Doing Better
Song by Jasmine J Walker
I’m tired of being broken about this
I’m tired of not knowing where I fit
I’m on my way to being better
I’m on my way to doing better
Taking it back like Motorola flip phones
Way back when I had posters on my wall
A time in space when people called me brace face
The traumas of this life I just can’t escape
Is depression every day what it takes to be great
‘Lil young mind couldn’t understand the stakes
I had to learn on my own how to separate from snakes
Silent screams is what I did every night
Toxic friends wouldn’t let me have a life
The ones real close brought the biggest strife
Hard to be hopeful when you ain’t living right
I want the drama out my life
Get it out my sight
Run up on me that’s a cause for a fight
One bag in my hand ‘cause now I pack light
Looking in the mirror uplifting myself
Don’t worry 'lil shawty it’ll be alright
I’m tired of being broken about this
I’m tired of not knowing where I fit 104
I’m on my way to being better
I’m on my way to doing better
Never again will I accept disrespect
Or fall victim to selfish neglect
Mad at me when it’s evil you project
I’m coming hard body ain’t no time to half step
Principalities wanna see me down
Holy Ghost with me I’m so profound
Can’t go back now
Can’t cop my style
Wanna steal my sound
Here’s a red nose clown
Oh am I supposed to be happy
‘Cause you invited me to the party
You want applause for the bare minimum
Pay me I got a real big family to feed
I got homeless kin on the streets
That’s out there in need
No chains without land or money isn’t free
Ya name ain’t Stevie this harm that you’re brewing
I know you beyond your eyes you can clearly see
I’m tired of being broken about this
I’m tired of not knowing where I fit
I’m on my way to being better
I’m on my way to doing better
How you face your giant is how God get the glory
Don’t quit the good chapter of your story on the way
Show them pearly whites it’s about to be a brighter day
I know you’re real sad now but it’ll be ok
When the no’s come
Don’t flinch
Put the work in beast mode Marshawn Lynch
Don’t do it for the green
Don’t do it to be seen
Do it ‘cause you can’t just live in your dreams
Put your self-esteem top shelf
The war is on but you’re hidden well
Just can’t help these cards you were dealt
But when you arrive that presence felt
Running supreme in your little realm
Purpose meets fate when you find yourself
Keep looking to the hill which cometh your help
Yeah look to the hill which cometh your help
I’m tired of not knowing where I fit
I’m on my way to being better
I’m on my way to doing better
Taking it back like Motorola flip phones
Way back when I had posters on my wall
A time in space when people called me brace face
The traumas of this life I just can’t escape
Is depression every day what it takes to be great
‘Lil young mind couldn’t understand the stakes
I had to learn on my own how to separate from snakes
Silent screams is what I did every night
Toxic friends wouldn’t let me have a life
The ones real close brought the biggest strife
Hard to be hopeful when you ain’t living right
I want the drama out my life
Get it out my sight
Run up on me that’s a cause for a fight
One bag in my hand ‘cause now I pack light
Looking in the mirror uplifting myself
Don’t worry 'lil shawty it’ll be alright
I’m tired of being broken about this
I’m tired of not knowing where I fit 104
I’m on my way to being better
I’m on my way to doing better
