You Deserve Lyrics

[Intro]
This is for the girl down the hall
Misused and abused, yeah, yeah yeah
Pick ya head up love, smile
This for you, this for you

[Verse 1]
Girl, I know sometimes that I mistreat you and you still come back
And I see your homegirls try to reach you, but you ain't hearing none of that
They try to get through, they say I ain't the move, I don't know 'cause girl, it might be true
When they tell you, you should walk away but you stay anyway

[Pre-Hook]
Girl, I think it's best for me to say this, I ain't no good
And your heart ain't something I should play with, so let's get it understood
I ain't tryna ruin your life, if anything I just want to make it right
And tell the judge I ain't even gotta plead my case, I can tell my baby to her face

[Hook]
See I was just your nigga next door
But girl, I see more for you, I see more for you
And you ain't gotta have no fear
Know I'll always be here for you, girl I'm here for you
And I know you may not end up with me, it ain't gotta be me
'Cause I'm still playing outchea in these streets
But I'm just saying you deserve better
I'm saying, you deserve better

[Verse 2]
I know that love can be blind but you should open your eyes, open your eyes
Take a look in the mirror, baby girl, you're a prize
And any man that don't see that, you should let his ass go, believe that
Because his love ain't real, what he won't do another nigga will

[Pre-Hook]
Girl, I think it's best for me to say this, I ain't no good
And your heart ain't something I should play with, so let's get it understood
I ain't tryna ruin your life, if anything I just want to make it right
And tell the judge I ain't even gotta plead my case, I can tell my baby to her face

[Hook]
See I was just your nigga next door
But girl, I see more for you, I see more for you
And you ain't gotta have no fear
Know I'll always be here for you, girl I'm here for you
And I know you may not end up with me, it ain't gotta be me
'Cause I'm still playing outchea in these streets
But I'm just saying you deserve better
I'm saying, you deserve better

[Bridge]
You deserve all the love
You deserve all the care
You deserve all that and more
You deserve better, you deserve better
You deserve to laugh
Baby you deserve to smile
You deserve the best of everything
You deserve better

[Hook]
See I was just your nigga next door
But girl, I see more for you, I see more for you
And you ain't gotta have no fear
Know I'll always be here for you, girl I'm here for you
And I know you may not end up with me, it ain't gotta be me
'Cause I'm still playing outchea in these streets
But I'm just saying you deserve better
I'm saying, you deserve better

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah yeah
You deserve better
Smile
You deserve better

Produced by The BeatFreqz “You Deserve” is the 4th track off August Alsina debut album “Testimony” which was released April 15th, 2014. He released his album on his late brothers birthday.
The song is self explanatory “You Deserve”. Throughout the song he states all the great things a girl he see is going through a lot with her partner should have; hints the Bridge

“You deserve all the love, You deserve all the care, You deserve all that and more, You deserve better, you deserve better, You deserve to laugh, Baby you deserve to smile, You deserve the best of everything, You deserve better.”

The track gives a scenario of a well seen act, the neighbor next door see’s a beautiful women getting mistreated by her partner and he likes her and see’s that she deserves the best. August puts a spin on it, he says that that he is there for the girl but he knows that he may not be the best for her due to his street life but she ultimately deserves better than what she has.
