DaMessage - Better You Lyrics

As i'm looking at my life, mi not where i wanna be
And every goal that i set, gets harder to achieve
Now my family is on the rocks, and its hard to keep a job
And the rent is due and i have no clue what we gonna do now
But if i took more time to look at my situation
Instead of seeing all the wrong that was done to me
And put more emphasis on the things could've done
And take more responsibility of me yeah

True, things in life may not have been real fair to you
But you can only worry bout what you do
Don't blame no one else, put it on ya self
And see that you can be a better you you you can be a better
You you you better, you you you can be better, you
YOU CAN BE A BETTER YOU!

Seems like every move i make someone got something to say
People questioning my kids now they becoming difficult to raise
Family members think i'm and my wife and i cant get along no
And i cant seem to find out what's going on
But if i could cease blaming people for how they treat me
And put the blame on what i do to myself
Then i could recognize that i'm not perfect man
And realize that i may need some help oh

True, things in life may not have been real fair to you
But you can only worry bout what you do
Don't blame no one else, put it on ya self
And see that you can be a better you you you can be a better
You you you better, you you you can be better, you
YOU CAN BE A BETTER YOU!

You can blame it on your heart, you can blame it on ya job
You can blame it on you parents, you can blame it on a lot
You can blame it on everything but when is the blaming gonna stop
And be more responsible for who you are and who you not
You can blame it on your life, you can blame it on your wife
You can blame it on the hurt oh you always blame it on the church
Tell me why how many things can you blame
Till you realize you create your own pain
Yeah you been raped and abused, been lied to and misused
I know you couldn't help that but why is that your excuse at 32
Why you cant walk better, cant talk better, cant live better
Cant be better
Take a look at you, and see that you can be a better you

Quit blaming everybody, oh i said it
Your baby daddy ain't ya problem, ya baby mamma ain't ya problem
No matter what they do just be a better
Ooh yeah, yeah, oh lawd
So what they bad mouth ya name, that just comes apart of the game
But if you focus on the pain
YOU CAN'T BE A BETTER YOU!
Oh no be better, for you
Oh daddy wasn't their, mamma didn't care, who is left to care
But you, so tell me what you gonna do, hey
