Tryin to do better ( Khris TBB)

Lyrics

(Intro)
Yeah…
(…yeah)
Look…

(Chorus)

I hate the man I see when I look in the mirror (damn)
Same mistakes, same pain gettin’ clearer (clear)
Hurt the ones I love, now they don’t come near us (nah)
I know I ain’t perfect, tryna fight my demons deeper
I be losin’ control, anger takin’ my soul (soul)
Say I’m changin’ for real but I keep fallin’ below (below)
I just wanna be better, but this life get cold
And I carry this weight like it’s stuck in my bones

(Verse 1)

I been livin’ wrong, I admit it, I ain’t hidin’ it
Short fuse, blow quick, yeah I got a temper problem with it
Say some things I don’t mean, now I gotta sit in it
Watch the tears fall down, damn… I be the reason for it
Jail walls, cold nights, I remember that feelin’
More time locked down than I ever was livin’
Tryna act tough, but inside I be breakin’
Heart full of rage, man, I hate what I’m creatin’
Mama told me “slow down,” I ain’t never really listen
Now I’m stuck with regrets and a life that I’m missin’
Told my girl I’d change, but I lied in repetition
Every time I mess up, I can see the distance shiftin’

(Chorus)

I hate the man I see when I look in the mirror (damn)
Same mistakes, same pain gettin’ clearer (clear)
Hurt the ones I love, now they don’t come near us (nah)
I know I ain’t perfect, tryna fight my demons deeper
I be losin’ control, anger takin’ my soul (soul)
Say I’m changin’ for real but I keep fallin’ below (below)
I just wanna be better, but this life get cold
And I carry this weight like it’s stuck in my bones
(Verse 2)
I ain’t proud of the nights I was yellin’ and reckless
Turn love into war, now the silence be deafening
Lookin’ at myself like “who is you reflectin’?”
Tryna be a man but I’m stuck in regression
They gave me they trust and I shattered it quick
Now I’m piecin’ it back but it never gon’ fit
Apologize deep but it don’t really fix
All the scars that I left when I talk like a brick
I be fightin’ myself, yeah it’s me vs me
Tryna break these chains but they keep on me
Got a good heart buried under bad energy
I just pray one day they see the better me
(Bridge – stripped, almost whisper)
I don’t wanna hurt nobody no more… (nah)
I don’t wanna lose everything I love… (love)
If I keep goin’ like this, I’ma end up alone… (alone)
I’m just tryna change, God know…

(Final Chorus)

I hate the man I see when I look in the mirror (damn)
But I know deep down I could make it clearer (clear)
I done hurt my people, I admit it, I feel it (feel it)
I just wanna heal ‘fore I lose every spirit
I be losin’ control, anger takin’ my soul (soul)
But I’m fightin’ back now, I ain’t foldin’ no more (no more)
I ain’t perfect at all, but I’m chasin’ that goal
Be a better man ‘fore this darkness take hold

(Outro)

Yeah…
Tryna be better…
One step… one step…
