Better
My goal's to be a better man
Be better than the rest
Be better than the others
And be better than the best
I better not be second
Yes I better be in first
I better be the greatest
Never ever be the worst
Now if I were a betting man
You bet I'd bet on me
I'm going to be a better man
The best that I can be
