lyrics

BETTA THAN THAT

Intro (Champagne Duane)
Profanity's not my thing/ Vanity's more my thing/
Sexual, chocolate, damn that boy can sing/
Roll up on a chick like madam where's your ring/
You lookin like a queen, I imagine there's a king...
Yea? Well lemme talk crazy to you/
Out of spite, end of the night I'll be amazing to you/
I ain't blowin smoke, this ain't no Whoopi cushion
But if you keep on ackin stank, then I'm Swayze to you (ghost)

Hook 1 (Elin)
I wouldn't smoke cheap cigarettes
Won't even drink cheap wine
Don't even like cheap licorice
Why would I buy a cheap line

(Elin) Come betta than that
(Duane) What's better than that?
(x4)


Verse 1 (Elin)
Already know who you know (is that so?)
Yea I hear it all the time
Already ruled out your game, boy
Don't try to play with my mind (okay)
Already know why you came (is that right right)
Just came to waste my time
Can't even hear what you say boy (oh no)
No, no, what you sayin ain't divine

Pre-Hook (Elin)
Come betta than that
Where the veterans at
I got a rookie tryna hook me
Where his medicine at
(Duane)
You will never go back
Once you get it in black
But to each ya own chick
I got cheddar to stack, so hold that

Hook 2
I wouldn't smoke cheap cigarettes
Won't even drink cheap wine
Don't even like cheap licorice
Why would I buy a cheap line
Come better than that, come better than that, come better than that
What's better than that
Come better than that, come better than that, come better than that
What you mean come better than that

Bridge (Elin)
You're sorely mistaken, you MUST be confused
Not for the taking, I STAY making moves
Please step your game up if THAT's how u feel
That's how I feel, so come back when it's real

Pre-Hook

Hook 3

Verse 2 (Champagne Duane)
Watch glisten/ not to mention/
I got my own pot to piss in/ I'm just missin a fox in the kitchen/
Mama listen/ a bottle of Crys n/
Me n you can wind up missin/ wind up kissin/ I mean,
Wind up kickin/ kickin it like Saucony/ and then
Wind up pitchin/ throwin it to the homies/
If you ain't that type of kitten/ then nevermind I'm kiddin'
Unless you gonna do it/ then let's get to it/ listen...
This is just par for the course/
First you gon stop trippin n then hop on the horse/
After the first ride usually starts the remorse/
But the force of the D got you talkin D-vorce/
Lawwwd, I love the way you doin it/
Then again what's love got to do with it/
Don't be silly now, love's just gon ruin it/
More power to the one's that's pursuing it, HAAA!

Hook 4

about

Champagne Duane Oakland, California

It is often said that an artist can change the game, but all too often it doesn’t happen. In the case of Champagne Duane, people should at least start paying attention. He is the definition of hard work and has brought his solid work ethic to the booth. Creative, witty, edgy, smooth and perceptive only begin to describe his approach to the game, but one word you should use is, complete. ... more
