Do Better Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Home girl do do less
Why ya gone do do that
When you can do better
Don’t don’t to prove you da best
It’s gonna cause you stress
Don’t mess with that

[Verse 1]
Don’t mess with that stress
No don’t mess with that
Got the devil on my left
Fear is in my lap
Let the patience on my chest
Be the death of me
Steady on my feet
Knowing I can barely see

I’m bet bet betting on love
To keep up
When the going gets tough
I won’t let ya down
When you having bad days
I’mma be around

(Just) just repeat the sound
You’re fine you’ll find ground (x4)
You’ll find, you’ll find that maybe you



[Chorus 2]
Home girl do do less
Why you gone do do that
When you can do better
Don’t don’t to prove you da best
It’s gonna cause you stress
Don’t mess with that

Home girl please do less
Why ya gonna do do that
When you can do better
Don’t don’t to prove you da best
It’s still gonna cause you stress
Don’t mess with that

[Verse 2]
We’re starting off fresh
I could do with that
I just need a little gas
Finna get me back
Or I can get lost
That’s better than being stuck in a time warp
There’s no love lost

Only empty
Seeming pretty raw
Can’t find the centre
Of any feeling not anymore
But with some luck it will subside
I’m like vertigo
Or I might be the gold
Uhuh I’ll let you know


I’m bet bet betting on love
To keep up
When the going gets tough
I won’t let ya down
When you having bad days
I’mma be around

(Just) just repeat the sound
You’ll find, you’ll find that maybe

[Chorus 3]
(x2)

[Bridge]
Won’t ya do better do better
Do less yeah do less yeah
Do better, better
Do less yeah do less oh

[Chorus 4]
(x2)
