Betterment (feat. AleXanderrRay & Husl) Video (MV)

Let's start this off with something that everyone can understand
I write these bars, lines, and lyrics to become a better man
This music f*cking made me when I was just a little tot
I swear to god that these tunes have even saved my life, like a f*cking lot
And every day I thank my lucky stars to grab a mic
It's as second nature to me now as riding a bike
Music don't ever give a damn whether you're black or white
All you'll ever need to make it is ability to spit and write
Never f*cking let yourself down and no one else will
I'm telling you now that shit is infectious, oil spill
So now I'm turning my pride into a mountain from a molehill
So that now each and every one of you can see that I am so ill

I, I won't run
And I, I won't quit
I, I will fight
For my, my betterment

I tried, but you lied to me
So why cry, when I got more, indeed?
And I decide, what's in store for me
I took a ride, and then I rode the beat
So why?
Uh, see, it's all for the betterment
Let them in, I'm fresher than any peppermint
The fresher prince, see, she checking my steelo
Got a check with some zeroes, still in debt with the streets though
Oh, so, I'mma keep it moving, keep it player
And I'm on the next one, never falling for her again
I'm only falling for rap songs, and that's for sure though

I, I won't run
And I, I won't quit
I, I will fight
For my, my betterment

I work harder than detergent, determined to stain the lane
Writing vivid imagery 'til they remember my name
Propane, butane, methane, I'm gassed up
At the top of the summit is when it'll all add up
Yeah I'm good with the numbers like I'm good with the letters
Propeller for better, from umbrellas to over the weather
Whether I'm weathered or not, I keep on working the seasons
I'm cooking climate, I can climb it when I fall in my season
I let the words pan out then collect all my thoughts
I'm getting better with betterment, that's the best thing taught
I taught myself something new, who knew that you could be you?
I'm fated to work, but this ain't what I'm destined to do
Life can get desolate, extra effort's expected to escalate
Get definite, death can't deafen the sound when you detonate
With plenty demolitions, you be bound to blow
Ain't that what we work hard for?
Work harder than the next man, man in the mirror
Take time to reflect 'til I see things clearer
I know that this is my era, Era of an Emcee
I'm moving through the dead like my name's Tank Dempsey
If I tank the tank, I can finally swim free
That's why Jay put me on, he believe in me
I got a will of fire, I came from the leaf
It hit different when your face on the peak
