Big K.R.I.T. - It's Better This Way lyrics

[Hook] It's better this way You don't really like what they play On the radio every single day It's better this way Ain't no telling when it's gon' change Cause they all really say the same things It's better this way If you looking for some original soul I know where you should go It's better this way Better this way It's better this way You don't really like what they play On the radio every single day It's better this way Ain't no telling when it's gon' change Cause they all really say the same things It's better this way If you looking for some original soul I know where you should go It's better this way [Verse 1] It's that, It's that Krit remind you of that sh** You used to play In your parents car Had you feel in as if outer space Was in your atmosphere ATLiens all in your ear Tired of being outcasted I hope that means you outta here Nowadays we flex so much Get a check so much We never chill Way to drunk to drive High as f** Plus we poppin pills Celebrate the very sh** That slow us down and probably k** Song ain't even jamming though Number one in every ville Got that on repeat Right before you wake On your way to work On your way to church Stuck in traffic Right before you go to sleep I know you tired Of that overdrive That commercialized sing along Wonder why they play this song all the time [Hook] It's better this way You don't really like what they play On the radio every single day It's better this way Ain't no telling when it's gon' change Cause they all really say the same things It's better this way If you looking for some original soul I know where you should go It's better this way [Verse 2] I didn't know about you till you recognized It wasn't paid for or televised by the label You couldn't see it all on cable or Advertised at award shows I didn't beef with none your favorite rappers Or drop a s** tape after Claiming it leaked off of my cellphone When really I'm tryin' to sell more And I wouldn't just say anything On the radio just to get fame Or trap it out, gangster rap it out Knowin' I ain't never sold a thang Bust a dime on the coffee table Really shorty I went to school I wasn't friends with the son Of the executive that ran the label I had to pay dues Wasn't no blueprint where I come from I couldn't blow up in the backyard Couldn't walk the streets with my Cd Give it to a DJ, like that's hard And he play it everyday 'till I got a deal Album date and advanced tour My takeover wasn't overnight To be honest with you, it was a gift from god [Hook] It's better this way You don't really like what they play On the radio every single day It's better this way Ain't no telling when it's gon change Cause they all really say the same things It's better this way If you looking for some original soul I know where you should go It's better this way It's better this way
