"The Better" lyrics

I changed for the better, got porcelain on my teeth
I even cut my dreads off, rockin' my fade neat
I decided to kick the lean and the beans, I'm stayin' clean
If I ain't kept goin' to jail and the prison, where would I be?
I changed for the better, got porcelain on my teeth
I even cut my dreads off, rockin' my fade neat
Decided to kick the lean and the beans, I'm stayin' clean
If I ain't kept goin' to jail and the prison, where would I be?

If ain't make none of these horrible decisions, I wouldn't be me
If ain't never woulda had money, I'm stealin', I wanna eat
If everybody around this motherfucker killin', then I need a torch
In the chain gang thousand miles away like I'm on tour
Everything that used to matter don't matter to me no more
Everybody that's close to me see the growth, say I'm mature
Now I'm pretty sure my haters even proud of me too
'Cause now you ain't gotta worry about me runnin' down on you
Got myself back in school, ain't lettin' nothin' stop me
This gangster educated, don't let 'em tell you you can't make it, shawty
I say I changed for the better, this shit was personal
Said fuck all that lil' boy shit and I turned it up

I changed for the better, got porcelain on my teeth
I even cut my dreads off, rockin' my fade neat
I decided to kick the lean and the beans, I'm stayin' clean
If I ain't kept goin' to jail and the prison, where would I be?
I changed for the better, got porcelain on my teeth
I even cut my dreads off, rockin' my fade neat
Decided to kick the lean and the beans, I'm stayin' clean
If I ain't kept goin' to jail and the prison, where would I be?

Imagine if I ain't put my all in the stu', what would I do?
I'd be in a stolen car with four Glocks lookin' for opps, be on my groove
You ain't want me when I was embarrassing, so you can't get the better me
Bringin' Grammys home like championships, it ain't far away 'cause I can see
Let me show the people I got some sense 'cause they been startin' to believe
Up all night playin' with fire, high out of my mind, can't find the reef'
I'm just gettin' started, they see I'm peakin', they want me to fall off real bad
I ain't doin' no beefin' like I'm a vegan, but I'll still get on a nigga ass
I switch the gears and hit the gas, ain't lookin' back, ain't turnin' 'round
They thinkin' today I just might crash 'cause they know how lil' Yak get down
I carry this Sniper shit on my back, I made it hard for niggas
I'll fuck 'round, put a bitch in a bag, you should be proud I'm chillin' (Yeah)

I changed for the better, got porcelain on my teeth
I even cut my dreads off, rockin' my fade neat
I decided to kick the lean and the beans, I'm stayin' clean
If I ain't kept goin' to jail and the prison, where would I be?
I changed for the better, got porcelain on my teeth
I even cut my dreads off, rockin' my fade neat
Decided to kick the lean and the beans, I'm stayin' clean
If I ain't kept goin' to jail and the prison, where would I be?
