Better Off
Rising Above Heartbreak: Baby Boy Keith's Empowering Anthem
Lyrics
Hurting me wasn't hard to do, baby
Hurting me wasn't difficult for you, dear
I'm better off, baby without you
I am in a better state without you, dear
I'm better off without you
I am in a better situation without your presence
Better, I'm astounding
I'm significantly impressive and outstanding
And I'm with a chick that look like Meg Thee Stallion
I am with a woman who resembles Meg Thee Stallion
Placing bets on me will have you next to counting
Placing bets on me would result in you counting your losses
Ones to the tens to the hundred thousands
Counting from small denominations to large amounts
And I bet I put that talk to bed and have them betters pouting
I confidently refute their discussions and leave them disappointed
I beg your pardon?
Excuse me?
You would think I'm tired of farming
You might assume I'm tired of putting in effort
When I blow and then sell out the Garden
When I become successful and sell out the Garden (likely Madison Square Garden)
Yeah you know my brother on the go
My brother is always active and engaged, so he's my close associate
That's why that boy my partner
He doesn't carry a firearm (Tommy Cole) like the character on the show 'Martin'
And he never keep that Tommy Cole like he ain't on Martin
I need to advise him to control his temper
I've got to tell him cool his temper
He possesses an extremely rude attitude
Swear he got the rudest mental
I've set new goals for myself
I just made a new agenda
I will demonstrate my complete abilities to the industry
Show the game my full potential
From the beginning of the year till the end of December
Top of the year and through December
If you forget, I will make sure you remember my impact
If you forget, I'm going to make you remember
She's familiar with my music, so I've given her special recognition
She know my songs so I made her a member
I rap like Biggie Smalls but aspire for greater success
Rapping like Biggie, but thinking much bigger
My primary motivation is the fear of failure
My biggest motivation is the fear of losing
I can't imagine a life without achieving my desired goals, so I reject laziness
I can't see myself without the life I want, so fuck the snoozing
If you attempt to prove something, you might get physically hurt
You try to prove something, you might lose a tooth, a few some
Don't be disrespectful or invade my space, you'll regret it
Don't be rude, or choose intrusion, loser
Just step aside so I can accomplish my goals
Just move so I can do some
I used to listen to calming music, which influenced my musical growth
I used to groove to soothing soul, that's how I grew in music
My greatest fears have driven me to enhance my skills
My biggest fears are spooky, they're the reason I'm improving
I coped with my confusion by expressing myself through music
I drew my blues on one's and two's to cope with my confusion
I disregard emotions now because you messed up, showing your foolishness
Fuck your feelings, now I'm rude to you because you blew it, stupid
I only associate with affluent individuals now
Only linking that I'm doing now is with the cuban
I'm only envisioning success in my dreams
Only dreaming I'll be doing now is dreaming lucid
I'm not failing now because I'm consciously improving myself
I ain't sinking now because I'm consciously improving
I have self-awareness because I understand
I'm self aware because I know
Many things can occur over several generations
A lot can happen throughout generations
My grandfather couldn't read, but I am now writing
My mother's father couldn't read, but I got pen to paper
It's interestingly coincidental; God seems to favor us
How ironic, to be honest God is in our favor
I'm breaking negative patterns in my family; watch me achieve greatness
I'm breaking curses in my family, watch me be the greatest
In a better state without your influence or presence
Without you
I'm better off without you, dear
Said I'm better off, baby without you
I'm in a better condition without you, dear
Said I'm better off, baby
I'm in a better situation without you, dear
