I Ain't Better

[Verse 1]

A lot of folks asking the wrong questions

When you get the answers, those gon' be the wrong lessons

Like where the rap superstars? I got an objection

Death to the superstars the only natural progression

That singular size you chase only make corporate pensions

Think if one's reach ain't as wide, we all less than

How many celebs bend and folded in the light before we realized big isn't best?

Damn, that's what I'm questionin'

How can we lose what came from streets when it returns to it?

Means you're no longer part of the we that really yearns for it

Everybody teachin' these days, nobody learnin' shit

I just sit perpetually amazed at how absurd it gets

[Chorus]

Yeah, but I ain't better

But I ain't better, no, no

But I ain't better

Yeah, but I ain't better

[Verse 2]

What is underrated when I answer to my own taste?

Listenin' to suggestions, a pass that I won't take

Everyone always thinks they the one that's gon' convince you

They never gon' believe you really actin' out of principle

'Cause they can only see you through the lens that they live through

And they trade in their humanity for a digital life

But I'll be humble in this bitch, polite

'Cause it's a thin line between honest and resentful spite

The breeze blows 'em in and out and I'll be here for years

Wind-resistant, so never been a problem to cheer for peers

But the sounds I'm surrounded by got me feelin' like ain't no one else in my atmosphere

Got that clear?

[Chorus]

But I ain't better, yeah

But I ain't better, no, no

But I ain't better

I ain't better
