Better Way Songtext
von Bizzle

Yo, whatever happened to that dream that God put in us?
You know, before the world told you what you wanted to be
And what you needed to do to be successful
Before you saw somebody else do it and said, "You know what?
I need money, I′ma do that"
Before you knew what money was
And what did you want to be?
And why'd you let it go?
Come on

If you′re getting sick of running, then tired of the hustling
Go for it, I tell 'em, "Go for it"
You got a dream that you're chasing, well, I think you can make it
You should go for it, I tell ′em, "Go for it"
Follow your dream and leave the game
Please don′t be ashamed, anyone can change
Oh, there's a better way (there′s a better way, shawty)
There's a better way (yeah) (there′s a better way)


This dedicated to the hustler that's sick of hustling
But won′t nobody in the circle tell him give it up then
Get a new group that wanna see you shoot
For the stars and two moons, let them follow what you do
Hustling wasn't the plan, I know
Mother was struggling, pops wasn't a man, I know
But even though your father was not home
He left but he′s not gone
You still got a father seated on the most high throne (yeah)

When you was younger, you had a dream, I know it
Selling trees and dope was just supposed to be for the moment
Keeping it going wasn′t even a notion
If you believe what you hoping can be, but to be it'll need your devotion
Media got us aiming to be American gangsters (gangsters)
Failing to tell us ain′t no happy ending for gangsters
They dead or in jail, but it's never too late for change
You can be the one to pave the way if you ain′t afraid

If you're getting sick of running, then tired of the hustling
Go for it, I tell ′em, "Go for it' (let's go)
You got a dream that you′re chasing, well, I think you can make it
You should go for it, I tell ′em, "Go for it"
Follow your dream and leave the game
Please don't be ashamed, anyone can change
Oh, there′s a better way (there's a better way, shawty) (you got options)
There′s a better way (there's a better way)


This for that chick in the strip club, tired of strippin′
But her love for the money tells her not to quit it
Before she hit the stage, she's swallowin' shots of liquor
All ′cause somebody convinced her there wasn′t no promise in her (what?)
She never saw a queen when lookin' inside the mirror (nah)
In search of encouragement, nobody would stop and give up (c′mon)
Night she cries rivers and wonders if God forgives her
Pops not in the picture but gotta be a father figure (yes)

You a mold in your body, life is molding paper
I know it's something other than money that motivates ya
Like what about your dreams, lil′ mama
'Cause I know this ain′t what you wanted to be, lil' mama
But your sin has created you a lifestyle
That you can't afford if you quit, so you tied down
You can be free but it may take you
Giving the devil back everything he ever gave you

If you′re getting sick of running, then tired of the hustling
Go for it, I tell ′em, "Go for it'
You got a dream that you′re chasing, well, I think you can make it
You should go for it, I tell 'em, "Go for it"
Follow your dream and leave the game
Please don′t be ashamed, anyone can change
Oh, there's a better way (there′s a better way, shawty)
There's a better way (there's a better way)

You know you get the feeling like you don′t have an option
But that′s just a lie they say
'Cause I was on that same road, I was on his payroll
Lost in the same old thing
Know that it′s a better way, it ain't as easy
Place our faith in the Lord, you can′t believe me
I'm just telling you what I know, God is who I follow
Forget about your past, let Him change your tomorrow

If you′re getting sick of running, then tired of the hustling
Go for it (go for it), I tell 'em, "Go for it" (go for it)
You got a dream that you're chasing, well, I think you can make it
You should go for it, I tell ′em, "Go for it"
Follow your dream and leave the game
Please don′t be ashamed, anyone can change
Oh, there's a better way (there′s a better way, shawty)
There's a better way (there′s a better way)
