[Verse 1] Bills on the table Boots by the door Little shoes lined up That’s who I’m grindin’ for Used to chase that weekend Blew my check by ten Now it’s early morning coffee Tryna be a better man Missed too many ball games FaceTime from the road Saw my baby girl’s tears Through a cracked-up phone I heard my boy say “Daddy You comin’ home this time?” That hit harder than a punchline Straight to my pride (yeah) [Chorus] I wanna be a better man than yesterday Hold you close, not let this family slip away I been runnin’, I been stubborn, I been in my way But I can change, I can change for you I’m layin’ down my selfish ways, I’m done with games I’ll build a house of love, not just a last name Every sunrise, I’m choosin’ you again, I pray To be a better man than yesterday (oh-oh) [Verse 2] You stood in that kitchen Hands in the sink Sayin’, “Love don’t feel like much When it’s all on me” That cracked somethin’ open In this hard-headed heart Swore right then and there We get a brand-new start (yeah) Now I’m home for supper Phones in a drawer I’m learnin’ how to listen Not keepin’ score Tuckin’ kids in quiet Readin’ bedtime lines They don’t need a perfect daddy Just one who shows up tryin’ (tryin’) [Chorus] I wanna be a better man than yesterday Hold you close, not let this family slip away I been runnin’, I been stubborn, I been in my way But I can change, I can change for you I’m layin’ down my selfish ways, I’m done with games I’ll build a house of love, not just a last name Every sunrise, I’m choosin’ you again, I pray To be a better man than yesterday (oh-oh) [Bridge] I ain’t who I was But I ain’t who I’ll be If I keep climbin’ Step by step, you’ll see From “I’m tryin’” To “I did all I can” For my wife, for my kids I’ll grow into that man (yeah, yeah) [Chorus] I wanna be a better man than yesterday Hold you close, not let this family slip away I been runnin’, I been stubborn, I been in my way But I can change, I can change for you I’m layin’ down my selfish ways, I’m done with games I’ll build a house of love, not just a last name Every sunrise, I’m choosin’ you again, I pray To be a better man than yesterday (For my babies, for my lady, every day) A better man than yesterday

rap, Country-trap fusion with hard-hitting 808s, twangy acoustic guitar chops, and glossy synth pads in the verses. Male vocals: confident but vulnerable, talk-rap in the pockets with melodic lift into a big, anthemic hook. Choruses bloom with stacked gospel-style choirs and long reverb tails; ad-libs pepper the ends of lines. Beat drops to half-time in the bridge, then slams back in for a final, sung-out chorus., country
