Better Late Than Ever - John Anthony

It’s better late than ever

No matter what whatever happens

I know that sometimes I have to look back to where I be at

‘Cause it’s better late than ever

Gotta give you all that have

‘Cause I rather die as failure, than live my life without rap

‘Cause it’s better late than ever

What can I say?

This all that I got

Hate to be precise, but my mind is buried inside this art

Wasn’t always like this, my life was normal just from the start

But then it fell apart

Okay, let me just take it back, I hate the fact

That I ain’t never gonna be the one to ever make it past where I’m aiming at

I don’t know why you blamin' rap

When it’s your fault, you didn’t give a fuck about school

Probably could’ve got a mother fuckin' A in class but, fuck that

I graduated

And it doesn’t even matter

‘Cause I ain’t gonna fade to black, nah

Givin' you what you always wanted

Learned from my mistakes and restarted

Got my mind all tied up in a knot

But I’m not gonna ever let it get distorted

Hot-headed like Ghost Rider, I’m haunted

Take it back to the first time I started

Used to call myself 1 Dolla, probably ‘cause that’s all that I had in my wallet

You don’t know how much I want it

You just wanna find a reason to hate

And that’s okay, you can do what you like

But please, don’t ever try to get in my way

I ain’t playing these games

I’ve done everything I can, just gotta lay out my name

It’s a long road I face

But I know I’ll alway say it’s

(Hook)

It’s better late than ever

No matter what whatever happens

I know that sometimes I have to look back to where I be at

‘Cause it’s better late than ever

Gotta give you all that have

‘Cause I rather die as failure, than live my life without rap

‘Cause it’s better late than ever

Man, I feel I’m over my head

Thinkin' as a kid, I would make it big

I was nobody then

I once was told that being a white rapper was practically slim

Until Christmas came, and I got that fuckin' poster of Em

And hung that shit on my wall

Next to my door, so I walked by it like every night

So when I feel like I’m at a halt

I looked to him and we talk

Yeah it was corny as fuck

But that’s all I had at the time

When my confidence would just fall

Everyone else grew up wantin' to be something realistic that mattered

Like being a nurse, or teacher, or have a family right after

I was that awkward kid, that promised he would become a rapper

And now I look at it, and I just think my chances are shattered

Like where the fuck I go wrong?

All I wanted was this shit

And now it seems like I’m just droppin' the ball

I’ll keep believin' in y’all

If you believin' in me

Whether or not you see it in me

You need to know it’s

(Hook)

Better late than ever

No matter what whatever happens

I know that sometimes I have to look back to where I be at

‘Cause it’s better late than ever

Gotta give you all that have

‘Cause I rather die as failure, than live my life without rap

‘Cause it’s better late than ever

Yeah

It’s better late than ever

Alright

It’s better late than ever

One more time

It’s better late than ever

Whatever, man

Least I know I tried right?
