Better Man (Letra)
There was a man, his paper much longer
Whose house is in order
Livin’ on a whole ‘nother level than you
Ain’t gotta get material things from chicks
Frontin’ like you get it, the credit couldn’t get it
In and out the district, failed to pay child support
For your own kids and you don’t even give a ish
Hey Mister, you a misfit
Once I got your digits, I got you out my system
I know your number when I discovered
Lost all respect for you as a man, forget a lover
I need you to understand
That, baby, there’s a better man, better than you
What you talk, he can walk in his shoes
I need you to understand that
Baby, there’s a better man who’s better than you
The sad thing about it is you could be like him too
There is a man whose decisions are much wiser
Always there when I need him
Never fronts for outsiders
But you wanna be arrogant, ignorant
Do and say the worst things
Like I don’t remember it
You probably won’t remember this
‘Cause you’re selfish
You’re your own worst enemy, damn, you’re helpless
Take advantage of your loved ones
Baby, you’re the lost one
Might win some but you just lost one
And it ain’t even gotta be like that, no
I can’t believe you wanna be like that, no
I need you to understand
That, baby, there’s a better man, better than you
What you talk, he can walk in his shoes
I need you to understand
That, baby, there’s a better man
Who’s better than you
The sad thing about it is you could be
I thought that you would see me do my evolution
But I guess I’m starin’ down your layers with pollution
You say I’m trash and I always put you last
Not fast and furious, I’m just young and curious
So don’t blame me ‘cause you tried to tame me, crazy
You know I ain’t tamable, us that got inflammable
Thought I was permanent but now I’m interchangeable
Guess she wasn’t right and now with all the foolish things I do
Now you say I’m the worst but I had you at first
It took a minute for you to say you was finished
It ain’t your fault ‘cause I did it, I pushed it over the limit
But thanks for the privilege of having you was part of my village
Umm, part of my image but I don’t mean to look like
To take your heart crook tight, I’m still trying to get right
So I’m eating my spinach though I know that we’re finished
I’ll just do better the next relationship that I get in, get it?
I wanted to be your partner
But I couldn’t go any further
Couldn’t ride the tide but you passing germ
While I crashed and burned in the flame
And I can’t make it change
You stringin’ in a group now
When you are your own man
Is a waste of time for me
‘Cause I can’t make it better if you don’t wanna be
I need you to understand
That, baby, there’s a better man, better than you
What you talk, he can walk in his shoes
I need you to understand that
Baby, there’s a better man, better than you
The sad thing about it is you could be like him too
Baby, baby, now tell me, why, why don’t you wanna be better?
Why don’t you wanna be better?
Yeah, ooh, baby, ooh, baby, baby, ooh
What you, what you talk, he can walk in his shoes, yeah
What you talk, he can walk in his shoes, yeah
Ooh, baby, oh, you can be a better man, a better man
Better man, better man
