Pirooz Beats - Do Better lyrics

Introduction: Say that one more time, Grandma "It's not important what other people think of you. It's what you think of you, Chad. And you came from the best, the best" - Grandma Poe [Verse One] Ayo them angels in the outfield Keep a distance It was never seen in my hood Brenda was poppin babies Like every weekend Shorty's barely fifteen On the block with the pick up f** the bacon and the swine They'll shoot it out for the stick up Ptown k**as The type to emancipate their incarceration They're going straight to jail When eighteen hits And their pleading the fifth It's kind of funny in the long run, right? You sell that poison but be mad at a snitch Now what's the point of this? Got love for your hood But not for your people Oh, you solid as stone? Well homie you're see through See I've been there And I've done that You n***as brag about what? Peddles in the dust And when you die, ain't worth a buck My n***a [Chorus] They want to see us do better They want to see us doing better Locked inside the brain Could never take away the pain (2x) We just pebbles in your window Bullets through your temple I am not your equal, n***a I am not your equal You are not my equal I am not your equal, n***a "I'm experienced now, professional. Jaws been broke, been knocked down a couple of times, I'm bad! Been chopping trees. I done did something new for this fight. I done wrestled with an alligator. That's right. I have wrestled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail." - Muhammad Ali [Verse Two] I was just that token with a destiny Never had a child though That was probably for my peoples I just want you to be proud of me Did I do my best? Do you respect my efforts? Am I appreciated? Is this love forever, dawg? Cause I've been living up in a box So many homies have disappointed I threw a lock up on the lock And now they're wanting to reconnect with me My focus is Papa J. in all honesty We ain't really been a group Since back in the day [Chorus] They want to see us do better They want to see us doing better Locked inside the brain Could never take away the pain (3x) We just pebbles in your window Bullets through your temple I am not your equal, n***a I am not your equal You are not my equal I am not your equal, n***a
