Better Man

When you're weary and tired would I lend you my lighter? would I tell you good-by or would I defend you through fire? would I carry your weight, or say have it your way? just panic and say: "I know it's tragic but hey. I'm generating my money, they aint taking my money" cus people who share usually get mistaken for dummies in the age of greed, the age of need mother earth screwed and we're setting the rapist free but I refuse to think people are selfish the people I choose to spend time with are selfless lot of people got dealt with, a poor set of cards a poor number of jobs so now numbers a starve I hate to look in the mirror cus the image is blurry and I'm too busy to worry so I live in a hurry so if you think of it really I'm both rich and a crook cus I eat everyday and still bitch in my hook. I go for mine and you go for yours but I won't survive if you don't support if I close my eyes and you close your door then hate multiplies and we lose it all. I look in the mirror, trying to see a better man a better man, a better man (be, be) a better man, (be, be) a better man War's religion driven, of course we thinking different we're lost, we're killing children in the name of I'd put family first, so if my family's hurt and worse come to worse, I'd go to jail, done. so there I go, I got me a problem dropping a bomb on Bin Laden's not gonna stop it evolving lost souls speaking chat-room morse-code but life's a too long road to walk alone though no man is an island, I'll be damned if I'm lying I aint planning to die alone, I'm planning to grow and still I had to burn some bridges cus somehow it seems that the devil learned my digits I try to make the best with what I was blessed with karma's a bitch and I feel her breath on my neck kid the way I lived my life is not that righteous had to be on the dark to recognize the light when I go for mine and you go for yours but I won't survive if you don't support if I close my eyes and you close your door then hate multiplies and we lose it all. I look in the mirror, trying to see a better man a better man, a better man (be, be) a better man, (be, be) a better man I go for mine and you go for yours but I won't survive if you don't support if I close my eyes and you close your door then hate multiplies and we lose it all. I look in the mirror, trying to see a better man a better man, a better man (be, be) a better man, (be, be) a better man
