A Better Sweater

A Better Sweater I once new this man a wise man he was mentor in a way and he saw me in a old Raggedy sweater. This man new I had struggled a lot but new I was smart and didn't Have to struggle. He knew I quit jobs just because I didn't like them partied even though I didn't have any money. He said I was a good kid who had bad ways but had the nicest Soul he had seen in his days. My good's too good and my bad's too bad m Gods gonna have to rip my soul completely in half So 1 can go to hell and 1 go to heaven Party all night but still have a conversation with a reverend If my soul was split in 2 then I can see everybody The realest gangstas who'd fire off a round at anybody Pigs women priest and illuminati You may think you the hottest til you eat lead from a shotty That of course is the half that's going to hell The other half goes where you hear the church bell For my people who went down off somebody elses sell And the kids that never had a story to tell I'm trying to change all that before its too late Before people start using their family as bait I'm trying to leave behind a good legacy So one day we can have more friends than enemies But that's if we ever get past our blasted egos Wanna be a world star by blasting people Fighting people and making videos for some fame But in a month nobody gonna remember your name If you keep it up at this rate Have 20 fights up to date And yes you still are a slave Hey at least that's a lil money to save But then you blown it on some weed and gin Get too drunk hit your ex and fight her new man So that you can go ahead and rewrite your story again Then of course talk about somebody elses sin So he told me son why you slacking saying you wanna be a real nigga but letting your Real potential go to waste. Being real doesn't mean be a nigga it means be yourself so Get your life together and get a better sweater it's too dam cold to be wearing holey Clothes Pull yourself together get a better sweater Get a better header for that resume to make your life better Treat your girl just like a queen Treat your man just like a king Like I said pull yourself together to get a better sweater Pull yourself together get a better sweater Get a better header for that resume to make your life better Discipline your kids so they can be clean Becoming better than the crowd and make they own scene This was a rap to dis on my generation Who killing the world causing the worst sensation More baby mamas at the age of 15 Than people making it to a college graduation scene See people now and days cant control their emotions Saying they don't give a dam but then cause a commotion Take it out on your kids and spouse now wheres the devotion Your getting mad cause your bestfriend got a promotion So you plant a seed that caused an explosion On your 15 year friendship just to show some Something that you didn't even need to do Like staying with somebody who keeps cheating on you Loyalty and integrity have both taken a free fall Now tell me what's the point in even getting a title When you yourself are your biggest rival You have something good and can't wait for the next arrival This person makes you smile Yal laugh for more then awhile But you see someone just walk past you in a isle And Now being a slut just like your idol Noone wants to be cheated Noone wants to be heated on Noone wants to be repeated on Noone wants to be seated on Now if you look back to a better time Oh wait you cant oh never mind Pull yourself together get a better sweater Get a better header for that resume to make your life better Treat your girl just like a queen Treat your man just like a king Like I said pull yourself together get a better sweater Pull yourself together get a better sweater Get a better header for that resume to make your life better Discipline your kids so they can be clean Becoming better than the crowd and make they own scene After that mans words I decided something needed to change so I started with me Obviously I stopped blaming other people and now I make money .
