Better off by Ettrick Shepherd Lyrics
[Intro]
My temper bubble hot
I troubleshoot but I ain’t doing shit without a double shot
Thoughts lie in my head and then they just tumble off
While I’m sitting in a quiet restaurant
It’s the little things in life
They’re the most beautiful things in the world that you could ever want
You’d be surprised by how many people seem to get it wrong
I’m setting off and enjoying life until it’s gone
[Verse 1]
Let’s see what you’re dealing with
Let the world see you for your weaknesses
Let the shit hit the fever pitch
Then slowly decline to be easier
Was never average teen but I have a dream
And I believe in it and that’s the first step to take to achieving it
Looking back at the shit I’ve done
Hated myself I wanted to run
Never did girls or the drugs and blunts
Wanted to be knee deep in the funds
But I had fun
And that’s just the person I am
And if you hate Joe I don’t give a damn
Just promise you’ll keep that away from my jam
[Verse 2]
This is my passion and I used to do it well
Got me thinking hat happened? Did I lose a fuel cell?
My actions definitely put me through some hell
And 11 year old me, I still look to you as well
I was rapping and in persistent hot pursuit of wealth
360 stitched my broken wings up but then I flew and fell
To change the world we gotta change ourselves
I have a heart and I made it felt
That’s just the way I displayed myself
But I gotta say this game is hell
I got so personal
Went so deep and immersed you all
And when it’s done it’s irreversible
So I just fucking hope that it’s worth the fall
Looking back, man, I gotta say
It’s pretty obvious I lost my way
I needed a rest and I got my break
Now I’m revived to fight another day
Wiped down that dusty slate
Won that war between love and hate
Jumped the gate to the greener grass and banish that feeling that was stuck in place
Got me thinking “Wow
I feel so different now”
And I’m fricking proud that I found that door to euphoria and kicked it down
My temper bubble hot
I troubleshoot but I ain’t doing shit without a double shot
Thoughts lie in my head and then they just tumble off
While I’m sitting in a quiet restaurant
It’s the little things in life
They’re the most beautiful things in the world that you could ever want
You’d be surprised by how many people seem to get it wrong
I’m setting off and enjoying life until it’s gone
[Verse 1]
Let’s see what you’re dealing with
Let the world see you for your weaknesses
Let the shit hit the fever pitch
Then slowly decline to be easier
Was never average teen but I have a dream
And I believe in it and that’s the first step to take to achieving it
Looking back at the shit I’ve done
Hated myself I wanted to run
Never did girls or the drugs and blunts
Wanted to be knee deep in the funds
But I had fun
And that’s just the person I am
And if you hate Joe I don’t give a damn
Just promise you’ll keep that away from my jam
