Better

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Since I was a kiddo

I was a leader

Heard life was a beach

But man, I wanna meet her

Swim in her deeper

But the grim reaper would always creep up

No ice on my bed, so I never sleep up

Flow bolt like Usain, try and keep up

Way before wavin' flag and the Fifa

I was a dreamer, life was a gamble

Born in a casino

But God never give you burdens you can't handle

Music is my ammo, I'm ready for battle

Win or lose

Right now I'm betting all my chips

When I'm broken down, I'll be brushing off my kicks

I'm a get it somehow

Yeah, you can count on this

I'm only gettin' better, better, better

I'm only gettin' better, better, better

I would say that I've always been a winner, but

I've probably always been a sinner

Two kids and a wife couldn't give her what she wanted

So I had to break like the winter

Summer saw me fall, cold play when I shiver

Spring back up, K'naan, not a quitter

And success, just sex

Tryna get her wetter

Failing is just an excuse for me to get better

Life means love

Love means pain

Loss is just a part of it

So charge it to the game

Rolling in the deep, what's a nice jeep

If you can't drop the top just to park it in the rain

Win or lose

Right now I'm betting all my chips

When I'm broken down, I'll be brushing off my kicks

I'm a get it somehow

Yeah, you can count on this

I'm only gettin' better, better, better

I'm only gettin' better, better, better

Yeah, ahn

One time for my thugs overseas and

Two time for my brother Big Lee and

Three for yourself if you know that real wealth

Is never giving up on your dreams and

Roll the dice, life is a breeze

Win or lose

Right now I'm betting all my chips

When I'm broken down, I'll be brushing off my kicks

I'm a get it somehow

Yeah, you can count on this

I'm only gettin' better, better, better

I'm only gettin' better, better, better

I'm only gettin' better, better, better

I'm only gettin' better, better, better

One time for my thugs overseas and

Two time for my brother Big Lee and

Three for yourself if you know that real wealth

Is never giving up on your dreams and

Roll the dice, life is a breeze
