DOLLAWATER - BETTER MAN Lyrics

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This what you wanted, huh?
This what you wanted, huh?!
Yo, yo, yo

Last few summers, I told you brothas was my year (uh)
But directions and goals, they wasn't quite clear (nope)
No destination in mind, just let that car steer
'til the gaslight shine and I got bald wheels (woo)
Time wasted I know is something we all fear (yeah)
Imagine what happens when your mental ain't all there (damn)
I guess the pride, it cometh before the fall here
And if you can relate, then let me get an (aww yeah)
An arm hair away from cusping the gold
From 40 hours a week to that hustle & flow
I'm in no rush to get old, just wanna be the perfect man
By the time my kids have little ones of they own
Gotta do right to make up for brothas I know
Who see their seed as a leech or just something to hold
I'm at the edge of this cliff, wondering what sit below
And as much as I wanna quit, it's must that I don't 'cause

I am who I am
Ten toes down, half a gram in my hand
Lord Knowz I'm a sinner tryna come up with a plan
To leave earth a better man (yup)
I put it on paper but, y'all don't even understand (nope)
Ten toes down, cold one in my hand
Lord Knowz I'm a sinner tryna come up with a plan (uh)
To leave earth a better man

Yo, making sure my daughters straight, that's my only mission (yeah)
Impossible for me to make it if my soul restricted
Had to take that leap of faith into that cold abyss and
Hold it in, pull the chute, and pray my soldiers hold position (woo)
All my thoughts in disarray, think I overdid it (uh)
'til I make it to the grave, I won't know the difference (yeah)
Should a brotha I die today, there'll be no repentin'
I'll just finish off this eighth, brush on my scripture
You claim to be the coldest with it in the business (woo)
But I can't help but notice all your ho intentions (damn)
I'm five-percented, the windows to my soul is tinted
As I'm skrrtin' on the shoulders of the road to riches, huh
They was sleepin' on me, I was goin' fishin' (uh)
Y'all done messed around and woke up in my motion picture
Rollin' up that ENDO til' my soles is lifted (woo)
Jumpin' out the window with my co-defendants, yeah

I am who I am
Ten toes down, half a gram in my hand
Lord Knowz I'm a sinner tryna come up with a plan
To leave earth a better man (yup)
I put it on paper but, y'all don't even understand (nope)
Ten toes down, cold one in my hand
Lord Knowz I'm a sinner tryna come up with a plan (uh)
To leave earth a better man

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This what you wanted, huh?
This what you wanted, huh?!
Yo, yo, yo

Mind playin' tricks on a brotha like a Jedi
I'm on one, sippin' Dusse on a redeye
Keep at least three open, never leave the screen open
Got the cheat codes from OGs that I seen blow it (gasp)
I used to dream for it, ski-mask scheme for it (gasp)
Now my team golden, C3PO-ing
CEOs and VPs don't even know it
COD or Jaycee ODon 'em
See me going beast mode, BC on em (gasp)
That's what happens when I tap into this habitat (uhh)
I aint stand a chance trappin', I had to rap (what)
And pull the back end of a rabbit out a magic hat (damn)
No one understands my struggle or this hell I live (nope)
Only god can judge my hustle, haters? Let 'em vent (hah)
When I hear the word "humble" I just tell 'em this (what):
'til I land, I'm on my 747 shit, stupid
