Lyrics
Do Better
Oh yeah Yo (Oh yeah) Let it breathe (Oh yeah) Just let it breathe (Oh yeah) Let it breathe, ayy (Oh yeah) Let it breathe (Oh yeah) One time, let it breathe (Oh yeah) Yo (Oh yeah), like
If I can do better then I'll be better Rolling in the deep, I need to breathe better I see demons in my sleep, I need to sleep better Having visions of my friends in RIP sweaters Have you ever had to sacrifice your health? Ever had to sacrifice yourself? Plus I got an army full of dickheads tryna sabotage my wealth But I know it's self-destructive if I bang 'em by myself, wow
Like God hold me down 'til I'm downed God, hold me down 'til I drown (Hold me down 'til I drown) It's like I nearly fell into the ground But the holy blood of Christ, you don't ever let me down Lord knows I'll be back up in minutes and disappear Wonder if I flip, all my mandem just disappear Number seventeen on my little list of fears Then she tells me not to speak and she whispers in my ear like
I know everything is okay I'ma need you to do better I'ma need you to do better I'ma need you to do better I know everything is okay But I'ma need you to do better I'ma need you to do better I'ma need you to do better
I know everything is okay I'ma need you to do better I'ma need you to do better I'ma need you to do better I know everything is okay I'ma need you to do better I'ma need you to do better I'ma need you to do better
If I coulda done better, woulda got better My brudda looked me in my face and said, "You're not better" I said, "Give me two secs," bill a spliff, take a hit, reminisce And then I bet I feel a lot better Man, I used to spend my time on the roof It weren't a penthouse suite, but I was fine with the views What'd you do with your pain? I put mine in a zoot Then I smoke it all away to take my mind off the truth
Was a troublesome youth, had desire for war Bought my mummy a coupe, she nearly cried on the floor Spend time in my sneaks or spend a night in my thoughts You walk a mile in these, I walk a mile in yours Ah, man, all the things I been battling through the year Wonder if my bro woulda made it if I was there Number twenty-five on my little list of fears Then she tells me not to speak and she whispers in my ear like
