Verse 1:
I deserve better, I went through more garbage/
Than any other poor and worn ignored artist/
Get ya scored cards, I bet ya gon' mark 'em/
Shit got hard it kept my world darkened/
Growin up, me and Deuce would keep to eachother/
My brother's demeanor was inconvinient for others/
I only existed when convinient for others/
Too stupid to see I had the strings of a puppet/
I mean I was nothin, had a strange awareness/
I raised myself, but I don't hate my parents/
I hated summer, I'm the only person I can count on/
Motherfucker, why you think my name's a number/
Isolation sucks, I got no curious friends/
Ain't about to let nobody hurt me again/
Can't wait 'til I make it on my throne and my shrine/
It's mine motherfucker, I don't owe you a dime/
Chorus:
I deserve better, cause I done worked harder/
Then any of you motherfucking bastards coulda thought ta'/
I deserve better, I worked harder/
I deserve better, I done worked harder/
I deserve better, cause I done worked harder/
Then any of you motherfucking bastards coulda thought ta'/
I deserve better, I deserve better/
I deserve better, I deserve better/
Verse 2:
And I deserve better, cause I can rap better/
Than any rapper, it don't really matter how you measure/
Gettin sick of all the fuckin hatin and I'm fed up/
And if you didn't know by now then you better/
Learn, I speak truth with every word/
It wouldn't be fair for me to never be heard/
You don't have a goddamn clue what I've sacraficed/
I sit alone and I rap cause I have no life/
On the path, I didn't understand it at first/
But I get it now, it was prolly planned at my birth/
But I know in the end I control the plan/
Wakin' up to see how far from my goals I am/
My souls been damned, I'm attempting to change it/
Swimmin in lake of a fire tryin to save it/
I hope the game don't think it can take me out/
I've never gotten what I want, I can wait you out/
Verse 3:
And I deserve better, been actin real nice/
And I don't even know what happy feels like/
That's my real life, 20 years past/
No matter what I do I will never get 'em back/
Walk around in a daze and go to sleep confused/
If I sleep I'll never have my dreams come true/
I'ma worthless fool, never made nobody cry/
But on the same token, the reverse is true/
And you may get angry at the air around you/
When you care about people who don't care about you/
Being ignored is the reason I don't teach anymore/
I preached to the wall and never seen a reward/
So I'll do me, you do you/
I don't care anymore, I'm not a Voodoo Deuce/
And if it don't get better, I'ma try harder/
Still don't get better? I guess that's my problem/
