Make Better
Intuition & Equalibrum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a day, what a day
You backtracked, learned the lack of love is hate
You grabbed your shit as if to pack and run away
You say you're gonna leave, face the facts you're gonna stay
'Cuz your life's right here. Dry your eyes, wipe tears
Never trust that vision from your right side mirror
Because your hindsight's clear, but the future's wide open
Sometimes life hits you from the blindside, oh it's like your timeline's broken
Hoping for a sign that your soul's not folding
While you're floating with the tides
Don't sit at home alone cold when it's July
You better fail hard and fail fast knowing that you tried
'Cuz when my life ends, I want more than five friends
Drinking at my funeral talking about our time spent
Want bigger problems than a 9 to 5 and high rent
I want to find the mindset to want more than I get

I don't got the way figured out
You can't play if you stay sitting down now
Don't bow out
'Cuz every day is a war
You fall down, gotta come back for more (more)
The floor's yours

Stop waiting for the day's end
Feet to the pavement it's never too late when
There's time to take measures
Fuck the bullshit, we gon' prove it's
Bigger than a movement, hands up who is
Trying to make better?

You sure beat yourself up a lot
And from the outside looking in it's tough to watch
You got time left fam, check another clock
A closed door's just a block, you better bust the lock
And shrug it off, never let 'em see the effort
Invest in best networks, and let the rest fester
Don't measure success by the rest, it's less pressure
To dive into it headfirst, and ride for what you exert
It hurts less to just hurt, don't avoid it
The product of the pain tends to make for more enjoyment
It's something that you'll toil with growing past your pride
So fail hard and fail fast knowing that you tried
'Cuz when it's all gone I won't blame the fall on
The fact I never put my everything into these small songs
Won't try to change what's already on the wall drawn
I won't blame anyone, I'll know I did it all wrong

I don't got the way figured out
You can't play if you stay sitting down now
Don't bow out
'Cuz every day is a war
You fall down, gotta come back for more (more)
The floor's yours

Stop waiting for the day's end
Feet to the pavement it's never too late when
There's time to take measures
Fuck the bullshit, we gon' prove it's
Bigger than a movement, hands up who is
Trying to make better?
Stop waiting for the day's end
Feet to the pavement it's never too late when
There's time to take measures
Fuck the bullshit, we gon' prove it's
Bigger than a movement, hands up who is
Trying to make better?
Stop waiting for the day's end
Feet to the pavement it's never too late when
There's time to take measures
Fuck the bullshit, we gon' prove it's
Bigger than a movement, hands up who is
Trying

@Darrel Be NO. Their lyrical ability sucks ass. They don't use unique words/metaphors, imagery, similes, alliteration, good word play, good/unique flow, unique and interesting themes/ideas, their beats are mundane and simple. 

That all has to do with them as musicians. They aren't.

Also, they are puppets for their labels and don't even write their own lyrics.

You know Ice Cubes cousin wrote for him? But I bet you don't even know who his cousin is... Del the Funky Homosapein... One of the greets hip hop writers yet no one knows him, they know the guy who can't even write, just looks cool. 

Open your eyes bro

Words cannot express how much this song continues to shape me everytime I hit rock bottom.

Thank you Lee, I know you’re always here, I sometimes forget about you. I hope you can forgive me, I promise I never stop thinking about you and what you showed me. I honestly cannot express how much you’ve helped me and how much you did. I hope you’re good yourself, I swear it all gets better.
I missed you.
Your worth cannot be defined. Can you please stay longer.

Hamesy

I highly respect you for the music you make and bars you throw down. "Cause when's my life ends I want more than five friends drinking about the times spent". I'm honestly surprised you aren't more popular than you already are, been listening to you for a while now and some songs speak my thoughts. Feel free to come through Canada man would be sick to see you

2019 someone?
Intuition is underrated as f... btw

ezzie

I fucking love when you sing in your tracks, and singing isn't usually the big part in hip-hop so that's pretty great. It just sounds right, yanno?

Hippy Gang!

Damn I used to slap this so much in 2013 (my senior year) the song got me through some shiit 💯 thanks intuition

Alex Morris

Wow. Just wow. These last 5 songs released on this account. Holy shit I can't believe how deep he goes. I've cried to his songs reading about how he visited a fan with cancer. What an amazing guy, he thinks he's just an average joe, and he is but he's an amazing one at that. Cause' everyone is an average joe with a different story underneath. Underneath it all we're all human.

Hamesy

This shit just changed my mood completely, you got talent my dude

TrickyRickyy

2020 wishing this dude still made music frequently
