The Grouch - Better Than You lyrics

[Intro] If I were you I'd say I like the way I am. And it is silly to think that there is any better way. But you see, just as God is going to change you someday into something better, so he is going to change me Nobody...nobody [Grouch talking] When you walk into the spot...lift your head up...look around. And know...fools ain't f**ing with you in there [Verse One] You got to know what yourself is worth Stop digging in the dirt using help that hurts In the long run we all run the same race at a different pace You got to save face, there's only one till you get done You underestimate how great it is to be here That's why fools go and snort sh** and f** with guns for leisure You got to seizure your moment on the timeline Make it last forever cause now you're in your prime And yesterday is lost, tomorrow I'm the boss Cause today I wouldn't settle for the lesser And though I felt the pressure Knew that I was better than to bargain Whatever the jargon From whoever, I'm starving and hard like a criminal But see I'm not that And this is not subliminal Cause I do not act I move with tact, style, sk** and grace And I'm conscious of it too so my energy's not wasted Look what you taste...insanity Cause I'm down for upliftment of humanity Plan to be a spark to get you started on the right path You probably stepping on it now though if you like that [Hook] {x2} Nobody's better than you And nobody's better than me Not even you when I'm telling the truth How can it be? You ask the question Say it to yourself and believe in it Listen [Verse Two] A confident man moves easy through the land Believe me it's no scam, you gotta take command Stop hating on yourself and feeling sorry for yourself Lift your head up and stick your chest out Try not to stress out That'll get none done to talk about You wanna walk without the worry and the hurry for the next opportune moment And be up on it How ironic that's what I was told Before I got old enough to comprehend scared life don't make boys to men And if you are a man, know it and show it and lend a hand And don't let nobody define you That means boundaries, something I draw a line through Just to remind you That's what I'm here for f**ing with your ear for To get you closer, near the door Of the room that you know you wanna walk out of You better than to stay Get that doubt off your mind (Nobody) Clear it out (Nobody) Because... [Hook] [Verse Three] Look, don't sell yourself short Whatever the sport They probably need you more than you need them They always offer less than what you think is fresh And the more you say "yes" then the pickings is slim Next time you come around, then raise it up a pound Play it up not down They'll treat you like a clown if you let 'em Set 'em straight and make 'em wait Might take 'em eight times to get the point but when they do It's all you And everything you knew Severing the blue from the day Allusions astray You cruising the way you wanna cruise And using what you have, not not having...what you lose See...because you don't lose anything [Hook] [Outro: singing] City of the angels, clear your skys for me
