YoungBoy Never Broke Again - Better Man lyrics
[YoungBoy Never Broke Again - Better Man lyrics]
Yeah, this for everybody who
Who lost someone to the streets
Or to the system
I catch myself feelin' down from
People talkin' 'bout me
They don't even know me though
'Round 2005, when I wrote my first rhyme
When I first started I wanted
To quit so many times
My brother told me "Trell
You ain't gotta tell no lies"
Went from the ground to my prime
Now I'm on the rise could see the pain in my
Eyes but I always smile despite the hate
That's on my child I'll never stop
My mama asked me "Son
How it feel to be on top?"
Always had that hustler ambition since
I was a child i drop my nuts and be a man
They don't understand
No matter what I tell my fans
They don't know who I am
They criticize me and don't know me
I don't give a damn
I tell my sons that I love
'em every time I see 'em
My family talk about me
I just act like I don't hear 'em
A nigga ever cross me
Swear that I wouldn't wanna be him
I'm from the streets
Put you to sleep and I won't shed a tear
So when it's beef, my niggas creep
No they won't let you live
I remember everything lil' Dave said
The image of them killin' you
Stuck in my head forever thuggin'
On my brother I ain't scared
I'm screamin' "Fuck em!" they gon'
Miss me when I'm dead
I told my girl that I love her
Please don't change on me
I speak the truth, bae I'm for you
I'll put a ring on it i tell you everything
Honestly 'cause you my homie
I'll put a shield over yo'
Back whenever it be stormin'
My love for you, I let 'em know, yeah
Me and you, we gon' grow old, yeah
You down for me, and that I know, yeah
What we don't tell, they don't know, yeah
Up in these streets I done
Seen so many things
Swear I'm so young for to have so much pain
I ain't have nothin'
I had to make it through the rain
They changed on me but man I
Swear that I won't change
Right now I'm workin' for to be a better man
Ain't have no father
So I had to take a stand
They ain't with me if they
Ain't feelin' what I'm sayin'
Get up, go get it
You don't need no helpin' hand
(How can they change?)
How can they change up on me?
So many needs so I'm workin' hard, no sleep
Yeah I'ma make it
Yeah I know 'cause I believe
Could be in jail but in yo' mind you free
Right or wrong, that's yo' decision
Accept it and you run with that
I'm with you then I'm with
You, I won't change, it ain't none of that
I ain't gotta prove a thing
If you play me then I'm dumpin' that
Hop up in my spaceship, I'm gone
I ain't comin' back
They say "You don't know what you got
Until it's gone" and I see
That I'm gone and I ain't comin' back
Got it on my own
I stayed strong and I got what I believed
Man I swear that I ain't comin' back
Told me that you with me and you lied to me
If you my nigga, you my nigga
You gon' ride for me
If you my girl, when it's time
You'd testify for me i'd die for you
So in return you should die for me
Up in these streets
I done seen so many things
Swear I'm so young for to have so much pain
I ain't have nothin'
I had to make it through the rain
They changed on me but man I
Swear that I won't change
Right now I'm workin' for to be a better man
Ain't have no father
So I had to take a stand
They ain't with me if they
Ain't feelin' what I'm sayin'
Get up, go get it
You don't need no helpin' hand
Who lost someone to the streets
Or to the system
