things to dream about now
I'm not letting me down
I'm just gonna do what's best for me

Better things on my mind (I got better things, better things)
I got better things on my mind (I got better things, better things)
You can't stand in the way of my grind (I got better things, better things)
I got better things on my mind (I got better things, better things)

Got to step my game up now
It's a level up and I'm about to break out
Of this box I helped you trap me in
It's a state of mind
And now I'm switching
Different

Got to take my life seriously
Even I woke up to realize I was sleeping on me
But the walls have started crumbling down
I'm loving myself
I'm embracing my crown

With these better things on my mind
Protecting my time
Gonna focus on what's here for me
Sweeter things to dream about now
No, you can't come around
Cause I'm gonna do what's best for me

Better things on my mind (I got better things, better things)
Protecting my time (I got better things, better things)
Gonna focus on what's here for me (I'm not going back)
Sweeter things to dream about now (I got better things, better things)
I'm not letting me down
I'm just gonna do what's best for me (I got better things, better things)

Better things on my mind (Got to step my game up now)
I got better things on my mind (It's a level up and I'm about to break out)
You can't stand in the way of my grind (Of this box I let you trap me in)
I got better things on my mind (It's a state of mind and now I'm switching, different)

Got to take my life seriously (I got better things, yeah)
Even I woke up to realize (I got better things)
I was sleeping on me (I got better things)
But the walls have started crumbling down
I'm loving myself
I'm embracing my crown
