There was a man, his paper much longer

Whose house is in order

Livin' on a whole 'nother level than you



Ain't gotta get material things from chicks

Frontin' like you get it, the credit couldn't get it

In and out the district, failed to pay child support

For your own kids and you don't even give a ish



Hey Mister, you a misfit

Once I got your digits, I got you out my system

I know your number when I discovered

Lost all respect for you as a man, forget a lover



I need you to understand

That, baby, there's a better man, better than you

What you talk, he can walk in his shoes



I need you to understand that

Baby, there's a better man who's better than you

The sad thing about it is you could be like him too



There is a man whose decisions are much wiser

Always there when I need him

Never fronts for outsiders

But you wanna be arrogant, ignorant



Do and say the worst things

Like I don't remember it

You probably won't remember this

'Cause you're selfish

You're your own worst enemy, damn, you're helpless



Take advantage of your loved ones

Baby, you're the lost one

Might win some but you just lost one

And it ain't even gotta be like that, no

I can't believe you wanna be like that, no



I need you to understand

That, baby, there's a better man, better than you

What you talk, he can walk in his shoes



I need you to understand

That, baby, there's a better man

Who's better than you

The sad thing about it is you could be



I thought that you would see me do my evolution

But I guess I'm starin' down your layers with pollution

You say I'm trash and I always put you last

Not fast and furious, I'm just young and curious



So don't blame me 'cause you tried to tame me, crazy

You know I ain't tamable, us that got inflammable

Thought I was permanent but now I'm interchangeable

Guess she wasn't right and now with all the foolish things I do



Now you say I'm the worst but I had you at first

It took a minute for you to say you was finished

It ain't your fault 'cause I did it, I pushed it over the limit

But thanks for the privilege of having you was part of my village



Umm, part of my image but I don't mean to look like

To take your heart crook tight, I'm still trying to get right

So I'm eating my spinach though I know that we're finished

I'll just do better the next relationship that I get in, get it?



I wanted to be your partner

But I couldn't go any further

Couldn't ride the tide but you passing germ

While I crashed and burned in the flame



And I can't make it change

You stringin' in a group now

When you are your own man

Is a waste of time for me

'Cause I can't make it better if you don't wanna be



I need you to understand

That, baby, there's a better man, better than you

What you talk, he can walk in his shoes



I need you to understand that

Baby, there's a better man, better than you

The sad thing about it is you could be like him too



Baby, baby, now tell me, why, why don't you wanna be better?

Why don't you wanna be better?

Yeah, ooh, baby, ooh, baby, baby, ooh

What you, what you talk, he can walk in his shoes, yeah

What you talk, he can walk in his shoes, yeah

Ooh, baby, oh, you can be a better man, a better man

Better man, better man
