lyrics

Radio tunes impacted my mood when I was down
But hearing the natives coming through
It just made me proud
Instead of many nights wasted drowning
I was in my lab, hoping one day I could escape n make it out
Found out that I can, gotta build my craft
Mastermind with the rhyme, and I’ma make it mine
Got the game in my hand
With a pad and a pen, and even tho I'm losing my own
I'ma continue to spit with lyrics
So people like you can understand
I bet I'ma battle the elements to keep me warm
But matter how bad I burn, the fire's what I'm coming for
Yeah, the strategy, learn the pattern
I'll adapt n morph, Bless the casualties
They collapsed as I gathered my form
I claim to be the man when I'm mainly in the stands
But the music can adjust my attitude like I never can
Developed my style in the rez while listening to the wild
Hear what I found, now I'm out with a better plan

I'm just trying to be a better man
Trying to find a better plan
Trying to do better and…
Doing everything that I can
I'm just trying to be a better man
Trying to find a better plan
Trying to do better and…
Doing everything that I can

Came out the northern area with a bang, feeling delirious
Tryna be deadly but slowly dropping to my grave
I still feel it staring at the mirror, telling myself that I can hear it
Daily pursuing the truth foolish but that is my middle name
I'm off of that heavy-duty drug and looking for a place where I can become a saint
No longer will I be trapped but negative energy remains
Tryna get better for my people Naskapi eeyou ou nii, believe me
Creeping slowly no trouble I'm wanting, katshuapi just love me
Tshiampi no fighting you acting greasy
This lost cycle of lost titles I'm all tribal
Breathing out fire but all gone on like lost vitals
Been off idling love battling daily
Forgetting the music lately but strong with raw gravy
On the mic I lay my life on the line like I’m gaming
Training for a better day, I pray I stay gaining

I'm just trying to be a better man
Trying to find a better plan
Trying to do better and…
Doing everything that I can

I'm just trying to be a better man
Trying to find a better plan
Trying to do better and…
Doing everything that I can

I'm just trying to be a better man
Trying to do better and…
I'm just trying to be a better man

Trying to find a better plan
Trying to do better and…
Doing everything that I can
