Substantial - Better To Give lyrics

VERSE 1 F all the nonsense that preceded Be it from me or partners, please stop it and don't repeat it Never gave a f** until a f** is what I needed Young dumb and conceited, til the day I conceded It's easy to be the selfish type until you get deleted Many head back to that space ‘cause life's lesson have gone unheeded Like father like son I'm on my MJ I'm gon beat it Won't remain seated, stand for those who can't and fill defeated I know that you see it You're just too cold to get heated, you on some worry about me sh** And you got your reasons and I know why Cause the real heroes don't make C notes or get love ‘til they die You can think of better sh** to with your time and I don't blame you bruh HOOK (Precious) They say it's better to give... No matter how righteous you live... Treated like you're worthless but still some how Walk in your purpose strong and proud They say it's better to give (Substantial: You better believe it) No matter how righteous you live (Substantial: The n could see it) Treated like you're worthless but still some how Walk in your purpose strong and proud VERSE 2 I can't promise you Heaven or larger profits A villa out in St. Thomas or even offer you solace Surely no goddess with a rack and booty that's flawless Maybe that... would motivate all us, while attracting droves of the thoughtless Few are able, journey's painful, why tell fables and lies Even less are grateful but an angel will fly Even though it seems the wind up under your wings ain't in supply Elevate or die can't tell me the sky is not mine, Don't try... I rise! Are you a giver or receiver? Either… Rapist or rapee, given a choice who would be either But a victim of such hatred more than likely is in need of An advocate to stand with them when no one will believe'em you see'em If I would've cared as much about fame and fortune as giving back It's probably fair for all us to say I just might've had a plaque Or maybe that there is bull sh** couldn't be further from the facts Bout I'm out here giving support where ever they lack, facts Some of yall be hitting me up like you trying to help the cause Then I hit you back and bamas won't answer the call And I ain't mad, no no, but I hope you Never know the pain they have, not at all HOOK VERSE 3 For those capable of more they say more is required Never wanted much, blessed with more than I desired Wanna make a difference or you rather make a profit Or both? Remembered as a glutton or profit?! Give it if you got it, if you got it, give again Give it if you got it, if you got it, give again I say give it if you got it, if you got it, give again And again… and again.... and again.... and again!!!
