lyrics

Yeah.
Civil blood makes civil hands unclean, shit if I don't give a fuck does that make me evil?
Fairweather bottom feeding bootlicking schemers
left when I stayed to get my people out the evils.
Passionate, heart of gold as a weakness
You down but I meant when I said they didn't mean it.
Can't fix what I've seen, past dreams. It's my words where you fly, fuck appeasing these demons.
You a beautiful phoenix.
I know I wasn't strong when you needed
I got my moments of bleeding
Why you not here to see this?
Let me show you we can beat this
It's not clean when it's family that's beefing
It's not easy
Stuck in the past, keep picking up the pieces
Can't seem to leave it, just
no one saw you for you. I can't fucking leave it
You're on the beat breathing
I'm on this stage needing thoughts of your teething
Hungry for the buzz, not the meaning

Miss me with that innocence
Miss me with that civil shit
blood tied, cut flows on the innocent
I am better than, yeah.
I am better than.
Miss me with that innocence
Miss me with that civil shit
blood tied, cut flows on the innocent
I am better than, yeah.
I am better than.

It's like fuck ya life, just try anything
Give me something more, I like real energy
You ain't a friend to me without this poison going into me
Take a trip and don't pretend, no more enemy

I used to make bank off this shit
Pulled rank hard with this shit
Blocked out thought with this shit
Was behind walls in a sense
And now the real sitting next to me
Lotta seats empty, I'm stronger mentally
I like the space better than an enemy

[Guilty Simpson verse]:
She loves me, then she loves me not.
Complains too much because I puff a lot
I'm giving this all I got, damn.
Kitchen just got too hot, so stop
Knowing where you stand is priceless
even though it damn near left you lifeless
even though you still feel right fighting back
still know that your silence probably would've done the trick
and I resent who you're running with
acting like they want you to pick
nose in the air like a stewardess, damn who is this?
I want to chill but you want to go on still
trying to find what I no longer feel

I know myself and I
I am better than. I am better than what I am now.

Miss me with that innocence
Miss me with that civil shit
blood tied, cut flows on the innocent
I am better than, yeah.
I am better than.
Miss me with that innocence
Miss me with that civil shit
blood tied, cut flows on the innocent
I am better than, yeah.
I am better than.

I know myself and I
I am better than. I am better than what I am now.
I know myself and I
I am better than. I am better than what I am now.
I know myself and I
I am better than. I am better than what I am now.
