Do Better (feat. Solo Ntsizwa Ka Mthimkhulu)

Lookin in the mirror, see the face of every man to walk the earth and evidently come to strip it off its worth; look for ways to try and pimp it for a nickel and to flourish, then, later deny, having a hand, in how it was written

I’m conflicted in my words

Do my best to never mince em

Or, stand at a distance pointing fingers at the blurry reflection of the, self destructive way that I’m depicted

its a gift and it’s curse

Still I’m yet to come to terms

with the wisdom in these pearls

That glisten and obscure the optics of a being who was once innocent and pure

With a thirst for knowledge

when certain things cannot be taught

Need a different school of thought

If we aim to cure what’s toxic

My dreaming is thru the roof, I’m flawed as a man

Everything that needs healing, is the thing that I’m concealing

When I grip the paintbrush

And explore the many shades of my genetic make up

Know I barely say much, but in truth !!!

I could tell you how I came up from the mud

All the times I could have given up

Spent way too many hours in the cut

10 000 ain’t enough,

Progressing from when I was paranoid I ain’t know enough

Things changed, count my blessings yea I woke up

And stopped stressing bout the pressures of growing up

The streets say as a man you make your own luck

Thass when I learnt to do better

Uh! If you knew better, you’d do better

Or stay an ignorant bliss to give you new measures

Tailor my life to turn me super hero,

That’s should pad, a cape, a pair of buckle boots anda super ego

I’ve often wondered what a job of a Black Widow is

Managing The Hulk against intuitive

fears of what happens if Sun’s getting real low suddenly fails her

And doesn’t turn him human from her touch or her favor

Not enough hung banners in the rafters

What is consequence to mammoth

Idols and privilege

Talent gets a pass, male advantage

The birthright from demons in our past

I say this to say I still believe Lady Zamar

And if it ricochets, that’s proof of what I think about stars

To meit’s all the same,

I’m often told I’m taking it far

And if she’s found her peace, there’s nothing else but praise be Allah

I could tell you how I came up from the mud

All the times I could have given up

Spent way too many hours in the cut

10 000 ain’t enough,

Progressing from when I was paranoid I ain’t know enough

Things changed, count my blessings yea I woke up

And stopped stressing bout the pressures of growing up

The streets say as a man you make your own luck

Thass when I learnt to dobetter

Do better, do better, do better, do better , do better

What you thought mattered just don’t add up

When you know better you gotta do better

do better, do better, do better , do better

What you thought mattered just don’t add up

Now you know just what you gotta do
