Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(Oh yeah)

Yo (Oh yeah)

Let it breathe (Oh yeah)

Just let it breathe (Oh yeah)

Let it breathe, ay (Oh yeah)

Let it breathe (Oh yeah)

One time, let it breathe (Oh yeah)

Yo (Oh yeah), like

If I can do better then I'll be better

Rolling in the deep, I need to breathe better

I see demons in my sleep, I need to sleep better

Having visions of my friends in RIP sweaters

Have you ever had to sacrifice your health?

Ever had to sacrifice yourself?

Plus I got a army full of dickheads tryna sabotage my wealth

But I know it's self-destructive if I bang 'em by myself, wow

Like God hold me down till I'm downed

God, hold me down till I drown (Hold me down till I drown)

It's like I nearly fell into the ground

By the Holy blood of Christ, you don't ever let me down

Lord knows I'll be back up in minutes and disappear

Wonder if I'll flip like my mandem, just disappear

Number 17 on my little list of fears

Then she tells me not to speak and she whispers in my ear like

I know everything is okay (Okay)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I know everything is okay (Okay)

But I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I know everything is okay (Okay)

I'ma need you to do better (Do better)

I'ma need you to do better (Do better)

I'ma need you to do better (Yeah, yeah)

I know everything is okay (Okay)

But I'ma need you to do better (Do better)

I'ma need you to do better (Do better)

I'ma need you to do better

If I coulda done better, woulda got better

My brother looked in my face and said, "You're not better"

I said, "Give me two secs", build it spliff, take a hit, reminisce

And then I bet I feel a lot better

Man, I used to spend my time on the roof

It weren't a penthouse suite, but I was fine with the views

What you do with your pain? I put mine in a Zute

Then I smoke it all away to take my mind off the truth

Was a troublesome youth, had desire for war

Bought my mummy a coupe, she nearly cried on the floor

Spent time in my sneaks or spend a night in my thoughts

You walk a mile in these, I walk a mile in yours

Ah man, all the things I been battling through the years

Wonder if my bro woulda made it if I was there

Number 25 on my little list of fears

Then she tells me not to speak and she whispers in my ear like

I know everything is okay (Okay)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I know everything is okay (Okay)

But I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I know everything is okay (Okay)

I'ma need you to do better (Do better)

I'ma need you to do better (Do better)

I'ma need you to do better (Yeah, yeah)

I know everything is okay (Okay)

But I'ma need you to do better (Do better)

I'ma need you to do better (Do better)

I'ma need you to do better

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, hey, hey, hey

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, hey, hey, hey

I know everything is okay (Okay)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I know everything is okay (Okay)

But I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I know everything is okay (Okay)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I know everything is okay (Okay)

But I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)

I'ma need you to do better (Better)
