Joshua - Better Off Lyrics

Look at my face homie I'm broke
Just another day in America I suppose
Apparently dreams perish if serotonin is low
It's scary I seemed fairly coherent moments ago
But now I'm hearing whispers I wasn't hearing before
I'm walking on splinters and sweatin' out in the cold
I reckon I shoulda known
My mind state fragile like my ego is
Odds steep but imma beat 'em like the eagles did

Better off running than going nowhere
Better off living to see another day
All I know is the sunrise coming
All I need is a new wave
Better off running than going nowhere
Better off living to see another day
All I know is the sunrise coming
All I need is a new wave

Sippin a gatorade prolly missin my momma
Dreamin of taking the homies to Benihana's
Another day in the rat race chasing the guala
I could work until my back break, still need a dollar
I swear it's never enough
Five years of pinching pennies for lunch
But eatin plenty on the first of the month
Yeah they told me cash rules everything around me bro
Well if that's true, everything around me broke

Better off running than going nowhere
Better off living to see another day
All I know is the sunrise coming
All I need is a new wave
Better off running than going nowhere
Better off living to see another day
All I know is the sunrise coming
All I need is a new wave

Second by second I'm feelin withered
Every day the reaper is closer to my agenda
I'm just trying to breathe
In '88 he took my grandma
Then we had a stand-off
I contemplated ending it in 2014
But now I'm runnin'
Take me by the neck or die trying
Until my last breath I'm Kobe Bryant
Pass me the the ball
I'm headed straight to the rack
Stretchin life to the moon and then I'm taking it back
It's like that

Better off running that going nowhere
Better off living to see another day
All I know is the sunrise coming
All I need is a new wave
Better off running than going nowhere
Better off living to see another day
All I know is the sunrise coming
All I need is a new day
