Stormzy - Do Better Lyrics

Yo
Let it breath
Just let it breathe
Let it breathe, ayy
Let it breathe
One time, let it breathe
Yo, 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 'til I'm downed
God, hold me down 'til I drown (Hold me down 'til I drown)
It's like I nearly fell into the ground
But 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 seventeen 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
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I know everything is okay
But I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better

I know everything is okay
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I know everything is okay
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to 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 twenty-five 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
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I know everything is okay
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better

I know everything is okay
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I know everything is okay
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better

I know everything is okay
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I know everything is okay
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better

I know everything is okay
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I know everything is okay
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
I'ma need you to do better
