[Verse 1]
You call me intelligent
When it's relevant
You say I can do more, and you phrase it with eloquence
Why do I settle for being short of incredible?
I could use my whole heart and mind
And not a sectional
Apparently, I'm a man of potential
Could be higher
If God is my audience, then I'm preaching to the choir
'cause I could be
Reaching out to those that feel like they weren't chose
They fell and never arose
So they hurt, and it shows
Why should I be selfish? When I could be selfless?
Helping someone else could really tell me what the "self" is
Got so much inside, I gotta let it out
I'm clearing all of these weeds
I'm tryna learn how to sprout
I am the only problem, I gotta learn how to see
Showing you God's love while showing what I can be
Gave it all to the King, while the world wanna be a Prince
And I haven't felt the same ever since
(And Christ said:)
[Chorus]
I know what you want
You just wanna be
Better
You can come to me
For whatever you need
Forever
You know that I love you (x4)
[Verse 2]
Kinda hard when you're living life with a mirror
That's pointing at everything killing you in sight
Reflecting all of these images
Saying "Go be a ruler."
Spending so much time winning, you fail at being a loser
Can't be a connoisseur cause you're living in sin
Wrapped around you like a waistband that holds you within
They told me 'bout God's peace, that's exactly what I needed
I'm a glass half-empty, and God came to complete it
I'm not a shining example, but I live in His shine
I can tell you the direction without reading the sign
I'm working on getting memorized
All of these verses that I recognize, so everytime I say 'em
I get energized
I'd rather be redeemed instead of rotten
And I'd rather be forgiven than forgotten
Tryna get that rebound, something like Dennis Rodman
But I'm living for chapter 3:23 in Colossians
What?
[Chorus]
I know what you want
You just wanna be
Better
You can come to me
For whatever you need
Forever
You know that I love you (x4)
[Verse 3]
I don't wanna think about the past
I'm just moving on
I've got a whole lot in my life that I'm improving on
I've got people sayin' that they like the old me
That's what they told me
But, I can say it now:
It was too hard to control me
I may not be perfect
But, I know I'm workin'
And I know that I'm confident even when I ain't certain
Cause I trust in a God that's gon' watch my back
And that's Psalm 55 for you to check that fact
[Chorus] (x2)
I know what you want
You just wanna be
Better
You can come to me
For whatever you need
Forever
You know that I love you (x4)
Better was written by Josiah Williams.
Better was produced by BeatBoyz.
Josiah Williams released Better on Mon Mar 14 2016.
“Better” was originally supposed to be on the first “Rerouting.” I saved it, worked on it a bit more, and finally felt comfortable to release it!
In fact, I felt so comfortable that I made it the first track on the album!
