Lyrics
(Kirk Franklin feat. Tobe Nwigwe)
[Chorus]
Please be kind to yourself, just a little bit
Will you ever doubt God? Yeah, just a little bit (not "Would you")
But when I look back on my life, yeah, I admit (not "I am in")
It gets better, better, better
Please be kind to yourself, just a little bit
Will you ever doubt God? Yeah, just a little bit
But when I look back on my life, yeah, I admit
It gets better, better, better, better, better
[Verse 1: Kirk Franklin]
Ooh, I see your light shining out there, looking like your Father's child (not "like you're fighting like a child")
I said, ooh, but life's been crazy, haven't seen you happy in a while (not "haven't seen you have to get in on the wild")
Be careful, don't forget God is in love with you (not "it is a blow with you")
Day and night, His angels are watching over you (not "it is all what you know for you")
Be gentle with your heart, remember from the start
They can't take your smile
[Chorus]
(Kirk: "Please! Do me a favor!")
Please be kind to yourself, just a little bit
Will you ever doubt God? Yeah, just a little bit
But when I look back on my life, yeah, I admit
It gets better, better, better
Please be kind to yourself, just a little bit
Will you ever doubt God? Yeah, just a little bit
But when I look back on my life, yeah, I admit
It gets better, better, better, better, better
[Verse 2: Tobe Nwigwe]
Most gain confidence when they start to ball, shout out Chico Bean
I could lose my spot right at the top and still have everything
Before I hit the upper room, was on the mezzanine
Born again, Christ is twin, God don't do vasectomy (not "highest twin" / "forsaking")
Sheesh, Holy Ghost weaponry protecting me
Bad Yella next to me, forever bae like Chesapeake (referencing his wife, Fat/Yellow, and the bay)
I tell YNs (youngins) they should buy in, but respectfully
Before you crash out, just map out yo' destiny
Child, please
[Chorus]
(Kirk: "Haha! Do me a favor!")
Please be kind to yourself, just a little bit
Will you ever doubt God? Yeah, just a little bit
But when I look back on my life, yeah, I admit
It gets better, better, better
Please be kind to yourself, just a little bit
Will you ever doubt God? Yeah, just a little bit
But when I look back on my life, yeah, I admit
It gets better, better, better, better, better
[Bridge]
(Kirk: "Let me get my Clark on!")
Show me, I need you to show me
When my heart gets lonely
When I cry at night, will you be there to hold me? (not "be the true homey")
When the tears come, hold me tight
Please see me, I need you to keep me (not "I need you to keep")
Tell me, can you see me? (not "Can you, can you see me?")
See me clear
When I fall, when I go through it all, promise that you'll never leave (not "When I go")
Don't ever let me go
[Interlude: Tobe Nwigwe & Kirk Franklin]
Listen,
God only gave you one you (Tell 'em, Kirk)
Please take care of you (Take care)
And when you come out of this, yeah
I promise, it'll get better, yeah
Do me a favor! Yeah!
[Chorus]
Please be kind to yourself, just a little bit
Will you ever doubt God? Yeah, just a little bit
But when I look back on my life, yeah, I admit
It gets better, better, better
Please be kind to yourself, just a little bit
Will you ever doubt God? Yeah, just a little bit
But when I look back on my life, yeah, I admit
It gets better, better, better
[Outro: Kirk Franklin]
Listen, help me out one time
When you wake up in the morning, what the Son say? (referencing the Son of God)
(It gets better, better, better)
Yeah, all that pain that you feeling got to go away
(It gets better, better, better)
Every bill, every storm, what the Word say?
(It gets better, better, better)
And as long as you're allowed to see a new day
It gets better, better, better, better, better
