Alaz - Better

Better, I choose to have a better life
This ain't a song, it's better days and better nights
So even when it feel like evil got my world surrounded
I'm Bruce Lee inside the circle, watch me dance around it
Floatin' butterfly, stingin' like I'm Ali
Muhammad got the devil on the run like a track meet
As-salaamualaikum, peace when I greet
They ask why, I say why not, we need peace in these streets
It's like, we need love, we need knowledge of self
That's the knowledge of God, that's the knowledge of wealth
'Cause really, a better you and me is all i want to see
So everyday I work to grow, 'cause

I just want to be better
I know that life can be better
I know this world gon' be better
'Cause we gon' make it better

They say that things get better with time
I'm still late to meetings, ain't got better with time
Got debt collectors calling, they be gettin' declined
It ain't a block on my phone it's just a block in my mind
Went to school for education, I came out with a fine
Tell myself that I ain't broke and that it's all in my mind
But really, half empty, half full, it's still half a drank
And $5 in the ride ain't even half a tank
Life ain't gettin' cheaper, really need like half a bank
So I wrote myself a check and said fill in the blank
Stopped the sympathy and started thinking' like a ruler
Respect to moguls, but I'm out to be a Mansa Musa
Eat to live like Elijah, here's to better health
Money's nice, but peace of mind is the better wealth
Exercise and meditate to set the mind free
In mind, body, and soul

I just want to be better
I know that life can be better
I know this world gon' be better
'Cause we gon' make it better

Tell me what you believe in, dollar bill or the gun
Let me show you what I believe in, I believe in the One
Now I ain't where I want to be, got a long way to go
But I ain't where I used to be, 'cause everyday I grow to be better, better, better, better
I just want to be better, better, better, better
I know that life can be better, better, better, better
I just want to be better, better, better, better
