IMA DO BETTER

Mmmmm
(Whatever)

Too many beats start out with piano
Always kinda reminds of Hamilton
Means the beat is basic, throwin' a fit
Getting tired of chords 4, 1, 5, 6
It is actually gross but it's nowhere near sick
Layin' waste to your musical intelligence
Keep playing these games? Y'all are better than this
Guess I'm gonna have to pick up a controller and win

All of these skills I acquired
From the blacksmith, out of the fire
I stopped believing those liars
That always told me I was always tired
Always on the phone, wired
Never, never looking up higher
My eyes had admired desires outside of the light on what

Jesus said, "Give us today our daily bread"
Not "Give us right now our instant problem solving checks"
Pray that, you about to get wrecked
Gotta check if God wanted it
Gotta let Him be a part of it
No I haven't been faithful at all
But now I'm promising

IMA DO BETTER
IMA DO BETTER
They say we too late
I say that's okay
See all of that hate?
They afraid that

IMA DO BETTER
IMA DO BETTER
Satan not today
God says take up faith
Constantly in prayer
Not afraid (ay)
IMA DO

Things that I would not imagine
How in the world could this happen
I look back and now I'm laughing
I'm laughing, I'm laughing

At the doubt of if there is a savior
At the lie I couldn't be greater
At my previous childish behavior
At my self evaluation as a failure (ha ha)
Thought it was time to meet my maker
Took the cross and all my heavy burdens lifted up
Be like the Son of Man in His love
In there I will remain and that's enough

That's enough
Count one and two and three and four and
Five fingers one hand I raise it
I'll be the one out to praise Him
Yea, yea, look

IMA DO BETTER
IMA DO BETTER
They say we too late
I say that's okay
See all of that hate?
They afraid that
IMA DO BETTER
IMA DO BETTER
Satan not today
God says take up faith
Constantly in prayer
Not afraid (ay)
IMA DO BETTER

There's one thing that can compromise my personal promise
If doing better means worldly success then I've lost it
I'll lay my life down to Jesus even on the worst days
Even if the heartbreak happens just before my birthday
Hurt doesn't matter when I know I have victory
In the Endgame now, my previous trilogies are history
Why progress isn't linear in this life is a mystery
And can get confusing as my inner critic tries to fix me

Whatcha gonna do Nate?
Whatcha gonna do when all that loved you have left you?
Who you gonna be Nate?
Who you gonna be when all that befriend you regret to?
Where's your improvement
That you're so bent on displaying in your life
And you know what's ironic about that line
I can not even hear it in your music
How's this?

Everybody tryna find a way to get an answer
To a life they think that matters and it eats 'em like a cancer
So they tryna find it faster while they runnin' from the master
But the heart is what He's after so I gave it to Him now I'm really
Killin' it with every minute I put into winnin' it
No chllin', no quittin', no sittin around I'm sick of it
I'm kinda ill-equipped but ima stab you with a stick
Again and again and again
It was a pencil end quotation mark my words

Ima try things unheard
Failures and things to learn
Fire inside let burn
(Yea) Ima give it all I got just as it is all for God
Promise kept? Yes it's true
You can bet
Ima do better
Ima do better
