Abstract - Better Man lyrics

Let me out, yeah
Let me out, yeah
Let me out, yeah

Can you elaborate on a
Personal connection to love?

These sober nights
When we dim down the lights
You and I made a home
Know you changed my whole life
Threw a match to my plans
Put your heart in my hands
And when I gave mine to you
You turned me into a better man

With you I know I can take it anywhere
I can't stand your beauty
Pullin' up a chair
Let me stack this money then we outta here
Europe for the summer, I could take you there
Spend my time on you
But you know time is money
I do this for you no
They can't take it from me
I do this for the crew
That's my brothers overseas
For my sister, mother, father
To my family in the East
No, I see these rappers lost
Everybody sound the same
No, y'all ain't ever leadin' 'less
It's leadin' us astray
I stopped drinkin', started thinkin'
Gotta be a better way
Speakin' through the universe with
Everything I say
No, y'all don't love no more, no
Y'all don't feel a thing, y'all
Hopped up on some Xans
Only way that y'all can sing
Yo, who the hell is talkin'? Is
It y'all or just the darkness?
That the drugs inside you author?
I been sober with my ink

These sober nights
When we dim down the lights
You and I made our own
Know you changed my whole life
Threw a match through open flames
Put your heart in my hands
And when I gave mine to you
You turned me into a better man

You my light-my brightest star
I wished for you back
When everything was dark
Keep me in orbit despite the gravity
Of the black hole that was born inside of me
Keep me on course through the
Mission I was given
Reason that I'm livin' biggest since
The fission of my birth
You know I was supposed to die
But I'm thriving on this Earth
Must have been a reason why
Who knew all that I was worth?
So I'ma make a change 'til my time's up
(my time's up)
Staring at the range, I'ma climb up
(I'ma climb up)
Show you our mistakes don't define us
(mistakes don't define us)
On the sunny side's where you'll find us
(you'll find us)
Used to paint with pain
On a different plane
I don't feel no shame
I learned how to change
But I had to get there through the flames
Don't compare no names
You can rest assured we ain't the same
Wanna be me, you can try
But your story isn't mine

These sober nights
When we dim down the lights
You and I made our own
Know you changed my whole life
Threw a match through open flames
Put your heart in my hands
And when I gave mine to you
You turned me into a better man
