Caskey - What If This Could Be Better? lyrics

Cocaine on yo' bedside, eyes don't sleep
Sins of my father washin' over me
Even in yo' absence, I'ma reach
Then I heard your speech, like

What if this could be better than
You thought it could be?
What if this could be better than
You thought it could be?
People change like the seasons
And it's never complete rIP, to the old me

I don't wanna die in vain
Tell me that it's gotta mean somethin'
I pray that it wasn't for nothin'
'cause I've been through too much pain
Baptized in childhood trauma
Only saint I knew was my mama
The glass on the window stained
Unsure where I should aim
I already lost everything
So on the other side, there's so much to gain
Off the rails with no place to train
And the devil on me
He bitin' with both fangs
Walked through the valleys in
Hell with no flames
The city I'm in is so strange
All I did was overcompensate with gold chains
And fo' ranges, it just made me mo' anxious
I said a prayer, opened my eyes to no angels
Bein' alone is so dangerous
The things we consume are so contagious
The scenes on the screen
The food that we eat
You don't hear the truth when we speak
It made me think there's a
Lot of room to compete
With our own self, think about it

What if this could be better than
You thought it could be?
What if this could be better than
You thought it could be?
People change like the seasons
And it's never complete rIP, to the old me

Got me singin' like, la, la, la la la
La, la, la la la la, la, la la la
RIP, to the old me

What if this could be better than
You thought it could be?
What if this could be better than
You thought it could be?
People change like the seasons
And it's never complete rIP, to the old me

Cocaine on yo' bedside, eyes don't sleep
Sins of my father washin' over me
Even in yo' absence, I'ma reach
Then I heard your speech
