Better Man

You said you wanna be a better man
So die then
Die to the version that keeps pretendin

You talk big when the room's dark
Blueprint dreams but you won't start
Mirror cracked from the same lies
Every Monday you rebrand your life
You offended when I call facts
But you nap through your own comeback
Say you grind but your hands clean
All talk in a blank screen
You want pain but you dodge heat
Wanna change but you love sleep
You keep prayin for a new lane
But won't walk through the cold rain
You say growth, that's a caption
You say work, that's imagination
Every year it's the same plan
Still the same man

So you wanna be a better man
Die
Kill the ego, let it fry
Die
All that lazy alibi
Die
Or just stay the same and cry

So you wanna be a better man
Lie
That ambition's just a vibe
Lie
If you scared to sacrifice
Lie
I won't watch you waste your life

You said you tired of the bottom
But comfort is your problem
You romanticize the hunger
But panic when it's on you
You get mad when I confront it
Call it hate when I'm blunt
If discipline's a prison
Why you beggin for a sentence
You offended by the pressure
But diamonds need compression
You want applause for intention
Not a scar for progression
You keep askin for respect
But won't bleed for a check
Every dream you protect
With excuses and regret

If you wanna be reborn
Let the old you bleed
If you really want that crown
Why you scared to lead

So you wanna be a better man
Die
Kill the ego, let it fry
Die
All that lazy alibi
Die
Or just stay the same and cry

So you wanna be a better man
Lie
That ambition's just a vibe
Lie
If you scared to sacrifice
Lie
I won't watch you waste your life

I'm not cruel, I'm just clear
You want comfort more than fear
Growth don't live in next year
It lives here
Either bury who you were
Or keep talkin to the dirt
I'm done draggin dead weight
I elevate

So you wanna be a better man
Die
Burn the version you deny
Die
If you mean it prove it now
Die
If you can't then step aside
I'm walkin with the ones who try
We don't beg, we don't cry
Leave him behind
You wanted better
