Better Than
Joell Ortiz

(feat. Maino & Kaydence)


[Chorus - Kaydence:]

Could've been still up in the hood shakin up

Stickin stickin up anyone that would come through

Ma poor, I was livin up, middle finger up

Still don't give a fuck, better man it was untrue

Straight livin better now, Gucci sweater now

Drop top the Benz, I'm the man girlfriend

So when they ask me how I do, I'm doin better

I'm doin better than I should


[Joell Ortiz:]

I know they all had me counted out

Gettin all that illegal money I would count it out

In front of a corner bodega I was down and out

With a gun on my waist for the haters I would shout it out

FUCK THE WORLD!! From the loudest mouth

And I meant every word of that and that's without a doubt

Every day it would never change, just the same old thang

Tryin to come up with different ways for me to spray some change

Ramen noodles, beef patties from right up the block

Chicken wings, french fries from the Chinese spot

Good smoke, plastic cups filled up to the top

And dice games that I would stick up if I lost a lot

Say what y'all wanna say, that's just how I was

Before this music popped I was a different Yaowa cuz

Like, Where you from? Who you know?

Where you goin? Thank God that I could flow


[Chorus]


[Joell Ortiz:]

I daydreamed about this on the stairs

With good weed smoke cloudin up the hallway air

Brown paper bag coverin the strongest beer

In my project lobby, now my lobby got a concierge

I remember all the winters troopin up the ave


Snow was everywhere, I'm tryin not to bust my ass

Walk the furthest from the curb cause with the luck I had

That disgustin splash used to soak me when the bus would pass

Now the bus look like an ant when I'm takin flight

And I could turn a boring day into a Vegas night

From that pint of E&J that I would chase with Sprite

to them pretty bottles of Ros on the way with lights

I fantisize, now I'm livin out my fantasy

I know them haters mad at me like Yo, how can this be?

I fuck, two bad bitches in a row

E'ry day I thank God that I could flow


[Chorus]


[Maino:]

Woo! Maino!

Thank God I found heaven, yup

Peace sign, that's me, throwin my blessings up

Could've been in that cell prayin they let me up

Daydreamin 'bout bein free, I'm missin much

Could've been six feet deep in a hole

Trapped in the game, the devil after my soul

Could've been in back of the car traffic and blow

But I'm lion-hearted, I found the yellow brick road

Now it's plenty liquor, singles for these strippers

Goddamn right if she dime, I'm gon' lick her

Young dope boys, they screamin I'm that nigga

Send bad bitches, me and my niggaz!

Thinkin back on my worse days

Now we sip champagne when we thirsty

Hey! I guess I'm livin like I should

When they ask me how I'm doin, I say Better than good!


[Chorus]
