Better Off by ECID Lyrics
[Intro:]
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel you feel it in your chest
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel you feel it in your chest
[Hook: x2]
I’ve been at the bottom
I’ve been at the top
I’ve been a leader
I’ve been an elitist thinking I was better off
Better as a whole
No better half
Cashing in my best
Until all bet’s are off
[Verse 1:]
Kicked out at seventeen, skipped out on everything
Sipped rounds of Hennesy, big mouth felony
Could of been the death of me, instead I found a better me
Tongue kissing enemies, studying negative energy
Started selling weed so you could rap on the job
Ten years later and your still rapping on the job
Monkey on your back girlfriend begging you to stop
Dug a really big hole so you couldn’t stop
Got a lot of people in your corner
Even if the corners only relative to the current intersection you’re cursing at
Every solitary thought is drunk on burger fat
Living too fast to digest and theres no turning back
We base our happiness on things we wanna buy
When we get to that place where our talent is monetized
The worst thing I ever did was make my mom cry
The best thing I did was wake up and apologize
[Hook: x2]
I’ve been at the bottom
I’ve been at the top
I’ve been a leader
I’ve been an elitist thinking I was better off
Better as a whole
No better half
Cashing in my best
Until all bet’s are off
[Bridge:]
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel you feel it in your chest
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel you feel it in your chest
[Verse 2:]
Surrounded by recklessness, I had to forget this shit
Learn to accept a hit learn to accept a miss
And if the shoe can fit make an ambitious list
That fits YOU not HIM and YOU can take that risk
I used to think I only had one option
Boxed in, selling my voice at silent auction
Then bang, life forever changed in a yoga class
Used to be so lost and now I think I’m never going back
Proud to be a Longfellow resident
But still get espresso imported from Northeast
They sell us wars cuz the poor can’t afford peace
Let alone a piece of the pizza the greedy won’t even eat
I smell like stale pot and white russians on purpose
A mission statement to bank statement burning in the name of worthless
The worst thing I ever did was almost give up and quit
The best thing I did was stop having a fuck to give
[Hook: x2]
I’ve been at the bottom
I’ve been at the top
I’ve been a leader
I’ve been an elitist thinking I was better off
Better as a whole
No better half
Cashing in my best
Until all bet’s are off
[Bridge:]
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel you feel it in your chest
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel you feel it in your chest
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel you feel it in your chest
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel it in the air
Can you feel you feel it in your chest
[Hook: x2]
I’ve been at the bottom
I’ve been at the top
I’ve been a leader
I’ve been an elitist thinking I was better off
