A Better Me

If I could be a better me, yeah, but I've already begun

If I could be a better me, ooh, yeah, I'ma be a drinkin' son of a gun

I've lost so much an won a few, it's crazy how I've been livin

If I could be a better me, on my way to heaven

I know it's crazy, baby, I know it's frustrating I know how I get each and every single daily

Yeah, it's a little crazy, so I just hit my knees, yeah

And I just get to prayin', I know it gets hard, so we gotta trust God

But we some grinders, we make it out, like from the start

Ain't nothin' in this world could ever tear us apart

You hold it down and keep it solid, not the one part

I'm a work in progress, I promise I'ma change

But at the end of the day, I'm the one to blame

I'm the only one that can change, yeah

If I could be a better me, yeah, but I've already begun

If I could be a better me, ooh, yeah, I'ma be a drinkin' son of a gun

I've lost so much and won a few, it's crazy how I've been livin

If I could be a better me, ooh, yeah, on my way to heaven

Lookin' out the window with no one by my side, I ain't got no friends

Oh, I've got so much to hide, Smith is always on my side

I guess I'm reapin' what I sow, I don't owe you no lies

I just thought that you should know that I'm keepin' side of me

These things that I hold the closest, you didn't see me change

Or even begin to notice that I've been swimmin' so long

Inside this endless ocean, so many fuckin' struggles

But I gotta keep it goin

If I could be a better me, yeah, but I've already begun

If I could be a better me, ooh, yeah, I'ma be a drinkin' son of a gun

I've lost so much and won a few, it's crazy how I've been livin

If I could be a better me, ooh, yeah, on my way to heaven

Took so many trips down these old memory lanes

It's been a long time, but still nothin' here has changed

I was searchin' up and down, I was lookin' all around

For everything that I lost, but it was me that wasn't found

Hopeless, I'm broken, no strength to keep on goin

Been wearin' the weight of this world up on my shoulders

My coffin so full, it done started overflowin

But somethin' deep inside tellin' me to keep on goin

I'm on my way

I'm on my way

I'm on my way back home

Until that day

If I could be a better me, think I have begun

I could be a better me

I'm a weed-smokin' son of a gun

I could be a better me

Already begun

I could be a better me

I'm a beer-drinkin' son of a gun

If I could be a better me

But already begun

I could be a better me, ooh yeah

I'm a weed-smokin' son of a gun

I've lost so much and won a few

It's crazy how I've been livin

And I could be a better me, ooh

On my way to heaven
