Better Lyrics by Elijah Hope

2019

Verse
I eat breakfast in the p.m
Dinner when it a.m
Freezing this is Sweden
Might still join the foreign legion
I live here but don't belong
Keep that language out my song
I speak french but ain't from France
Refuge, i fled my home, but where is home?
I don't know
Call me a star by the way that i glow
Light up the room when i put in a show
I'm so cold i spit ice when i flow
But back to the rap ting
"Facts to the mass" ting
Keep it realer then MJ blacking
Keep it factual like police, ain't a person you can't catch lacking
Red line where? i don't follow no structure
If life's a train i just trust the conductor
Living over 'til the boy go under
No not Ausie talking six feet slumber
Rest in piece to my former self
Let the spirit rise and the flesh rote here
Where were ya'll when i needed help?
Then their back when they see that belt
(Swear down)
It's crazy
'Cause they didn't even want to help when it was weighty
Then they go ahead and call a man lazy
'Cause i took my time just to make it
Tryna be 35 when i lay it down
Move out the city to a pretty house
Focus on my fam not my bank account
Get em all they need so they'll never want (so they'll never want)
Chorus
Growing up i had to go thru all type of things
Darker days on my own couldn't afford a chicken wing
Never ever ever will my family see the same
Even if i gotta grind thru weeks seven days
Never ever ever will they ever
Worry 'bout no bills no not ever
Momma showed me i could be much better
So i ain't stoping 'til we living better
Verse
Melancholic since 13
Melanin since ever
You ain't never seen the worst me
What people say to feel badder
Super judgefull i might seem
But really on a "ultralight beam"
Rock Adidas with Nikes
You don't likey then bite me
Hot-heads get a cold bath
Humility on this slow path
Hit the gas when i'm feeling gassed
If it rains that i might slid off track
As i'm losing grip see my whole life flash
Lord take the wheel or i might just crash
So many times in my youth i's stressed
It's by Your grace that i'm still blessed
What i lack in mula, got triple in gifts
I can feel the smirk on the face of skepts
But they can't a day inside of my crepts
I ain't put down nine just to stop at 10
When off rhyme just write that line
Then go offline to redraw that line
Reminded of more simpler times
Being a refuge meant no silja-line
Chorus
Growing up i had to go thru all type of things
Darker days on my own couldn't afford a chicken wing
Never ever ever will my family see the same
Even if i gotta grind thru weeks seven days
Never ever ever will they ever
Worry 'bout no bills no not ever
Momma showed me i could be much better
So i ain't stoping 'til we living better
Verse
Operation that Amex
Pay myself call it taxes
You want loafs then bring baskets
Don't be stingy keep passing
(Tuh)
I got dreams to feed masses
I got dreams to free masters
You might think that i said it wrong
But really i just work backwards
Serve forever not just after
Turn your plug into a pastor
Book of life, this your chapter
Don't lose it all in one caption
I got plans, they got schemes
Got cash but ain't free
White dove over me
Paper plans with no leash!
"Praying Hands" on repeat
Dwight Schrute on these beats
Office bars on fleek
Say something trendy might peek
Wisdom like honey, my bars are sweet
Might go sub-marine, if your mind deep
Titanic when it comes to shallow speech
The wreck that it leave, half way out of reach
Chorus
Growing up i had to go thru all type of things
Darker days on my own couldn't afford a chicken wing
Never ever ever will my family see the same
Even if i gotta grind thru weeks seven days
Never ever ever will they ever
Worry 'bout no bills no not ever
Momma showed me i could be much better
So i ain't stoping 'til we living better
