Huh Love yours Huh, love yours No such thing No such thing as a life that's better than yours No such thing as a life that's better than yours (love yours) No such thing as a life that's better than yours No such thing, no such thing Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive Fake niggas, mad snakes Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrived Don't be sleepin' on your level 'Cause it's beauty in the struggle, nigga (beauty, beauty) Goes for all y'all It's beauty in the struggle, nigga (beauty, beauty) Let me explain, yeah It's beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success Hear my words or listen to my signal of distress I grew up in the city and know sometimes we had less Compared to some of my niggas down the block, man, we were blessed And life can't be no fairytale, no once upon a time But I be goddamned if a nigga don't be tryin' So tell me, mama please, why you be drinking all the time? Does all the pain he brought you still linger in your mind? 'Cause pain still lingers on mine On the road to riches, listen, this is what you'll find The good news is, nigga, you came a long way The bad news is, nigga, you went the wrong way Think being broke was better No such thing as a life that's better than yours No such thing as a life that's better than yours (think being broke was better) No such thing as a life that's better than yours No such thing, no such thing (Think being broke was better, yeah) For what's money without happiness? Or hard times without the people you love? Though I'm not sure what's 'bout to happen next I asked for strength from the Lord up above 'Cause I've been strong so far But I can feel my grip loosening Quick, do something before you lose it for good Get it back and use it for good And touch the people how you did like before I'm tired of livin' with demons 'cause they always inviting more Think being broke was better Now I don't mean that phrase with no disrespect To all my niggas out there living in debt Cashing minimal checks Turn on the TV see a nigga Rolex And fantasize about a life with no stress I mean this shit sincerely And that's a nigga who was once in your shoes Living with nothin' to lose I hope one day you hear me Always gon' be a bigger house somewhere, but nigga feel me 'Long as the people in that motherfucker love you dearly Always gon' be a whip that's better than the one you got Always gon' be some clothes that's fresher than the one's you rock Always gon' be a bitch that's badder out there on the tours But you ain't never gon' be happy 'til you love yours No such thing as a life that's better than yours (love yours) No such thing as a life that's better than yours (love yours) No such thing as a life that's better than yours (love yours) No such thing, no such thing Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive Fake niggas, mad snakes Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrived
