Better by Jodie Jermaine Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jodie Jermaine]
My whole life I've been pretended so you’ll love me
Am I winning yet?
Finally, feel the real me and the fake me tryna intersect
Don't fit in your inner sects, honestly, I'd been depressed
Cuz’ no one wanted Jodie just the phony on the internet
Thankful for my brodie's thought that I would never make it
Ain't been the same since my momma died took away my blanket World cold heaven knows that kinda love has no replacements That's a wedding cancellation
I know somebody was praying for me
Father on and off the drugs spending everything we had
Brother on and off the drugs stealing everything
We had I just had to laugh taking care of little sis, still
I feel this little kid inside of me like let me live
I bought the house I bought the whip I fought to heal
But on the real I can't forget and maybe I will never so I'll sever all The pain attached to every memory change my perspective
Under vein attacks affliction makes us better
If you've ever felt the same then you're a treasure
A beautiful love letter in the hand of God
[Chorus: Big Mike]
What if that mountain was a stepping stone
To take you higher than you’ve ever gone
What if beauty was buried in the pain would you dig it up or leave it in the grave?
If you just take what you’ve been through
And change your point of view
It'll only make you better, better, better
[Verse 2: Jodie Jermaine]
And I be damned if this pain was for nothing
Cuz sometimes blessing is suffering
And want to be a good dad and a husband
I want to see a diamond out of the rough end
Man I wanna see love win man
I love when I see a father and son and a daughter in love
With her father knowing she won’t be bothered with a guy
Who's a bum but that guy who's a bum probably didn't plan to be Someone damaged him and the sickest thing is
There are people even under the steeple
Seeing these deep wounds like a lane for manipulation
And we don’t need a bitter generation don't call em evil just stop Abusing them change your views and try to wear the shoes of Them affirm them they already have someone accusing them
Law without love turns into lawless without love so they creating Goblins not sons protecting an image tryna be flawless
But there's not one there's only Gods son without him
We are rotten, yeah
That's why I breakthrough for the ones that think they have been forgotten
God sees you
And if they hate me it ain't nothing new
I've been hated for less that's why I oddly move yeah oddly move
Cuz nothing short of omnipotence could've got me through so I'll be me like why be you?
Trust me afflictions making you better, you're a treasure
A beautiful love letter in the hand of God
[Chorus: Big Mike]
What if that mountain was a stepping stone
To take you higher than you've ever gone
What if beauty was buried in the pain would you dig it up or leave it in the grave?
If you just take what you've been through
And change your point of view
It'll only make you better, better, better
My whole life I've been pretended so you’ll love me
Am I winning yet?
