[Intro]
Okay, sometimes hard conversations gotta be had
Especially when you got love for the person, ha
Let me holler at you

[Verse 1]
It’s sad watching greatness reduce itself to a remnant
Being average ain't something a person should be content with
Living with the resentment of life, knowing you been quit
You coulda ran the race full speed but you just limped it
We all agree you coulda seen wondrous deeds
But in your own self you were never one to believе
You don’t want the heat, you wanna lay in the comfortablе breeze
But talent wasted is when talent underachieves
He’s smart as hell, this boy coulda had a hundred degrees
But now you see him roaching around, bumming for weed
Never thought you’d be the one always wanting something for free
A reality even your family’s coming to see
Everybody’s shocked ‘cause you fell off like no other
And ain’t nobody more disappointed than your mother
It’s frustrating, what can they do, looking at you?
When your skill is a 10 but your motivation’s a 2

[Chorus]
Something better, for your life
You should want something better, for your life
You ought to want something better, for your life
Ay, you should want something better (yeah it’s gon’ be for your life)
You ought to want
[Verse 2]
You was special until you accepted that low level
It’s so disrespectful to self whenever you settle
The mental elites chase the mystique of infinite peaks
Still seeking it even when their potential is reached
And as a grown person you got to show us some pride
You 35, pillar to post asking for rides
You know when you not being your best and living wrong
Sometimes you gotta look at yourself and just say, "Come on"
And a bad break from back in the gap, you still stress that
And let your confidence get shattered by one setback
You weak and you won’t even admit it
It ought to crush you when your child needs something and you can’t even get it
See, you a man first, after that, nothing even should matter
You walking 'round lifeless, you a breathing cadaver
Had us thinking that you was gon' stay on the right track
But when life picked a fight, you refused to fight back

[Chorus]
Something better, for your life
You should want something better, for your life
You ought to want something better, for your life
Ay, you should want something better (yeah it’s gon’ be for your life)
You ought to want

[Verse 3]
How you go from being focused to languishing on a sofa?
Too many people satisfied with being mediocre
I’ma still kinda tryna wrap my mind around how a
Man could be cool with making just seven dollars an hour
Don’t get me wrong, people have to go through it to climb (for sho)
We understand if that’s the best you could do at the time
But in your mind, you should be planning for something nicer
‘Cause life’s about growth and you still rocking a diaper
It’s one thing to be by yourself living in darkness
But bro, you got your family in this broke-down apartment
Passing up opportunities to add onto your plate
Barely making it daily but telling people you straight
And a lot of y’all don’t have a problem living with lesser
‘Cause some are scared of greatness and having power is precious
So they never take a big chance or play the game to win
Always say now is what you used to be and coulda been
[Chorus]
Something better, for your life
You should want something better, for your life
You ought to want something better, for your life
Ay, you should want something better (yeah it’s gon’ be for your life)
You ought to want

[Outro]
For your life
For your life
For your life

[Interlude]
It don't take a genius to see that this world is Buck Wild and we need the God to save us more than ever
All we got to do is watch the news
All we got to do is walk down the street
All we got to do is talk to people and observe people and see the struggles that they going through
And last but not least, look at our own struggles
Look in the mirror and see the changes that we need to make
The improvements that we need to make
We want God to save us, we got to help to save ourself
So let's let that process start right now
Keep praying, keep pushing
Lord Save Us
