Better Person

Demons knockin' at my door, but I won't let 'em in
I need friends who can have fun without sin
I could tell you 'bout my life, but I don't know where to begin
Used to have a hard head, I used to follow the trend
Say I ain't perfect, I'm a mile away
Say I ain't scared, but I'ma go to church today
I used to wanna spin the block like a holiday
But now I just leave it to God, I pray for better days
They hit me up, guess they was jealous and I don't know why
Feel like I'm runnin' out of feelings and I know I try
But I won't let them turn my heart cold
And I don't need validation from these hoes
Before I find love, I'ma find it with God
Before I find trust, I'ma find it with God
Free me from lust 'cause I don't wanna be on that side
Tryna work on me, wanna be better for my child

I was a disrespectful child, I ain't gon' lie
So many times I had seen my mama cry
When I got locked up, my daddy was on my side
When I got locked up, that's when my daddy cried
No, you wasn't failin' me, I was failin' myself
You kept on tellin' me I need to change myself
I kept on runnin' from the pain that I felt
Now I step up to the plate and take that pain by myself
'Cause I know what He put me through, uh
It's gon' make me stronger
Too many hospital nights, a cold room
And it made me stronger
I know I can call on you
And I don't need no number
Even if I'm stranded, I still believe
That you gon' help me, promise
