[Intro]

Champion

[Verse 1: H.E.R.]
Passive, past it, I've been thinking 'bout mad shit
Happened, action, baby, we never lasted
Magic, madness, maybe you was just gassin'
But it was better than I imagined
Drastic acting, to you it was just practice
Sadness, mask it, hated you with a passion
Had it, granted, baby, I didn't cap it
'Cause it was better than I imagined

[Chorus: H.E.R.]
Thought it'd be worse 'cause it hurts me
But still, I can't see myself with no one else
'Cause it was better than I imagined
Better than I imagined

[Verse 2: H.E.R.]
Trust me, love me, no one could evеr make you
Stay true, hate to say it, but it's too latе
My expectation's too low, you can't relate to
Baby, but I don't blame you
Baby, you were the one I always escaped to
Dated to replace you, maybe I'm just afraid to
Phone you, need you to tell me if it's okay to
Is it okay?

[Chorus: H.E.R.]
I thought it'd be worse 'cause it hurts me
But still, I can't see myself with no one else
'Cause it was better than I imagined
Better than I imagined
'Cause it was better than I imagined
Better than I imagined
'Cause it was better than I imagined

[Instrumental Outro]

Robert Glasper

Robert Glasper is an award winning producer, songwriter, and pianist from Houston, Texas. He is leader and main instrumentalist for modern jazz group The Robert Glasper Experiment.

In 2012 he achieved massive success and much more exposure with The Experiment’s debut studio album Black Radio. He received 3 Grammy’s and was nominated for 7. Black Radio not only put jazz back in the spotlight, but also gave it some new names to add to the genre..

After the record’s release, Glasper began to expand his horizons, working with artists such as 9th wonder, Common, and Bilal. After his 2013 Experiment sophomore album Black Radio 2 surfaced, he was given the oppurtunity to work with rapper Kendrick Lamar on his platinum selling To Pimp A Butterfly. He also collaborated with Common on 2016’s Black America Again, and with Big Krit in 2017 on his critically acclaimed 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time.
