Lyrics: Gabriel Al-Shaer
Music: Gabriel Al-Shaer
Things have changed for the better
And maybe that’s how I grow
I don’t know life but a life that’s difficult
Maybe that’s how I roll
Started in the gutter
Now I bring in racks on the low
I don’t know money, but a thang that’s everything
I know it ain’t spiritual
Picture life that transmit sin
I don’t know nothing bout back when
When my bro and them fell in the fold
Ever since, we ain’t let that go
Picture life before my kids
Surrounded by junkies, hitting licks
Now I’m so far from that place
Is that me, my memories
So many battlefield scars
While running myself up into the dirt
And I came this far, like mama I’m thuggin hard
All of these artists like stars they either blow up, or black out, or break up, or back down
Weight of the world will blow your back out
What’s a couple hunnid likes to something true
What’s a dead man walking, plucking strings and singing blues
What’s the purpose of me doing what I do
What’s the difference in who I am, and who you say is you
Ooh, things have changed for the better
(Maybe that’s how I roll)
Things have changed for the better
(Maybe that’s how I roll)
Ooh, things have changed for the better
(Maybe that’s how I roll)
Things have changed for the better
(Maybe that’s how I roll)
For the better, for the better yeah
I was a polka dotted solo cup from doubling my losses
Now I’m sober and deposit podolica in my bosch fridge
Walk with with the herd and you heard a common cent
Diabolical birds make purses out of ostriches
Talk s*** a n**** skrt, don’t stop like this
My whips alive like Victor’s monster is
When the pain gets bottomless
Let the Gods turn this water red, or their son will
Whoa, s*** is amusing, I used to be broke
Broken and clueless, less stupid more
Woke, no robust and no crust for breakfast
Endless resentment expressed it to no one
No fun, so just don’t lose your head less you thoughtless
Then you ain’t lost s***
F***** with the darkness is like kicking wasp’s nests
N***** always confident playing offense
Work hard survive, work smart you live
No work, you die, no life go fish
Do fly s*** like I ain’t used to swimming
Wells full of crossed ambitions, lost wishes
Copper for lobster, lobster for coy
If you not an imposter, it’s pasta for toys
Noise for the f***** I give, the f*** you kidding
I enjoy life and a knife in it
I enjoy life and a knife in it
Ooh, things have changed for the better
(Maybe that’s how I roll)
Things have changed for the better
(Maybe that’s how I roll)
Ooh, things have changed for the better
(Maybe that’s how I roll)
Things have changed for the better
(Maybe that’s how I roll)
For the better, for the better yeah
Ooh, things have changed for the better
Things have changed for the better
Ooh, things have changed for the better
Things have changed for the better
For the better, for the better yeah
