Better Me

Ayo cheers to the better me, smiling more deserving this
I'm earning shit getting better despite how worse it gets
Tax bracket changed late hours i'm extra working shifts
Rich is quiet so now I dress a bit more conservative

I'm smelling like success, spray one million on my neck
Momma just said she proud of me, I read it in a text
Headache pills on my dresser everyday a nigga stressed
But I fight through the pressure, make clean money through my mess uh

College dropout, school of hard knock graduate
That's why I'm good no matter how bad it gets
Before I put my life in motion I imagined this
Went through every passion chasing this being passionate

The people full of it, ain't gon ever know the half of it
And since I put myself first you'll never hear the last of it
When ya'll was done with me, God went and did this magic trick
Now i'm having more of everything for not having shit

Now this a green light so I don't get a day off
And I can't afford it if i'm getting what I prayed for
I'm looking different skinny nigga put some hate weight on
I'm getting happy so that's proly what they hate on

Mi'ree call me when he need help on his homework
And I still find time for him though I handle my own work
Even if he still don't understand it's okay
Cause he seeing how men 'posed to take care of their own first

I run this shit with all my heart like a pacemaker
So why complain and engage with the naysayers
With too much character flaws to be some game changers
They watch my life with opinions instead of chase paper

Me and Robbie stayed up all night, build a foundation
From belief in myself and emptying my savings
An example of action nigga like fuck the patience
If I never went for it, I'd be stuck out here complaining

And that would be draining, not how I would opt to live
Why study the negatives when you positive
I feel better you can tell it's obvious
The sun peaking through the blinds ya'll know what time it is

I'm more mature a better me is what you call that
So if I miss your call, know that i'mma call back
And if I did you wrong, i'll reach out and crawl back
Just make sure you catch a nigga when I fall flat
