[Chorus] I been told I ain't gon' make it through I been told I ain't as good as you But I know better I know better [Verse 1] Yeah, I was made for this Sit alone inside tryin' to get a piece to fit Life was a brick But the truth is I'm filled with doubt, like I'm useless I'm figuring how can I use this music Cuz a lot of times I feel like I'm stupid Like how can I see, and believe, that I'll be, or achieve Something real, when I feel, like I beat you in the wings [?] It's not real, but it's real that I feel the chill [?] And I deal with it still, and I kneel, and I feel And I start to agree, with that spark, that I feel But it's dark, tellin' me, that I got something big At the heart, keep in sync [?] And my arm's got ink too [Verse 2] Remind me there's people out there Wanted to give up, but then my album told 'em not, yeah Only a coward will be powered by them random 'tards I created a place for us So get the hell out They picked me up when I was about to go They predict that my style is about to blow They can fix every pile that I shine and roll So I spit like my mind is blind, behold And I don't rap, to get signed by no rat That'll define, all the sh** that I find When I'm trapped in my mind And my back and my spine Got a lack of decline Cuz I snap like a vine To attack, every slim-y f** But still [Chorus] I been told I ain't gon' make it through I been told I ain't as good as you But I know better I know better
I been told I ain't got buck and shine And I been told that I ain't worth the time But I know better I know better [Verse 3] Yeah, heaven can wait Cuz I got sh** to do They try to settle my faith I ain't got sh** to lose I was made for the stage And then locked in the booth And it's not about the fame, because I speak the truth When I get my hands around a microphone Some respect is given, and I'm feelin' strong Cuz I wreck this [?] song But then I get the feelin' that I'm not alone UH, yeah, but the truth is I'm filled with hope like I'm proofless [?] I'm fairl-y sho', I can use this, music Cuz a lot of times, I feel, like I'm losing [?] Yeah, and if you want or can relate There's a reason we connect through the music that I make One day I'll get on the road And meet all of yah I wanna battle every war with yah, and go toe with yah Motherf** everybody that don't believe Yeah, I've got my supporters, what more do I need? Hip-hop in my blood, and I'm feelin' the beat Got lot's of mud and grit on my feet Yeah, I'ma yell out Gotta look, wait, further for the sell out Gotta look, wait, further for the bail out I'm gonna stick to the end, my friend No matter what they say I'm Mads [Chorus] I been told I ain't gon' make it through I been told I ain't as good as you But I know better I know better I been told I ain't got buck and shine And I been told that I ain't worth the time But I know better I know better (x2)
