[Intro]
You were my phase
My mistake (uh)
Now you just feed my glow-up tape (skrrt)
[Verse 1]
You had me waiting by my phone
Now I don’t even check when it lights up
Used to get dizzy in your storm
Now I’m the calm and the cyclone
You talk big in your little world
Acting like I’ll never do better
I leveled up
Got a brand-new view
Baby
I’m the prize
You’re the lesson
[Pre-Chorus]
Told all your friends I’d be crying
Crying
But look at me
I’m shining
Shining
You lost the one you were lying lying to
Plot twist
I’m the upgrade
Not you
[Chorus]
I can get a better you
Same type smile
But the heart stay true
Same type style
But the love brand new
Everything you were
But the honest view
I can get a better you
One call away
If I want to
Don’t get it confused
Boy
It’s overdue
Why would I want you
When I can get a better you (yeah)
[Verse 2]
New DMs
I don’t even read
I’m picky with the energy I let in
You’re still busy trying to compete
With the picture of me in your memory
You said “no one ever gonna match this”
Funny how you turned to my practice
You’re a warm-up
I’m the main event
You’re the past tense
I’m the present
[Pre-Chorus]
Told all your friends I’d be begging
Begging
But I’m the one they’re all checking
Checking
You played the king in a paper suit
I’m walking out in a power move
[Chorus]
I can get a better you
Same type laugh
But a cleaner truth
Same type drip
But a deeper root
Everything you faked
But in clearer view
I can get a better you
Right now
Today
If I had to
Don’t get it confused
Boy
I outgrew you
Why would I want you
When I can get a better you (better you)
[Bridge – Rap]
You’re a rerun
I’m a new season
You the old script
I’m the new meaning
You were all talks
I’m receipts
Facts
Turned your red flags to a green stack
Yeah
I cashed out
No regrets
No debt
Every “you’ll miss me” was a losing bet
You’re a cheap copy
I’m the real debut
Any version of you?
I can get a better you (hey)
[Chorus]
I can get a better you
Same type charm
But the words ring true
Same type face
But a kinder view
Everything I gave
But they give it too
I can get a better you
Any place I go
That’s the truth
So keep your pride
Boy
I’m bulletproof
Why would I want you
When I can get a better you (ooh, better you)
