Better Conversations by SLVEY Lyrics
[Verse 1]
For a second i thought to myself it ain’t worth it to be
Losing yourself over passion but still having nothing to eat
My ego has gotten too big, enough to even let an enemy belittle me
Define me as someone you shouldn’t be talking to if you’re too ignorant
Don’t overlook me unless you were here with me writing this song
If I let you witness my greatness without my consent you’re a fraud
Above and beyond what you see yet you still looking out for my flaws
It’s part of the system but I cannot budge, not abide to the law
I’d honestly kill for a chance to begin in the end just to see where we’re heading with this shit there’s no way I’m working for nothing
All these hours spent on pouring my heart, in these lyrics I show you my scars
I can no longer be bothered by people who are faking their loyalty
‘Cause every time I step Infront of the mirror I know that I’m staring at royalty
[PreChorus]
I don’t need a crown nah..
Holding better Conversations with me and myself can only let money interfere in the dialogue x2
[Chorus]
Dreams of reaching the pinnacle
With or without you I’m destined for greatness correct me if I’m wrong
It’s more than luck that got me in this position correct me if I’m wrong
Maybe you shouldn’t have doubted me look at me now
Watching you fly too close to the ground
So maybe you should decide, to overlook my flaws
Cause i’ll Finally get mine
[Verse 2]
So this what it took for me to finally get you to lend me your ears
I’m glad I could help through the journey of you overcoming your fears
I know that I said I would call but I easily get caught up you shouldn’t be mad
But you know I’v been stretching myself way too thin for us to get this leverage I still do not have
Tell me what really matters the most?
Is it YOU lacking my attention or letting all my efforts go to waste?
Speculating every second I step out the crib like I walk with a safe
By now you should know that I turn a blind eye to the ones that I know are just fakes
Still undefeated I join them then beat them no I cannot stop at this rate
Every morning I wake up; I’m privileged enough to see the light of day
Pray to the lord for plenty more seasons as long as I’m still in the maze
Hope you live longer so you could acknowledge my greatest escape
Wait till I save the city I’m a lyrical hero design me a cape
[PreChorus]
[Chorus]
For a second i thought to myself it ain’t worth it to be

Don’t overlook me unless you were here with me writing this song
