[Verse 1] What if you made a better deal? What if you made a better de-deal? What if you felt something real? No fake smile, no sealed-up will Just one clean cut, one clean feel You been feeding that hungry lie Paying in time with your own good eye Hands in the dark just to get that shine Now every win got a twisted spine [Pre-Chorus] What if you got there straight? What if you came in first, no hate? What if the door said "wait" But your name stayed clean at the gate? [Chorus] What if you made a better deal? What if you felt real? What if you made a better deal? Wouldn't that hit harder than steel? (than steel, than steel) What if you made a better deal? What if you felt real? Wouldn't you shine, wouldn't you heal? Wouldn't you be more than you steal? (more than you steal) [Verse 2] Look in the glass, you know that face Too many nights in the wrong damn place Chasing applause like a borrowed race With a dirty thumbprint all over the lace You want the house, you want the crown Want the whole room to stand up now But every step got a shadow sound If it costs your soul, what is it worth right now? [Pre-Chorus] What if you got there straight? What if you changed your fate? What if you walked through fire And still came out clean and great? [Chorus] What if you made a better deal? What if you felt real? What if you made a better deal? Wouldn't that hit harder than steel? (and steel and steel) What if you made a better deal? What if you felt real? Wouldn't you shine, wouldn't you heal? Wouldn't you be more than you steal? (more than you steal) [Bridge] Tell me, if the money calls And the easy road just breaks your walls Would you still choose the harder climb? Would you still want yours, but on your time? One life, one name, one shot You can buy a lot, but you can't buy what you got (got) Stand up clean, let the whole world see You don't need dirt to be somebody~ [Final Chorus] What if you made a better deal? What if you felt real? What if you made a better deal? Wouldn't that hit harder than steel? (than steel, than steal) What if you made a better deal? What if you felt real? Wouldn't you shine, wouldn't you heal? Wouldn't you be more than you steal? (more than you steal)
