"Better Now" – Kjtooflawless
(Verse 1)
I was down bad, they ain't never check
Heart heavy, pain sittin' on my chest
Tears fallin', but I wipe 'em off quick
Learned not to trust, everybody switch
Middle of the night, just me and my thoughts
Battles in my mind, fightin’ demons I fought
Fake love all around, I seen it clear
Now I'm movin’ solo, no fear, no tears
(Pre-Chorus)
Used to cry in silence, prayin' for a way
Told myself one day, I’ma see the brighter day
Now they see me risin’, but they never knew
What I had to go through just to make it through
(Chorus)
I’m better now, had to heal from the pain
Walkin’ through the storm, now I dance in the rain
No more chains, I broke out the cage
I’m better now, they gon' feel my rage
They doubted me, but look at me now
Heart made of gold, wearin’ my crown
I came from the bottom, I ain’t backin' down
Flawless forever — I’m better now
(Verse 2)
Thirteen but I got an old soul
Young king with a story untold
Turned my pain into power, wealth in health
Used to feel like I ain’t belong
Now I turn my hurt into every song
Every loss turned me to a champ
Lit my fire, now I’m burnin’ like a lamp
(Bridge)
They don’t see the nights I cried
They don’t see the dreams I tried
But I kept pushin’ through the doubt
That’s why I’m better, I’m better now
(Final Chorus)
I’m better now, had to heal from the pain
Walkin’ through the storm, now I dance in the rain
No more chains, I broke out the cage
I’m better now, they gon' feel my rage
They doubted me, but look at me now
Heart made of gold, wearin’ my crown
I came from the bottom, I ain’t backin' down
Flawless forever — I’m better now
