Intro

Hm, love yours

Hm, love yours

No such thing

Chorus

No such thing as a life that's better than yours

No such thing as a life that's better than yours (Love yours)

No such thing as a life that's better than yours

No such thing, no such thing

Post-Chorus

Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive

Fake niggas mad, snakes

Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrived

Don't be sleepin' on your level

'Cause it's beauty in the struggle, nigga (Beauty, beauty)

Goes for all y'all (Eh, rah, eh, rah)

It's beauty in the struggle, nigga (Beauty, beauty)

Let me explain, yeah

Verse 1

It's beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success

Hear my words and listen to my signal of distress

I grew up in the city and know sometimes we had less

Compared to some my niggas down the block, man, we were blessed

And life can't be no fairy tale, no once upon a time

But I be goddamned if a nigga don't be tryin'

So tell me, Momma please, why you be drinkin' all the time?

Does all the pain he brought you still linger in your mind?

'Cause pain still lingers on mine

On the road to riches, listen, this is what you'll find

The good news is, nigga, you came a long way

The bad news is, nigga, you went the wrong way

Think bein' broke was better

Chorus

No such thing as a life that's better than yours (Ha)

No such thing as a life that's better than yours (Think bein' broke was better)

No such thing as a life that's better than yours

(Think bein' broke was better, yeah) No such thing, no such thing

Verse 2

For what's money without happiness?

Or hard times without the people you love?

Though I'm not sure what's 'bout to happen next

I ask for strength from the Lord (Man) up above

'Cause I been strong so far, but I can feel my grip loosenin'

Quick, do somethin' before you lose it for good, get it back and use it for good

And touch the people how you did like before

I'm tired of livin' with demons 'cause they always invitin' more

Think bein' broke was better, now I don't mean that phrase with no disrespect

To all my niggas out there livin' in debt

Cashin' minimal checks, turn on the TV, see a nigga Rolex

And fantasize about a life with no stress

I mean this shit sincerely, and as a nigga who was once in your shoes

Livin' with nothin' to lose, I hope one day you hear me

Always gon' be a bigger house somewhere, but nigga, feel me

Long as the people in that motherfucker love you dearly

Always gon' be a whip that's better than the one you got

Always gon' be some clothes that's fresher than the ones you rock

Always gon' be a bitch that's badder out there on the tours

But you ain't never gon' be happy 'til you love yours

Chorus

No such thing as a life that's better than yours (Love yours)

No such thing as a life that's better than yours (Love yours)

No such thing as a life that's better than yours (Love yours)

No such thing, no such thing

Post-Chorus

Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive ('Live, 'live, 'live)

Fake niggas mad, snakes

Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrived ('Rived, rived, rived)
