Better People

[Intro]
Turn me up just a lil' bit
Ah-em!

[Verse 1]
Yeah, coolest guy you ever met
Single father, son and daughter, plus an army vet
Video games, sleepovers at his house on Friday nights
Buying pizza out his pocket, things his kids will probably like
You never would've known that he was married before
Ex committed adultery, so they get a divorce
Try to drain em' of his money, he collected deployed
Then got him out the house to get him into child support
Didn't want to be another just statistic, so he fightin' the court
You wouldn't know that he was nice in the court
NBA dreams, playing with his bro, they were known for the sport
He gave it up when a murderer gave his bro to the Lord
But everybody wanna be around his positive vibes
And to be honest, he got these women outside and in line
And to be honest, seeing how he lives, I'm kinda surprise
Reading books, tryna get wise, ain't tryna get high
Money good, ain't tryna get by, got God on his side
An atheist couldn't try to deny
College courses, a nice apartment, he used to look outside of the ride
He understands life and knows that we ain't got too much time
And his past wasn't a waste of it, it taught him a lot
Knock down so many times until it's harder to drop
And if you get up, you're a potent to shock
It was God behind Satan beating the stone off a rock

[Chorus]
Better people
They can make monsters or we can make
Better people
They can make us crack or we can make
Better people
They can make monsters or we can make
Better people
They can make us crack or we can make

[Verse 2]
Look, she said that "I ain't have nothing"
But I got this baby and now I'm thinking that his dad coming
Can someone please take care of him til' I'm back on my feet
Just give me 25 to 52 weeks
A married couple thought about it, prayed about it and decided to do it
They just tryna do what Christ would be doing
Not knowing if their lives would be ruined
They're 22 and 23
Everybody in the church is saying that "They should proceed, that two concede"
That this baby got some real problems
6 months later, I'm prepared mama, that's scared trauma
May take effect if they gave him distract
Give him to his mama, then he may be in danger
One year turns, it defines his behavior
