Lyrics
[Intro]
They will always haunt my dreams
The green twins with your eyes
They will always haunt my dreams
The green twins with with your eyes
[Chorus]
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, gotta do better today
Gotta do better before it's too late
[Verse 1]
Said I gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Pick up the pieces and master the puzzle upon us
Look the man in the mirror in the eye and be honest
Slow down time, get back in line with my chakras
Reach for the galaxy
Leave star dust for thus after me
Enter the void, fill in the cavity
Risk the reward if that's how it has to be
I gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta do
Everything in my power to try to do what God would do
Ride the tide, don't fight with the current that guided you
Melt the ice 'round the furnace burning inside of you
I gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta do better
There's nothing they can do that I can't do better
Better yet, there's nothing I can do that I can't do better
Yeah, I'm better
I said I'm better
[Chorus]
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, gotta do better today
Gotta do better before it's too late
[Verse 2]
Shades stuck to my face, hoodie glued to my head
Hiding from the same world that made me who I am
Deep rest, can't even get out of bed
Too blessed to be so stressed
I do all this shit just to say, "Get off my dick"
Mixed emotions prohibit my focus
This what you wanted, what's wrong with you? You don't make sense
Feel like I could flip at any moment
Faces playing and it's fucking with me
Doing drugs was just a war with boredom, but it's sure to get me, Lord forgive me
Amen, wear the crown of thorns for sport, I'm just waiting for a stone to hit me
Relationship on the rocks, my family all concerned
My homie's still on the block, getting it off the curb
I'm stricken by survivor's guilt, I'm getting it off of words, word
Come on, Herb, you
[Chorus]
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, I gotta do better, I gotta
Gotta do better, gotta do better today
Gotta do better before it's too late
[Bridge]
I'm dying but I'm gone with the wind
And I'm gone with the wind, you leave
You feel me on your skin, skin
'Cause I'm gone with the wind, I'm
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind, I'm
You feel me on your skin, skin
I'm gone with the wind, I'm
[Outro]
They will always haunt my dreams
The green twins with your eyes
They will always haunt my dreams
The green twins with your eyes
They will always haunt my dreams
The green twins with your eyes
