better myself by Phrasure

I think I needed some time

Had to get some peace of mind

Trying not to cross a line

I’ll just tell ya that I’m fine



Really I just need some rest

So that I can feel my best

I’m tryna better myself

I wanna better myself



Gotta get back in the gym

Got some weight I wanna trim

Need to cut back on the sweets

And start watching what I eat



Take a second, catch my breath

While I monitor my health

So I can better myself

I wanna better myself



Prolly should put down this phone

Unless I’m writing these songs

I’m focusing on the Gram

And not playing with my fam



That ain’t the way I should live

I got energy to give

That’s how I’ll better myself

I wanna better myself



Anxiety got me down

Imposter syndrome’s around

Never called myself depressed

But I’m feelin’ like a mess



Maybe I should meditate

So I’m not stuck in my ways

I’m gonna better myself

I wanna better myself



I need to quit holing up

Go spend some time in the sun

Maybe go hike in the woods

The fresh air could do me good



I’ll sit and talk to the trees

And feel a natural breeze

That might just better myself

I wanna better myself



I’m watching all of my friends

Seeing success, makin’ ends

I sit and twiddle my thumbs

Thinking bout what I’ve not done



Get those wack thoughts out my head

I don’t need all of this dread

I gotta better myself

I wanna better myself



I think I don’t do enough

Like people think it’s a bluff

Been to a couple protests

Is that me doing my best?



I gotta march in the streets

Demand the change that we need

I gotta better myself

So we can better ourselves



I’m overwhelmed

I don’t feel well

Goin thru Hell

As you can tell



Honestly I don’t believe

How it is I couldn’t see

I’m acting so selfishly

MAYBE THE PROBLEM IS ME



And I

Wanna be a better myself

I’m taking the hand I was dealt

And reshuffling the deck

I must confess

That I’m coming to my senses

I’m defenseless

Against

My

Self



Lucky I got the homies to uplift me

But see I’m supposing no one gets me

I need to reframe my brain cause I’m feeling

Like I just can’t maintain how I’m dealing

Reeling it, racking my mind, back and forth

Thinking this is one big heist, Macklemore

Ryan Lewis

See I might come thru in

The midst of this crippling slight confusion

But I just knew it was all for naught

Cause these beats that I rap on is all I got



So...



Rich taught me to stay afloat

But I got knocked off the boat

Taken under by the waves

But now it’s time for some change



Write down everything I’ve felt

Take stock of what’s on the shelf

You wanna be a better yourself?

You better ask for some help
