I Ain’t Better

[Verse 1]
A lot of folks asking the wrong questions
When you get the answers, those gon' be the wrong lessons
Like where the rap superstars? I got an objection
Death to the superstars the only natural progression
That singular size you chase only make corporate pensions
Think if one's reach ain't as wide, we all less than
How many celebs bend and folded in the light before we realized big isn't best?
Damn, that's what I'm questionin'
How can we lose what came from streets when it returns to it?
Means you're no longer part of the we that really yearns for it
Everybody teachin' these days, nobody learnin' shit
I just sit perpetually amazed at how absurd it gets

[Chorus]
Yeah, but I ain't better
But I ain't better, no, no
But I ain't better
Yeah, but I ain't better

[Verse 2]
What is underrated when I answer to my own taste?
Listenin' to suggestions, a pass that I won't take
Everyone always thinks they the one that's gon' convince you
They never gon' believe you really actin' out of principle
'Cause they can only see you through the lens that they live through
And they trade in their humanity for a digital life
But I'll be humble in this bitch, polite
'Cause it's a thin line between honest and resentful spite
The breeze blows 'em in and out and I'll be here for years
Wind-resistant, so never been a problem to cheer for peers
But the sounds I'm surrounded by got me feelin' like ain't no one else in my atmosphere
Got that clear?

[Chorus]
But I ain't better, yeah
But I ain't better, no, no
But I ain't better
I ain't better
