DO BETTER
Ab-Soul Lyrics

They will always haunt my dreams
The memories of the green twins with your eyes will forever torment me in my dreams

Got to do better, I got to do better, I got to
I have a strong need and determination to improve myself and my situation

(They will always haunt my dreams)
The haunting memories of the green twins with your eyes continue to affect me

Got to do better, got to do better today
I must make progress and achieve improvement in my life starting from today

Got to do better before it's too late
I must make improvements in my life before it becomes too late and irreversible

Pick up the pieces and master the puzzle upon us
I need to gather the fragments and fully understand the complicated situation I'm facing

Look the man in the mirror and the eye and be honest
I must confront myself and face my flaws with honesty

Slow down time get back in line with my chakras
I need to take a step back, reconnect with my spiritual energy centers, and realign myself

Reach for the galaxy
I aspire to achieve great heights and expand my potential

Leave star dust for thus after me
I aim to leave behind a legacy that will inspire others even after I'm gone

Enter the void fill in the cavity
I must embrace the unknown and fill the emptiness within me

Risk the reward if that's how it has to be
I'm willing to take risks and face the consequences in pursuit of the ultimate reward

Everything in my power to try to do what God would do
I will exert all my efforts to emulate God's actions and do what is morally right

Ride the tide, don't fight with the current that guided do
Instead of resisting, I should go along with the flow of life's circumstances and trust the guidance it provides

Melt the ice 'round the furnace burning inside of you
I need to thaw the coldness surrounding the passion and fire that burns within me

There's nothing they can do that I can't do better
I firmly believe that I am capable of outperforming and surpassing them in any endeavor

Better yet, there's nothing I can do that I can't do better
I have confidence that I can continuously improve and excel in everything I do

Yeah, I'm better
I am indeed superior and more accomplished

Shades stuck to my face
I wear sunglasses constantly, almost as if they are a part of me

Hoodie glued to my head
My hoodie is always covering my head, serving as a barrier from the outside world

Hiding from the same world that made me who I am
I'm concealing myself from the world that influenced and shaped my identity

Deep rest can't even get outta bed
I struggle to get out of bed despite having sufficient rest

Too blessed to be so stressed
I acknowledge that I am fortunate and should not let stress overpower me

I do all this shit just to say, 'Get off my dick'
I strive to achieve success and prove others wrong, telling them to stop criticizing me

Mixed emotions prohibit my focus
Having diverse emotions hinders my ability to concentrate and be focused

This what you wanted, what's wrong with you? You don't make sense
I question what you desire and find it illogical and confusing

Feel like I could flip at any moment
I have a sense of instability, as if my emotions could change drastically at any given time

Face is playing and it's fucking with me
My perception of reality is distorted, causing great distress

Doing drugs was just a war with boredom but it's sure to get me
Engaging in drug use was merely a way to combat boredom, but it will ultimately have negative consequences

Lord forgive me
I seek forgiveness from a higher power

Wear the crown of thorns for sport
I willingly endure pain and suffering as if it were a form of entertainment

I'm just waiting for a stone to hit me
I anticipate facing further difficulties and obstacles in life

Uh, relationship on the rocks
My romantic relationship is currently experiencing turmoil and instability

My family all concerned
My family members are deeply worried about me

My homie's still on the block
My friend is still involved in street activities

Getting it off the curb
He is making a living by selling drugs on the street

I'm sticking by survivor's guilt
I am burdened by guilt for having survived while others have not

I'm getting it off of words
I find solace and release through expressing my emotions and experiences in my music

I'm dyin' but I'm gone with the wind
I feel like I'm slowly dying, but my presence disappears like the wind

And I'm gone with the wind, you leave
As you leave, I also disappear and become distant like the wind

You feel me on your skin (skin)
Even though physically separated, you can still feel my presence emotionally

'Cause I'm gone with the wind
Because I'm no longer tied down and freely moving like the wind

Gone with the wind, ahh
Disappearing like the wind, vanishing into the distance

You feel me on your skin
My impact and influence are still tangible, even after I'm gone

They will always haunt my dreams
The memories of the green twins with your eyes will forever torment me in my dreams
