Only 1 Way
We we're made in his image
You know what that means, that we we're made to be different
So all of my believers gotta change how we livin'
So trust and believe that I'ma change how I'm livin', so

I'm better than I was before
The old me is dead and gone
I've gone through so much
This road is kind of rough
But it's making me better
(Repeat)

I'ma be a better man, I'ma be a better
I'ma be a better man, I'ma be much better
I'ma be a better man, better man, with all I am
'Cuz it's making me better

I'm sick and tired of the old man
I'm trying out God's program
His power stronger than Conan
His love's nothing like Romance
No, you ain't got to hold hands
Old man, you got no chance
Praise and worship in the morning time
Now watch me as I slow dance
Yes I've made mistakes, but I'm tryna find some help
'Cuz I wasted so much time tryna be someone else
Tryna front like I'm tough, and I know that ain't right
But I ain't 'bout that life, no
I ain't 'bout that life, no
Growing up is what we have to do, it's necessary
Fear better March like the month after February
(Okay) Old man I have to bury
And I told Matt quit acting scary
My soul man, defeat the adversary
And I'm better

I believe that I'm a better man than what I once was
Tryna do the best I can, do what you've shown us
Be an example, that you only desired for me
And I wanna be everything that you want me to be
I'll say
That I'm gonna give it all to Yahweh
I'm done doing things my way
I pray your will be done
As I follow your son
Looking at my reflection on a dime reflecting on the memories I made in a broken past
I remained on a broken path 'till I changed my ways onto the righteous path
You Only Live Once, but you die twice, so I gotta be reppin' an eternal life
I'ma be a better man that I was before, and I can't look down in the presence of the Lord
Check it out now I'm

In God We Trust
May all of us




Do what we can
To be a Better Man, yeah

@tingsgwan

Big up to Jahs children. We will never deny him for the love of men. Deny man and praise Jah and his only begotten son. The truth can not be hidden. Therefore he gave us the bible. Keep making real man's music. Not that feminine lost boy music that is mainstream or I should say main sewer drain.

@bossmama9500

I WISH YOU MUCH SUCCESS, THIS IS A NICE AND LOVELY SON. KEEP UP THE GOOD SOUNDS AND GO GET PAID!

@lewi8085

@AngieMonique831
