For the Better by Kause Emcee Lyrics
Intro:
We only live one life/
One time for my ambition/
Yea/
It's been a long time, since I felt like this/
Verse 1:
We only live one life, one time for my ambition/
One mic to provide what the man visions/
One love to the ones that’ll stand with him/
Up until the very end and take a chance with him/
If you really know me you'd know that I'm better than the old me, facts/
When I let depression hold me back/
It controlled these raps so I never liked what I wrote/
I chose to never reach the goals I had/
I was failing myself/
Wanna punch at the mirror as I’m facing myself/
The mistakes that I made had me wasting myself/
As I laid in a hell I created myself/
These days I've been saving myself for a change/
Cos I don't wanna dwell in the pain/
Smiling now I feel alive and proud/
Because I came from a life of doubt that I made/
Erased the mind state I was deep in/ (so gone)
When you couldn't get me up from a sleep in/
I would dream big but I never had the drive to achieve things/
Wasting the mind of a genius/
Didn't see the potential I had/
Lucky now that I recognise that when I enter my lab/
With a sharp mind I could've jeopardised that/
I was lost but I reckon I'm back/
Ay, mind adrift, I went from lighting spliffs/
To putting time in this, now look what I can spit/
It's been a long ride writing the life I live/
I think it’s time that I rise from this bind I’m in/
Cos I'm not done, getting set for the long run/
But I won’t forget where I come from/
And I don't regret what I done wrong/
I'ma dust off from the past cos it's harder to run from/
Hook:
I’ve been on the right path, I've been on the right road/
I took that hate from my heart and pushed that pain from my soul/
And the further I go, the more I learn and I know/
This life is more than I hoped, cos I've grown for the better/

Verse 2:
Who would've thought that I'd make it this far/
Back when I was young every day was pissed up/
I couldn't breathe much from the dust I kicked up/
A breath of fresh air was a must to clean up/
I've been done, with the same excuses/
Beating myself down for not making music/
And asking why I'm down half the time/
I can't describe the way that I'm self abusive/
I'm hard on myself/
Thinking ‘bout what I want has me asking myself/
Will I ever really be happy enough with myself/
Should I ask for some help with the cards I've been dealt/
These days I can pardon myself for a change/
And put it down well on the page/
Made to spit, I gotta chase the fix/
To make a hit and face the world that I've hate/
Cos I can't wait no more, what for/
Enter the abyss, I found the lost kause/
I'm out from what was and doubt I'll go back/
To a track with a lack of routes to come off/
Cos I can be strong/
Keep keeping on cos I was at a full stop for heaps long/
With writers block, I was beside the bong/
Thinking that I had to get high to write a song/
But I was wrong, in a sober state/
I'm shocked at what a little bit of focus makes/
My whole fams happy now that they know I'm straight/
And won't blow my brains out like Kurt Conain/
I'm so grateful for the mates that I've made/
Right there for support when I fall on my face/
These pieces of life couldn't fall into place/
If I never got better so of course I've changed/
Hook:
I've been on the right path, I've been on the right road/
I took that hate from my heart and pushed that pain from my soul/
And the further I go, the more I learn and I know/
This life is more than I hoped, cos I've grown for the better/
