Better Things - Wrekonize

Ok year 2002

18 wondering what the fuck I’m gon' do

Witty Pretty potent with the modern machinations

An I ain’t really getting help with college applications

Shit I like to rhyme and I won a battle or two

Down at the PAC with the crew the kid from broward can duel

Yeah he got a few filler lines

By now that flip it up thing he’s probably used like a million times

But he’s got punches and energy to swing through the enemy assumptions

Shit Now he’s going national Times Square face off

Beat the competition for the cage match pay off

25k shit I’m still a teenager

And everything around now starts to seem major

Work on your album young Wrek

Shelved before I wrapped what the fuck could I expect

I took it with a smile I’ll be in the waiting room

Cause I’m waiting for the luck though to go for the gusto

Sharpening my tools in a pool full of pride

Where you pull or you die cause it’s true suicide

When you beat yourself up to be polite, right

Trying to get up in the bright lights like

Trying to find a spot on a throne where there’s seven kings

Sometimes it’s kinda hard trying to find the better things

We get up every day for the chase

Wait lemme see what’s at stake (What's at stake)

Make dollars just to live, make dollars out of habit

It’s all subconscious we all stack addicts

We get up every day for the chase

Wait lemme see what’s at stake (What's at stake)

They say money isn’t everything

But I’m sure the more you have makes for some better things

Better things will come along

Better things will come

Running in place with bad habits

Back before the cynics were reading into your status

Update, I’m just here feeling like a savage

Eating all this madness in a marriage for the maggots

Remember back when we used to spit in any circle any parking lot we backed in

Them was Illiterat daze with our riddle rap ways

G and H taught me how to sit and chisel stack phrase

I dreamt about syllables and multis not residuals and trophies

And here I am doing what I said I’d probably never do

Feeling weathered can be terrible

I know the paper can deface ya if ya take it as your savior

See this is written in its nature

But I’mma take ya to a place where you only hear the heavens sing

Sometimes it’s kinda hard trying to find the better things
