Better
Lil Yachty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

You say it's good, I say it's great
But it could be better
It always, could always be better
You say it's good, but it could be better
It always, could always be better
Everything in life could always be better
Don't settle for less, 'cause then you miss out on more
Everything in life won't always be pleasure
You work for the treasure, just to live even more

'Cause you say it's good, but it could be better
It always, could always be better
Unlike your happiness, and live for forever
I'll express my love in a letter
I love you 'cause you be making me better
You make me feel so much better
It could be good, but it could be better
When I'm with you I feel much better
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Let's lay on the hood
And look at the stars
And name them whatever
You always call that one Trevor
Since a young one, you always been clever
Let's grow old, rocking chairs and play checkers
I want to spend my whole life with you
Without you I feel so blue
I probably lose my train of to do's
All my life I always -

You say it's good, I say it's great
But it could be better
It always, could always be better
You say it's good, but it could be better
It always, could always be better
Everything in life could always be better
Don't settle for less, 'cause then you miss out on more
Everything in life won't always be pleasure
You work for the treasure, just to live even more

You said I love ya, well we are so deep
I love you where we are, man it feel so sweet
Baby you against the call, you don't deny me
Love the way you love me Yachty
I really love you, you really love me
They must be blind if they can't see
I'm pouring up, I'll take you high
We best friends and we so fly
Neighbors always come around (oh ooh)
When you got me raining down (oh ooh)

You say it's good, I say it's great
But it could be better
It always, could always be better
You say it's good, but it could be better
It always, could always be better
Everything in life could always be better
Don't settle for less, 'cause then you miss out on more
Everything in life won't always be pleasure
You work for the treasure, just to live even more

'Cause you say it's good, but it could be better
It always, could always be better
Unlike your happiness, and live for forever
I'll express my love in a letter
I love you 'cause you be making me better
You make me feel so much better
It could be good, but it could be better
When I'm with you I feel much better
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh




Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
