Better to Give - Substantial, Marcus D, Bop Alloy

F all the nonsense that preceded

Be it from me or partners, please stop it and don’t repeat it

Never gave a fuck until a fuck is what I needed

Young dumb and conceited, til the day I conceded

It’s easy to be the selfish type until you get deleted

Many head back to that space ‘cause life’s lesson have gone unheeded

Like father like son I’m on my MJ I’m gon beat it

Won’t remain seated, stand for those who can’t and fill defeated

I know that you see it

You’re just too cold to get heated, you on some worry about me shit

And you got your reasons and I know why

Cause the real heroes don’t make C notes or get love ‘til they die

You can think of better shit to with your time and I don’t blame you bruh

HOOK (Precious)

They say it’s better to give…

No matter how righteous you live…

Treated like you’re worthless but still some how

Walk in your purpose strong and proud

They say it’s better to give (Substantial: You better believe it)

No matter how righteous you live (Substantial: The n could see it)

Treated like you’re worthless but still some how

Walk in your purpose strong and proud

I can’t promise you Heaven or larger profits

A villa out in St. Thomas or even offer you solace

Surely no goddess with a rack and booty that’s flawless

Maybe that… would motivate all us, while attracting droves of the thoughtless

Few are able, journey’s painful, why tell fables and lies

Even less are grateful but an angel will fly

Even though it seems the wind up under your wings ain’t in supply

Elevate or die can’t tell me the sky is not mine, Don’t try… I rise!

Are you a giver or receiver?

Either…

Rapist or rapee, given a choice who would be either

But a victim of such hatred more than likely is in need of

An advocate to stand with them when no one will believe’em you see’em

If I would’ve cared as much about fame and fortune as giving back

It’s probably fair for all us to say I just might’ve had a plaque

Or maybe that there is bull shit couldn’t be further from the facts

Bout I’m out here giving support where ever they lack, facts

Some of yall be hitting me up like you trying to help the cause

Then I hit you back and bamas won’t answer the call

And I ain’t mad, no no, but I hope you

Never know the pain they have, not at all

HOOK

For those capable of more they say more is required

Never wanted much, blessed with more than I desired

Wanna make a difference or you rather make a profit

Or both?

Remembered as a glutton or profit?!

Give it if you got it, if you got it, give again

Give it if you got it, if you got it, give again

I say give it if you got it, if you got it, give again

And again… and again… and again… and again!!!
