Better Me

[Verse 1]
You see the problem with you,
The more, more you talk, the less you do
I know what I gotta change, but I keep making excuses
Every day another battle, every day another bruise

I gotta make it, I don't have no other options
I think my brain's too fucked up from the toxins
Ain't nobody out there like me
Brain waves move like light speed

Thoughts racing through my mind nightly
Tryna find the old me, but the old me don't excite me
I been down, I been lost, I been caught in my ways
Had to stare at my reflection and acknowledge my mistakes

Can't blame everybody else for the mess that I made
If I want a different life, gotta move a different way
No more talking 'bout the things I'm gonna do
It's time to prove it to myself, not to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Right now I'm a mess
Right now I don't really wanna go flex
Right now I don't really wanna go lie
And say I'm countin' Benjamins

Right now I've been struggling
Just tryna pay on my rent
But I'm still here, still breathing
So I ain't finished yet

[Chorus]
Right now, right now
They tryna find out what the hype 'bout, hype 'bout
Why don't you fuck around and find out, find out
I'm just tryna get my head right
Get my head right, get my head right

Right now, right now
They tryna find out what the hype 'bout, hype 'bout
Why don't you fuck around and find out, find out
I'm just tryna get my head right
Get my head right, get my head right

[Verse 2]
I don't need a mansion, I need peace in my head
I don't need applause, I need to keep what I said
If I tell myself I'm changing, gotta follow through
'Cause nobody's gonna save me from the things I gotta do

I been procrastinating, turning dreams into maybe
Watching all the days go by, wondering where they take me
Had a million different plans, never finished what I started
Now I'm cutting off the noise, getting back to where my heart is

Small steps, big picture, I can see it getting clearer
Every failure that I had put another scar in the mirror
I ain't running from the past, I'm accepting what it taught me
Turn the worst parts of myself into the person that I ought to be

No fake flex, no cap, no pretending I'm rich
I'm just building from the bottom, tryna tighten every brick
If they don't understand, that's cool, they don't have to
I'm competing with the person that I was when I had to

[Pre-Chorus]
Right now I'm a mess
Right now I don't really wanna go flex
Right now I don't really wanna go lie
And say I'm countin' Benjamins

Right now I've been struggling
Just tryna pay on my rent
But I'm still here, still breathing
So I ain't finished yet

[Spoken Word / Beat Drops Out]
I'm my own worst critic,
I'm my own worst enemy.

Lowest that I built was gettin' high on amphetamines.

This ain't over yet,
I'm the only one ahead of me.

I'm the only one—ah...

I'm my own worst critic,
I'm my own worst enemy.

Once I win that battle,
ain't nobody be ahead of me.

The problem with that's every day I face a better me,
every day I face a better me.
