Lyrics:

Havin' kids young, it must have been hard
Sleepless nights, scattered thoughts like our toys in the yard (yard)
Thrown into a life you were not prepared for (you were not prepared for)
No footsteps to follow
The only shoes to fill were left by the door (shoes to fill were left by the door)
I know you did your best, but you left such a hole in me
And it scares me to death, but I'm tryna be
Better than, better than, better than you
Better than, better than, better than you
I'm gonna make peace with the past that hurt me
I'm just tryna be better than, better than you
You tore our family into pieces, and you know that's the truth
(You know it's true, you know it's true)
You broke every promise you made like you had nothin' to lose
(Like you had nothin' to lose)
I know you did your best, but you left such a hole in me
And it scares me to death, but I'm tryna to be
Better than, better than, better than you
Better than, better than, better than you
I'm gonna make peace with the past that hurt me
I'm just tryna be better than, better than you
(Better than you)
A family tree of generations filled with disappointment
We are the sound of the pain and the love
Over thousands and thousands of years
A family tree of generations filled with disappointment
We are the sound of the pain and the love
Over thousands and thousands of years
But I just want to be
Better than, better than, better than you
Better than, better than, better than you
I'm gonna make peace with the past that hurt me
I'm just tryna be better than, better than you
Better than you, better than you
Better than you, better than you
I'm gonna make war with the way you fell short
I'm tryna be better than, than you
