Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Used to count my days by the holes in my shoes
Cold breakfast, thin coat, had to make it through
Mama said "keep moving," so I kept that pace
Whole block knew my name, but not my place
I wanted what they had, had to watch it pass
Same old hand-me-downs, same old broken glass
I learned how to smile when the power went out
Learned how to stay quiet, still stand my ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the road look smooth
Now the weight fell off
All that pain made proof
I was built to cross
[Chorus]
Better and better now
Better and better now
Look at me, look at me now
Everyone cool with me now
Better and better now
Better and better now
I came up from the ground
Everyone cool with me now
[Verse 2]
I remember the laugh when my wallet was light
Had big dreams in my head, but the fridge stayed white
Had to make something work out of nothing at all
Turn one little lesson into a standing tall
Now the phone won't stop, same folks call my line
Everybody act warm when the sun starts shining
I don't trip, I just know who was there before
The ones who stayed hungry know what I'm worth for
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the road look smooth
Now the weight fell off
All that pain made proof
I was built to cross
[Chorus]
Better and better now
Better and better now
Look at me, look at me now
Everyone cool with me now
Better and better now
Better and better now
I came up from the ground
Everyone cool with me now
[Bridge]
I don't forget the nights
I don't forget the cold
That hard little life
Made my spirit gold
If they want a seat
They can wait in line
I was built from less
Now I take my time
[Chorus]
Better and better now
Better and better now
Look at me, look at me now
Everyone cool with me now
Better and better now
Better and better now
I came up from the ground
Everyone cool with me now
