Nothing Better

I couldn't think of nothing
I couldn't
Look

Pen been covered here in molasses
Slow to writing but quick to action
Slow to think when you pushing me to the brink
I lose myself then I wonder what could I keep
What did I gain when I was counting on these sheep
How ironic, all I tend to lose is sleep
I put a pause here on my dreams to sit here be awake
Giving pieces of my rib, I should have known what was at stake
Niggas laughing at my dreams because of money I ain't make
Scratch the disc
That just means I ain't bout to sit n play
Got a job to try to eat until I found out that prey
Is usually just chewing on that green like every day
My mistake
I was trynna be the best, and if not I just hope I make a case
Made some music you could play
Made a song that you could share
Taught you how to keep on fighting when the world just isn't fair
Taught you how to stand strong when your support just isn't there
Crutches make your walk so impossible to bare
Sometimes taking flight
Is gon start off with the stairs
I shared my problems
You want em and then you got em
I'm building my foundation,
My house is so unaccomplished
Its crazy cause, failure and God is like my accomplice
He telling me to keep digging, to focus on building mountains
No reason why
I sit and apply
For 150 jobs and cant get a reply
Over qualified but keep getting denied
Maybe that's God, protecting from nine to five
He want me to sit and rhyme
And nigga, Man so do I
I can't give him any passes when I cant go make a dime
I couldn't sell out my room
Man ain't no reason I should lie
So tell me why I still feel like I'm that guy
I got this fire that's within me
Trynna shine it on my city
Sing my words and sing back, That let me know that y'all could feel me
When a nigga know my lyrics, I could feel it in my spirit
Can't believe that you would listen so much that you remember
Can't forget the 100 dollars that I earned for three winters
Wood grain on the dash would fuck around and give you splinters
I be looking up to God like
How much more could you take from a nigga
I'm giving all I got until it ain't more nigga
He telling me to have a little faith lil nigga
I'm like
How much much longer can I wait though nigga
But if the future holds nothing but some sold out stadiums
Hour sing alongs
I'm thanking God for His cranium
Cuz everyday was worth it
Just to make this picture perfect
And to know that it was given
But on top of that I earned it?

I couldn't think of nothing better
I couldn't think of nothing better
I couldn't think of nothing better
Better
Better
Better
