Better Yourself

## Verse 1

Lord, I hope you packed your sweater

'Cause life's a cold one, she'll break you if you let her

So either learn to take it

Or learn to beat her at her game

It's your life you're wasting

So don't forget that sweater

Learn to do the things that improve you

Or stay complacent—it's up to you

And if the latter is the suit and tie you prefer

Learn to live with regret that keeps you tethered

## Chorus

And don't kill my mood just 'cause

You chose not to, not to better yourself

You chose not to, not to better yourself

Better your health, better your wealth

Betty Botter bought some butter to better herself

But you chose not to, not to better yourself

Yeah, you chose not to, to better yourself

Better your wealth, better your health

Betty Botter bought some butter to better herself

## Verse 2

Life is too short, too short for faking

Your self-esteem breaking

Following everyone else, they're cliff jumping

Jumping to conclusions

But as they fall, I'm running

Not running away—I'm running the game

Running the engine, my mind I've tamed

Not trying to conversate

Unless I can learn or relate

Don't talk about the weather*(bitch)*

In that I have no stakes

Now I see it clearly*(you're fuckin fake!)*

Don't think you understand what I bring*(to the plate)*

If you did, you'd see it like everybody else too*(true)*

Lost my ego, that weight subsided

But my perspective grew

Seeing life through a million different eyes

A million suits and ties

A million different reasons why

So why you feel a need to lie?*(why?)*

## Chorus[harmonized]

And don't kill my mood just 'cause

You chose not to, not to better yourself

You chose not to, not to better yourself

Better your health, better your wealth

Betty Botter bought some butter to better herself

But you chose not to, not to better yourself

Yeah, you chose not to, to better yourself

Better your wealth, better your health

Betty Botter bought some butter to better herself

## Verse 3

I'm guessing that I caught you in a bad mood

You ain't trying to listen, agree

Or get up if you have to

You ain't just stagnant

You're still as a statue

Spent years finally gave up trying to move

Collecting all the rust that you're worth

Let it consume you as you

Slowly sink, melt into the Earth

## Chorus[Harmonized]

And don't kill my mood just 'cause

You chose not to, not to better yourself

You chose not to, not to better yourself

Better your health, better your wealth

Betty Botter bought some butter to better herself

But you chose not to, not to better yourself

Yeah, you chose not to, to better yourself

Better your wealth, better your health

Betty Botter bought some butter to better herself
