Better Man
Sacrifices and my struggles made me who I am
Thank the man upstairs it made me to a better man
Made me a better man
Sacrifices and my struggles made me who I am
My mom raised five kids by herself
Kept us all in line with her hand and her belt
No food on the shelf, but never felt like I was starving
Promised I'd make it even if it put me in a coffin
Do this for my family, my sister's name is Ashley
On this road to success and no one is passing me
They used to laugh at me and say my dreams was unrealistic
But my consistence and persistence was the golden ticket
Out the hood, I understood that I could make it happen
Now I'm speeding to the top, I got my seatbelt fastened
Yo passion lacking, you don't want it bad you really acting
My reaction to my haters, they just got me laughing
Never asking for a chance Imma just go and take it
The smell of success keeps me going, I'm just tryna taste it
Everybody has a dream, but not all go and chase it
So they just let it die, another dream they done wasted
Sacrifices and my struggles made me who I am
Thank the man upstairs, it made me to a better man
Made me a better man
Sacrifices and my struggles made me who I am
Kinda glad God put me through all of dem tough times
Had ramen noodles for breakfast, dinner, and lunch time
But we made it work, every Sunday was in that church
Prayers go up, blessings come down, just know it really works
Used to search for a ticket to get us out the hood
People would laugh at me and tell me that I never could
But I just stood up for all my dreams, goals, and aspirations
Want my parents to be able to quit they occupation
Wanna pay for my kids' tuition, that's what I'm wishing
I'm on a mission to improve my family's state of living
I used to listen to my mother crying every night
And in my mind I'm thinking one day let me make it right
In a fight with my struggles and I can't lose this battle
Feel like I'm Jordan in game six so I can't be rattled
I'm breaking every tackle, I'm breaking all these shackles
They say that life is a bitch, but I think she's worth the hassle
The struggle
The struggle makes success sweeter
The struggle
The struggle makes success sweeter
The struggle
The struggle makes success sweeter
The struggle
The struggle makes success sweeter
Thank the man upstairs it made me to a better man
Made me a better man
Sacrifices and my struggles made me who I am
My mom raised five kids by herself
Kept us all in line with her hand and her belt
No food on the shelf, but never felt like I was starving
Promised I'd make it even if it put me in a coffin
Do this for my family, my sister's name is Ashley
On this road to success and no one is passing me
They used to laugh at me and say my dreams was unrealistic
But my consistence and persistence was the golden ticket

The struggle
The struggle makes success sweeter
The struggle
The struggle makes success sweeter
The struggle
The struggle makes success sweeter
