[Intro:] Alright, yeah, yeah, no such thing as a life that's better than yours No such thing, yeah, yeah, can I get my vocal turned up a lil bit? Yo, yo, yo [Verse:] Consumed by the music, wrapped up in competition Following rappers careers and wondering how they did it Seeing material things and wishing that I can get it And then it set in, I gotta be more realistic Not everybody can be Drake or J. Cole, what you aim for? n***a, we ain't got the same goals, I want a life that's paid for By the things that I love Paitience is a virtue but I think I've waited enough It had me stressed out, question, should I keep striving? Keep putting videos out and hoping these kids find me Keep taking meetings with labels knowing they ain't gon' sign me Texting rappers that I met knowing they ain't replying My grandma dying and I'm touring around the country Smoking with n***as I don't know until I get the munchies Meeting b**hes at every city that wanna f** me My girl at home ain't used to that, it's hard for her to trust me Plus I don't even post pictures of us at all I was tryna keep an image, a n***a that spit it raw She don't say much, pretending she ain't see the things she saw And she hear it from her friends, girl, yo n***a is a dog That's the truth and the truth hurts, we dated young Before I was old enough to even step foot in the club Before I was old enough for cigarette smoke in my lungs Now we done, but you someone that I know I always loved And if I ever love again, best belive it's gon' be pure Don't commit until I'm sure, nights we spending on the floor Having conversations, how we got alot, but still want more Give her flowers, give her kisses, reconfirm the fact I'm yours Open yours, kiss you on your forehead when I say goodnight Suprise you from time to time and sure, it was something nice I text you when you at work, with something to make you laugh Accpet you knowing your past and give you the greatest life, love I can feel it in my bones Twenty fifteen gon' be special, I can feel it in my soul And I'm happy with the fact, that I did it on my own And I'm proud I moved to Cali, it's starting to feel like home Accepting responsibilities, mama, your boy is grown Don't stress over anything you know you can't control Hateful feelings get the best of you, you gotta let them go You got three kids that love you, so you'll never be alone, love Love yourself in the world you currently live in If it don't make you happy, then go do something different If you be f**ing up, then start improving your decisions If you on the brink of suicide, just sit back for a minute Think of everyone around you, think 'bout how it would affect them Think 'bout where you might going Think 'bout life that you neglected Think 'bout what you can do better and get out of that depression Drop those pills, put down that bottle And please, drop that f**ing weapon, it's real I hope that someone takes this sh** as a sign And my lines could have a purpose, be engraved on they mind Give a vision of blind, make them listen, rewind Reflect on they situation and compare it with mine Realize I'm just a person who's rapping but we the same Scratch the money, scratch the fame, we still feel the same pain Tryna maintain and hold on to the things that make us sane In the words of Jermain, there's... [Outro x2:] No such thing as a life that's better than yours No such thing as a life that's better than yours No such thing as a life that's better than yours No such thing, no such thing
