Better

They wanna see me fail
With every breath that I exhale, know that I'll excel
Just take a vote, pray to God that I'm close
Been doing mimosa toast through the highs and lows
But still I rhyme for your souls
Giving it all it takes cause I wanna ball like the Lakers
Colby the annihilator, do or die for the haters, suicide on my radar
Family want me strong, Im fighting, I'm on my own two feet
I planted and reap, you know you cannot compete, I'll be damaged if I get beat
Granted I might just be, the bandit that never sleep
The cameras flash on me, rip the bandage and what you'll see
That the man in mirror is me

I gotta do better, I gotta be better for you
I gotta do better for me, myself, the family too
I gotta do better, I gotta be better for you

All the pain and the burdens that I'm facing, purging in the basement
Sharpen my sword, drinking liquor just to drown out the noise
Painting pictures with these colors of void
Praying scriptures cause my mind is at war
Who gone help out the boy
Tryna shine like the star of the north
I'll pay the price, just to live this life, scars on my corpse, ain't scared to die but
I'm terrified of, the lies disguised in my voice, still I rise
Colby still kicking it, strumming on my instrument, playing with style
I can walk on land not water, I'll sink and then drown
Imma throw in my hands before I throw in the towel
Just to see my family proud

I know I gotta do better, I gotta be better for them
I gotta do better for me, myself, cause I am him
I gotta do better, I gotta be better

Cause limbs on my body still healing, I'm fighting civilians, vendettas
All on my mind, I'm falling behind, need cheddar
Combating my pain, with diamonds in chains
No better than the ones that was slain, I might Kurt Cobain, my head off
God I need change, cause life ain't the same, I'm tryna fight
Give me the game, Im writing my name, within the sky
Going to heights, where creatures with wings ain't never flew
Residue stains, it came from my veins, I'll parachute
Out of the plane, they say he insane, but this is Jack
Sit and relax, they fumbled the bag, now run it back
Want it in stacks, Ben franklin and grants, I'm dressed in black
Open attacks, they swinging they bats, right at my back
Hoping I crack, from all of the pressure, the stress I feel
Will I be healed, haven't you heard, depression kills
Deep in the field, blessing the earth, I meditate
Forever Im real, now watch me elevate

Zander
Yeah
I wanna see you win
Need you to know what it is before the story ends
It's true power when you go within
How can you give when it's so much that you been holding in, right?
Yeah
Just know I understand
Hand written with a pen but I can lend a hand
Close my eyes and thank God that I'm up again
Know it's the devil that I'm up against
But I can't let him get the upper hand
Things that I struggled with
Rain got me stumbling
Phased by my ways and the days I was crumbling
Came with some suffering
Brave and was stumbling
Pain and the shame and the blame
I was juggling
Hm, Yeah, Yeah
Pain and the shame and the blame
I was covering
Nah, this hit a little different man
Look
Feel like the darkest hour
Feel like the tallest tower
Climbing the Eiffel Tower
Taking the longest showers
Feel like a lonely flower
Feel like it's going sour
I never be a coward
Feel like I may devour
Feel like a Debbie Downer
Feel like I'm lacking power
We used to call it ours
Feel like I need to scour
I need a super power
I been awake for hours
Feel like I'm missing flowers
Zander and Mister Howard

They'll prolly never get it
Need you to really listen
I need to really visit
I gotta get it together
You gotta know the difference
You gotta know ya limits
I know I'm really slippin
I know gotta do better
Yeah
What started as monologue
Turned into a dialogue
Driving for a hour long
Knew that I could write my rights
But hoping I could right my wrongs
So tell me why you think I write these songs

Romans 8 and 28
Not ashamed to say that I made it to 28
Yeah they call me fam cause I can really relate
Never outta shape but would carry a lot of weight
Would carry a lot of
And I know you looking for peace
Looking in the mirror and staring at what you see
Tears from ya eyes is falling into the sink
You gotta know that you a lot stronger than what you think
A lot stronger than what you
