Be A Better Man

(Album: Blue Devil - 2008)

I don't understand you muthafuckas anymore
It's like what the fuck you want me to do?
I guess be unhappy right?

It seems like you don't understand
I'm on a mission
Trying to get us out this ghetto land
I seen mom shed tears for years
Trying to open my eyes
And all I did was keep finding ways
To load up my nine
Mama please forgive me
I swear it's hurting my soul
I gotta swallow my pride
Cause you the queen of my throne
I feel alone
Shivering & cold
With no where to go
I just broke up with my girl
I got caught with them hoes
It's been a month I haven't seen my son
I feel like I'm done
I need affection baby girl
That's why I'm searching for love
I close my eyes
Hoping this is just a bad dream
I'm slipping in to darkness
Jesus come & save me
Tell me it's okay
I know I made mistakes
I wanna go away from this cloudy day
They tell me that I'm hopeless
Trying to break my focus
This hundred dollar deal shit
Tells me they don't know shit

I've been gone a while away from you
And I hope you overstand
That I've got to do what I must do
To be a better man
Cause if I was just to act a fool
Do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed
My world would crumble in
It's a joy when I sit down
And think of the good times that we have
And what we do to make it through
When the good turns to the bad
Well I hope you'll find it in your heart
And know these words are true
And please don't fuss
Because I must go do what I must do
Hey baby don't you worry
Even though the road is rocky
I'll be coming home to you again
And if you thought that I was lost
I have to burn my cross
Now I'm free from all these chains
Been gone a while away from you
And I hope you overstand
That I've got to do what I must do
To be a better man
Cause if I was just to act a fool
Do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed
My world would crumble in

Danny when you grow up
I'll tell you where I been at
I'll tell you what I been through
I'll tell you where I lived at
Your daddy always loved you
Son your daddy always cared
No matter what your mom says
I'll always be there
From the moment you was born
I always rocked you to sleep
My eyes couldn't believe
You were just like me
I sell drugs
I'ma thug
I come from the gutter
Just an ordinary gangsta
I'ma hood muthafucka
I got a little talent
So my friends mad at me
They hate me low key
When I consider them family
Your hand shake
Ain't really matching your smile
You use to hug me before
But I could give a fuck now
Walking with my head down
Trying to act like it's cool
But my tears keep falling
When I think about you
I just wish you could support my lifestyle
You pushed me away
But girl I'm needing you right now

I've been gone a while away from you
And I hope you overstand
That I've got to do what I must do
To be a better man
Cause if I was just to act a fool
Do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed
My world would crumble in
I've been gone a while away from you
And I hope you overstand
That I got to do what I must do
To be a better man
