J Cole - A Better Way Lyrics

[Verse]
Livin' life but it feels like the end of it
It's a cold world when you don't got a friend in it
Hell, what am I to do?
What if I don't give a damn what I am to you?
I do this shit for me, it's like therapy
That's why I keep the pen around
'Cause you were never there for me but it is
And you don't like the fact that I did this
But it's whatever, I could stay forever on your shit list
This time, I'll do it for me
I don't care about the money, I would do this shit for free
If it ain't about the words then it's all about the beat
Lose yourself in the music, put it on repeat
Tryna put your ass to sleep but the music got you thinkin'
Thinkin' 'bout your problems and that shit got you drinkin'
Drinkin' 'til you solve 'em or drinkin' 'til you're numb
You could figure it out, but now drinkin' got you dumb
And you wonder what happened, everything used to be fine
Everything I want now used to be mine
And it slipped away, wishin' you could rewind
Lookin' at your girlfriend, wishin' you could read minds
Lookin' at your watch, wishin' you could freeze time
Lookin' at your problems, tryna throw the peace sign
Deuces, and get the hell up outta there
But you got no cash flow, you don't even got a prayer
Dang, it's weighin' on you heavy
You weren't even ready and it hit you like a ton of bricks
Everything was cool, how the hell'd it go from fun to this?
[Outro]
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way
Get the hell outta your bed and get a better day
