Be Better Than MeT.I.

[Intro]
Huh
Ok, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh


[Verse 1]
I never know whether I'm living for tomorrow or dying for today
But either way I'm tryna move a hundred dimes in a day
They say that crime don't pay, but I'm gon' stay on the grind in the A, with the same ol' J's
I know the lames gon' say that I done changed, no way
I'm in the gutter everyday, tryna slang more ye'
In the middle of the trap, we hang the dro blaze
Niggas in the trap ain't changed in four days
Waiting on a page that saying the blow came
Instead of us just finding more ways to get paid
Anyway, in the fire, I done been there homie
Niggas ball, niggas die, and ain't shit fair, homie
Them crackers give you some time and get to sit there, homie
My niggas dying, I'll see you when I get there, homie
Aye, born alone, die alone in life
But right or wrong, folk it's on for life
Just be better than me

[Hook]
Shawty, the streets ain't the place to be
I'm telling you cuz it's too late for me
Ay be betta than me
Crack a slug, nuttin' better to see than young niggas wit' a felony sheet
So be betta than me
I know ya mamma waitin' faithfully on her baby to graduate ya see
You way betta than me
Betta than us, betta than this, take a chance nigga change some shit
You could be betta than me

[Verse 2]
Ay, its rules in the game son, learn it young
When they haters speak yo' name, man, burn they tongue
Never be ashamed of how ya' live or where ya' from
You stack a mill, niggas will see how far you come
Without a gun, you got somethin'll make 'em bar you son
That's a million-dollar mind, why, they niggas is dumb
Yea they gon get outta line, but they niggas is scum
They outta sight and outta mind 'til you visit the slum, stay down
Stay on the grind and yo' digits'll come
Bottom line: you gotta shine no matta what you become
They streets is 40 percent of yo mind and 5 percent muscle
10 struggle, 10 time, and 35 percent hustle
And trust if dey don't burry the scared, they bury the dead
When anticipating pistol play, be very prepared
And if you ain't, find somewhere to burry yo head
Because them hot ones from the choppas tear ya body to shreds
I said

[Hook]
Shawty, the streets ain't the place to be
I'm telling you cuz it's to late fo me
Ay be betta than me
Crack a slug nuttin betta to see then young niggas wit a felony sheet
So be betta than me
I know ya mamma waitin faithfully on her baby to graduate ya see
You way betta than me
Betta than us, betta than this, take a chance nigga change some shit
You could be betta than me

[Verse 3]
In a broke down Cadillac, ridin' high
Not many trusts in this life either shine or die
Ima live one of two ways, either grind or cry
And Ima grind it out, even if I'm dyin it out
Ain't got no mo than me, so what the fuck you lyin about
That man right there, but ain't gon be when dey start findin out
That that bullshit you be talkin ain't the real deal
That ain't you blow, them ain't yo cars so how you really live
See what you need to do is take a chilly-willy pill
Go and chill yo ass out, fo dey deal yo ass out
A bad hand from a mad man, in a mad clan
All dem otha niggas take a fall you gon take the last stand
Gnawed in, sawed in, how everybody ball
When everybody else is all in you don't know where to fall in?
Need some Flaw Henn, I'm telling you shawty
And don't be buyin none of dat bullshit sellin you shawty
And all that otha shit they talkin is irrelevant shawty
Tell 'em, show you the papa, fo dey show you the cable
You see a whole different nigga when you open dem drables
Follow hatas nuttin holy can saves us
Shawty be betta than me

[Hook]
Shawty, the streets ain't the place to be
I'm telling you cuz it's to late fo me
Ay be betta than me
Crack a slug nuttin betta to see then young niggas wit a felony sheet
So be betta than me
I know ya mamma waitin faithfully on her baby to graduate ya see
You way betta than me
Betta than us, betta than this, take a chance nigga change some shit
You could be betta than me
