Better You - Jonny Donson

Dumbfounded like a brick trying to float on the water, You've been trying to hide away But they've finally caught ya, Soaked in shame and been down to the floor, Heart is biting down hard like a glass jaw You spend your life Within the panoramic negative, Wasting your days In a haze, Running round like a fugitive. Ah you're getting so big in those boots I bet you forget just what you do to me, So burst and float back down to earth. You better rethink what you know, You better reap those seeds you sow, You better unlearn what you have unlearned, You better burn thems-a them a burn, Cos when we combine our efforts you will see That it's not about you it's not about me, We create this thing together... Ooh oh wooh-oh oh oh M mmm mmmm mmm mmmmmmmmm. Mm mm whooh-o-o-o a woh oh a woh a ya wooahhh... etc You spend your life Within the panoramic negative, Wasting your days In a haze, Running round like a fugitive Sh you're getting so big in those boots I bet you forget just what you do to me, So burst and float back down to earth. You better rethink what you know, You better reap those seeds you sow, You better unlearn what you have unlearned, You better burn thems-a them a burn, Cos when we combine our efforts you will see It's not about you it's not about me, We create this thing together Come release my life I really want to try I really want to rise above it all Come release my soul Cos I'm gonna take control Im gonna make it rise above it all Ooh oh wooh-oh oh oh Whooh-o-o-o a woh oh a woh a ya wooahhh Wooh-oh a-oohh-ahh Yeeahhhh yeeaaahhh ooohhhh ohoh wooh Mm mm whooh a whoo woh oh a woooh ooooo... .

Is this what you had expected before Is it less, Is it more Is it best when you're lettin' it pour Can I trust if it's defected and torn And the stress it absorbs Through ya chest and the core with a lesson ignored Situations they didn't change I need me a big escape I'm thinkin' a prison break To dissipate the war Now I guess my blessings left through the door but This is just what I expected, I get it of course Yeah Up in the night Hopin' the fam is straight and they safe from the strife Mama askin' when the blow up coming feel like asking God what is life I don't wanna talk about it for better or worse That's some shit we do not do Feel like the harder we push it inside the more that we hurtin' the people who got you Pops taught me not to show any weakness You show yo true feelins' don't let them see it Soon as they sense it, they pocket it Next time yo back is turned they gon' use it believe it Life ain't really what you see on the TV They make it look easy that shits an illusion Head to the streets and I'll prove it Fluent, study the people and learn to maneuver Only thing people respect is money and power they never gon' settle for less Secret is ain't no milli get made except by finessin' the ones who got less Pull the curtains of a broken system It's people of color that's pulley pushing Only solution is revolution Only solution is revolution, Let's go head and do it Is this what you had expected before Is it less, Is it more Is it best when you're lettin' it pour Can I trust if it's defected and torn And the stress it absorbs Through ya chest and the core with a lesson ignored Situations they didn't change I need me a big escape I'm thinkin' a prison break To dissipate the war Now I guess my blessings left through the door but This is just what I expected, I get it of course Aye Up in the booth, press record Daydreamin' 'bout things I can't afford I've been working hard to have a brighter life But I'm stuck in dead-end 9 to 5 Tryin' my best to go forward But there's so much shit in my way My inner doubts and my inner demons are makin' me lose my place I've been screaming out now tryna make a loud sound But no one will hear what I say Wanna be further along, I gotta be strong to get to the place where I'm tryna belong Night is darkest right before the dawn But sometimes even when you're right, you're wrong I want a better life for me and my own Want crowns for my people, wanna sit on my throne Want a girl so fine with a life so sweet Wanna come on home, kick back my feet Want a nice new whip, wanna make it all clean Wanna make it shine, wanna make it all gleam Wanna sit on my porch, look back at it all Wanna see me rise, never see me fall Fall back to the grind, no stress in the back of my mind Is this what you had expected before Is it less, Is it more Is it best when you're lettin' it pour Can I trust if it's defected and torn And the stress it absorbs Through ya chest and the core with a lesson ignored Situations they didn't change I need me a big escape I'm thinkin' a prison break To dissipate the war Now I guess my blessings left through the door but This is just what I expected, I get it of course
