lyrics

BETTER 2 BE

[chorus] sometimes we open our eyes and can't see / the feeling of our heart, inside, with no beat / open up a window outside, with no breeze / and if you know you're blessed, then what's better to be
open up a window outside, with no breeze / the feeling of a heart, inside, with no beat / sometimes we open our eyes and can't see / and if you know you're blessed, then what's better to be, haaaannh…

if you know you've got it then what's better to give / get ahead on your biz, how's better than if / gotta pass down what we put together to kids / we investing in them, they need better to live / and we got all we need, so all excuses aside it takes a man to provide / who's ready to ride instead of playing pinocchio being nosy and wishing / sometimes we open our eyes with no vision / condemning ourselves, feeling depressed / even if you don't feel it yourself, really you're blessed / it's like we say we're alive but can't breathe / believing lies between the lines but can't read / sometimes we're hearing the message but can't do / complaining as if the solution ain't you / think of eternity, spending it beautifully / and if you're blessed then what's better for you to be

[chorus]

[blaxsmith] now, I've been traveling here for a few years, i can cut the tension with a few shears, had a couple rainy days forecast clear, potholes in the road / it's over now, last year / they say i'm getting too old, they're counting class years / not to mention what i've done these few past years / pay attention, listen, learn to what you have here / negative energy's an enemy like a bad peer / so, why you knock it, judging me by what's in my pocket / you tried to hock it, instead of sticking to the knowledge / this ain't the kind of information that you get from college / this is the art of salvation from when you're paying homage / i'm on the right road, i got a light load / getting heavy in the chevy, climbing heights though / i'm still in fight mode, until it's time to go / control your own and be careful for what you're fighting for.
