A Better Me - Payroll Giovanni, Tamara Jewel

DDS

You know, I just gotta be real with myself

Ain’t nobody tell us 'bout none of this shit, you know

Reachin' success, reachin' fame, how to deal with certain shit

Nigga had to figure that shit out on his own

Gettin' caught up in the life, shit get real, you know?

Lookin' in my daughter’s eyes made me realize

For her I gotta be a better guy, more organized (Ooh)

Gotta be more disciplined, show her what’s a man

Have life laid for her, give her a better hand (Ayy)

Walks with my son 'bout my Atlanta crib

I don’t think he ralize just how good he live (Hy)

I’m from Fenkell, we grew up around dope fiends

So I gotta have him in a boss seat before his teens (Ayy)

My mama can’t believe it, she love her life

Lost my granddaddy, she rep him in gold and ice (Ayy)

My granny think I’m genius and she always say

«You said you was gon' move us all one day» (Hey)

Stuck to my promise, stood on my word

Born hustler, used to hand-to-hand on the curb (Hey)

Went through some shit, but it just made me stronger

They wanted me to fold, but I stood taller

Another nigga I could never be

I’m focused, tryna be better me, don’t play with dude, just let him be (Just

let him be)

Certain shit I could never be (No)

Used to do a bunch of dirt, knowin' in me it’s a better me

Another nigga I could never be (Never be)

I’m focused, tryna be better me, don’t play with dude, just let him be (Just

let him be)

Certain shit I could never be (Never)

Used to do a bunch of dirt, knowin' in me it’s a better me

How I’m gon' be a billionaire and I’m all in the club?

Blowin' thousands every night like I don’t give a fuck?

(Ooh)

That shit was cool in our twenties, now you just a dummy

Fuck that, I’m movin' different for some different money

My street life good, but my home ain’t (Hey)

Had to reevaluate and get my home straight (Hey)

'Cause family most important, I ain’t tellin' lies

It’s just most guys don’t realize it 'til they forty-five (Ayy)

Don’t wanna be with you niggas, I’m tryna get some skrill

Don’t wanna beef with you niggas, 'cause I’ma get you killed (Ayy)

I want peace in my life, handle business, and chill (Ayy)

A private jet takin' flights, about to close a deal

Livin' the high life had me at my lowest (Ayy)

But when you gettin' money, don’t nobody notice (Ooh, ayy)

Livin' the high life had me at my lowest

It was a blessin' in disguise, 'cause now I’m so focused

Another nigga I could never be

I’m focused, tryna be better me, don’t play with dude, just let him be

Certain shit I could never be

Used to do a bunch of dirt, knowin' in me it’s a better me

Another nigga I could never be

I’m focused, tryna be better me, don’t play with dude, just let him be

Certain shit I could never be

Used to do a bunch of dirt, knowin' in me it’s a better me
