If I were you, I'd say I like the way I am,
and that it is silly to think there is any better way.
But you see, just as
God is going to change you someday in to something better,
so he is going to change me.
Nobody.
Nobody.
When you walk into the spot,
lift your head up, look around, and know
You got to know what
yourself is worth
Stop digging in the dirt using help that hurts
In the long run we all run the same
race at a different pace
You've got to save face,
there's only one till you get done
You underestimate how
great it is to be here
That's why fools go and
snort shit and fuck
with guns for leisure
You've got to seize your
moment on the timeline
Make it last forever,
cause now you're in your prime
And yesterday is lost,
tomorrow I'm the boss
Cause today I wouldn't
settle for the lesser
And though I felt the pressure,
knew that I was better than to bargain
Whatever the jargon, from whoever,
I'm starving and hardened like a criminal
But see I'm not that,
and this is not subliminal, cause I do not act
I move with tact, style, skill and grace,
and I'm conscious of it too
So my energy's not wasted,
look what you tastin'
Sanity, because I'm down for
upliftment of humanity
Plan to be a spark to get you
started on the right path
You probably steppin' on it now
though if you like that
Nobody's better than you,
and nobody's better than me
Not even you when I'm telling the truth
How can it be?
You ask the question
Say it to yourself and believe in it
Listen!
Nobody's better than you,
and nobody's better than me
Not even you when I'm telling the truth
How can it be?
You ask the question
Say it to yourself and believe in it
Listen!
A confident man moves easy
through the land
Believe me it's no scam,
you gotta take command
Stop hatin' on yourself and
feelin' sorry for yourself
Lift your head up and stick your chest out
Try not to stress out,
that'll get none done to talk about
You want to walk without
the worry and the hurry
For the next opportune moment
And be up on it, how ironic,
that's what I was told
Before I got old enough to comprehend
Scared life don't make boys to men
And if you are, man,
know it and show it and lend a hand
And don't let nobody define you
That means boundaries,
something I draw a line through
Just to remind you,
that's what I'm here for
Fuckin' with your ear for,
to get you closer near the door
Of the room that you know
you wanna walk out of
You better than to stay
Get that child off your mind,
clear it out
Because nobody's better than you
And nobody's better than me
Not even you when I'm tellin' the truth
How can it be?
You ask the question,
say it to yourself and believe it
Listen, nobody's better than you,
and nobody's better than me
Not even you when I'm telling the truth,
how can it be?
You ask the question,
say it to yourself and believe it
Look, don't sell yourself short,
whatever the sport
They probably need you more
than you need them
They always offer less than
what you think is fresh
And the more you say yes,
then the pickings is slim
Next time you come around,
then raise it up a pound
Play it up, not down
They'll treat you like a
clown if you let them
Set them straight and make them wait
Might take them eight
times to get the point
But when they do, it's all you
And everything you knew
Severing the blue from the day
Delusions are stray
You cruisin' the way you wanna cruise
And usin' what you have,
not not havin' what you lose
Because you don't
lose anything
Nobody's better than you,
and nobody's better than me
Not even you when I'm telling the truth,
how can it be?
You ask the question,
say it to yourself and believe in it
Listen, nobody's better than you,
and nobody's better than me
Not even you when I'm telling the truth,
how can it be?
You ask the question,
say it to yourself and believe in it
Nobody's better than you,
and nobody's better than me
No one, nobody's better than me
Not even him or her,
and nobody's better than you
Nobody, nobody, nobody,
nobody
City of the angels,
clear your skies
for me.
