MAYBE IT’S BETTER THIS WAY

[Intro]
5 o’clock already
Almost 24 hours
Uh, yeah
Uh-uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh
Huh, listen, mm

[Verse 1]
Four albums later, four years, hard labor
Find an audience to cater to
Don’t return the favor
Had some records never spin
My own gang ain’t tuning in
I ain’t even proud of nun the shit
So of course, I had to dip
Came back like I never left, yeah
Bitch, I’m up like I never rest, uh
If you taking shots, get a better vest
This ain’t the ending, bitch, it’s the next step
So get on my level
Bitch, you not on my level
Bitch, you might be the devil
Bitch, you mad at my talent when you ain’t got no potential
You all bass and no treble
You all bark in a kennel
Just another person hating, bitch, I promise you ain’t special
When it comes to dirt, I got plenty
When it comes to ammo, yo’ clip empty
Had to make up some bullshit to turn the whole world against me
Never seen so much envy
Never seen someone so shifty
Type of shit that make me question if my own gang fuck with me
You prayed on my demise
You was just my best friend, now you can’t look me in my eyes
Crazy how you fake everything, personality of lies
Crazy how you fake everything right down to the suicide, oh my god, uh
Shit get wicked
Crazy how one switch up make you see the world different
Crazy how one hiccup really make you turn bitter
Crazy how one switch’ll turn you to a cold killer, ugh, uh
You was talking shit about me to my ex, huh
Worry ‘bout yourself, bitch, try to stay in one bed
I’d be lying if I said I’m wishing you the best
Really, I could care less ‘cause it’s forever fuck—
You, haha

[Chorus]
They say life is game, if I lose, tell me why would I play?
And they say it’s a shame I’m the same, tell me why would I change? Oh, oh-oh, oh
Say it’s okay, tell ‘em, “Maybe it’s better this way”
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
2020 when it all began
I remember late nights rapping, I ain’t even mix back then, huh
That was just a pastime
Wasn’t even really gon’ pursue it
Don’t hit me phone, say I’m stupid
Don’t hit my phone, bitch, it’s muted
I wasn’t even really into music
‘Til I got shot by Cupid
I fell in love ‘fore I knew it, I fell in—
Huh, that shit ended quick
Must’ve been bedridden, that shit left me sick
Hopped up out of bed, made a couple albums 'bout my ex
I ain’t even send a text, wasn’t really worried ‘bout how you’d react
Honestly, that’s fucked up on my half
Honestly, I did a lot of shit I wasn’t worried ‘bout in my past
Shit was moving quick, couldn’t focus on the motions like a time-lapse
Sending you them letters, I was hoping that you’d sign back, oh
I was hoping you’d reply fast, uh
Three years later, uh, everything had changed
I ain’t caught up in my ways, fuck that shit, life’s amazing, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Yeah)
Graduation in a month, time flies for the young
Always try to run, it’s always catching up
Reflecting on the past to look what I’ve become
Collecting all the memories, build it up to let it burn
All the trials, tribulations, I wouldn’t trade it for the world
“SAFFRON CITY” in the rearview, head to “DREAM WORLD” next (Ayy)
Fuck thinking 'bout the past, yeah, I’m worried ‘bout what’s up ahead, oh-oh

[Chorus]
They say life is game, if I lose, tell me why would I play?
And they say it’s a shame I’m the same, tell me why would I change? Oh, oh-oh, oh
Say it’s okay, tell ‘em, “Maybe it’s better this way”
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
