Potluck, James Boy - Better Me lyrics
[Potluck, James Boy - Better Me lyrics]
I flew right past the note
They never saw it coming
Exceeding expectations
I like being number one and
Seems that I turned out to be better
Better than they thought I’d be
Better than ever
I had the will to succeed
Ever since I was a seed
I was born to compete
Bred to fight and never sleep
Up working all night cause being
Lazy makes you weak
In the game of life everybody plays for keeps
They were sleeping on my skills
Say making music was a waste of time
Told me give it up and yet
I wasn’t good enough to rhyme
I ignored the chatter only
Focused on what mattered
Working hard and getting better
Crafting rhyming patterns
It’s magic when I’m on a stage
How I control a crowd
You either have it or you don’t
Not even I can show you how
If they could only see me now
They’d probably turn the other way
Pretend they didn’t know me
Wouldn’t have no shit to say
Might look like Suge knight but
I’m not gangster with it
I’ll kill them all with kindness
Confuse them how I did it
I never called in sick
Ain’t never took no days off
You can’t be taking plays off if
You wanna make the playoffs
They looking at me like I’m
Some kind of sucker
But never be judging a book by it's cover
I eat every track but I never lose hunger
Now I’m making that shit I
Come from the gutter
I'm under the ground and I'm over your head
Flipping these raps and I’m
Stacking the bread
All of my life everybody was judging me
But on the stage when I’m
Rapping they loving me
Shocking the crowd when they seeing me flow
I’m in love with this rap
I can’t leave it alone
I just started these rappers can’t
Get in my zone
I’m not a thug but I work to the bone
Gotta better myself always stay on the grind
They say that I can’t then
I step up the bottom
I’ll murder I'll kill you one track at a time
They always just said I was out of my mind
Nobody thought I could do it
But, I always knew it was meant to be
Wreaking the mic I'm a battering human
No one was better than me
Better than ever I made them believe
When I be spitting they can’t even breathe
Never be quitting I’m bobbing and weaving
With every line written I’m bettering me
Stay with the mission I stick to the plan
They never thought I could be what I am
I’m so underrated I really go ham
When I’m hitting the stage with
A mic in my hand
Seeing the show they becoming a fan
They be keeping it going and building a brand
Millions of miles in a bus or a van
I’m becoming accustomed to being
A fucking man!
They never saw it coming
Exceeding expectations
I like being number one and
Seems that I turned out to be better
Better than they thought I’d be
Better than ever
I had the will to succeed
Ever since I was a seed
I was born to compete
Bred to fight and never sleep
Up working all night cause being
Lazy makes you weak
In the game of life everybody plays for keeps
They were sleeping on my skills
Say making music was a waste of time
Told me give it up and yet
I wasn’t good enough to rhyme
I ignored the chatter only
Focused on what mattered
Working hard and getting better
Crafting rhyming patterns
It’s magic when I’m on a stage
