Better by Kelechi Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Set’em up. (Set’em up)
Knock’em down (Domino)
Wet’em up. (Drip Drip)
Watch’em drown (splash)
In a pool full of liquor when you not a round
Cause I been Netflix and chillin’ with a lotta brown
Been dealing with bad depression since an adolescent
And I ain’t never been the one to give a bad impression
But last quarter was darker than Heath Ledger joker
I had to Christian Bale myself out of a bad investment
You don’t know rock bottom for sure
Till you out with all your friends feeling dark and alone
Till you lay in bed chugging on some vodka to cope
Wondering how you let this sad shit get outta control
Get the fuck up out the bed you ain’t showered in three days nigga
Hop on the train nigga
It’s just a phase nigga
Gotta take this mental shit day by day nigga
You still the same nigga
But your…
[Chorus]
Mood change with the weather, weather
Been low on my cheddar cheddar
But I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better, better
Stick to it I ain’t never let up
On the days I would get up fed up
But I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better better
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Today I went grocery shoppin’
Without obsessing about how I’m supposed to be poppin’
Without thinking about how I’m too old to be rappin’
Without thinking if it could happen it would have happened
Middle finger to the dark clouds. Dread loc umbrella
Cover my head til the sun touch a young fella
I used to sit around thinking that something wrong with me
Trying to sort it out before the Lord come get’em
Stop trying to make sense of the answer
Maybe you’re meant to be moody, You’re just sensitive cancer
Maybe a screw or too loose and you need to lower the hammer
Maybe you need the emotions to pen the dopest of stanzas
Get the fuck up out your head and get it off of your chest nigga
You’re depressed nigga
But you’re still a fresh nigga
And you gone always carry all this extra stress with you
But you’re still blessed nigga
Cause ya…
[Chorus]
Mood change with the weather, weather
Been low on my cheddar cheddar
But I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better, better
Stick to it I ain’t never let up
On the days I would get up fed up
But I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better better
[Refrain]
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better, better
[Verse 3](Deante Hitchcock)
Never got to tell you how much you meant to me
Shoulda gave you your flowers while you were still round to smell’em
I owed you that for all the love that you lent to me
Man I swear man, I done prayed, I done cried
Asked God to pull more strings than a fuckin’ symphony
I don’t want no sympathy, I just want my brother back
And all that feelin’ sorry for myself, shit, I’m done with that
Especially now, didn’t know you was under “P-R-E”, Double “S”
Sure you had a lot on your plate but you never stressed
I mean at least from my perspective, you looked fine to me
Stevie Wonder all the signs I was too blind to see
When I was broke you always put me together
When I was low you always pushed me to get up
When I was down you told me to pick my head up
That’s why I love you forever, thought you was always strong
That’s why it hurt I couldn’t see your mood change with the…
[Chorus]
Mood change with the weather, weather
Been low on my cheddar cheddar
But I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better, better
Stick to it I ain’t never let up
On the days I would get up fed up
But I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better better
[Refrain]
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better
I been doing better, better, now
I been doing better, better
Set’em up. (Set’em up)
