| I ain’t shit
|
| I ain’t even go to college
|
| Matter of fact I ain’t even think about goin' to college
|
| If I wasn’t be doin' this music shit
|
| I don’t what the fuck I’d be doin'
|
| Ever since I was seven, I wanted to be a rap artist
|
| Ten years later, I’m still out here starvin'
|
| Started off talent shows, battles around the block
|
| To bein' in the house, 'round six o’clock
|
| Rappin', ***** you better get a job
|
| Stop stayin' in the house, lookin' like a fat slob
|
| And mama, I’m serious about this rappin'
|
| She thought at the snap of a finger, it would all happen
|
| Didn’t think about school, homework I left
|
| Report card, came home with all F’s
|
| I saw Redman, walked up to him and bust a rap
|
| He said I was sweet and gave me a lil?
|
| Couple hours, he’ll give my phone a tap
|
| I sit there, waited, he never called me back
|
| I didn’t take a shower, I waited for six hours
|
| Where the fuck is Reggie Noble?!
|
| You get one shot, only get one shot to take it
|
| You get one chance, only get one chance to make it
|
| You get one choice, only get one choice to break it
|
| Be a man, be a man *****
|
| 18 years old, mom threw me out the house
|
| Responsibility, am I a man or a mouse
|
| I’m starvin', tryna get a nine to five
|
| And I’ll do anything just to survive
|
| I wanna go to Open Mic, but I gotta work tonight
|
| Plus I can’t pull up to the club, in a yellow dirk bike
|
| My girlfriend’s pregnant, I think she’s havin' a boy
|
| I gotta get two jobs, gotta buy her some toys
|
| Plus my rap partner say he quit, he’s goin' to church
|
| After 5 years of puttin' in work
|
| You get one shot, only get one shot to take it
|
| You get one chance, only get one chance to make it
|
| You get one choice, only get one choice to break it
|
| Be a man, be a man *****
|
| I notice my goals is gettin' further away
|
| Crystler plant, they gave me a call back today
|
| Sixteen hour shift, leaves me a whip
|
| Beeper on my hip, money starts to flip
|
| Been six months, ain’t no Hip Hop in here
|
| My stomach gettin' fat for drinkin' all them beers
|
| All I do is watch football and beat my wife
|
| God damnit where the hell is my wife
|
| My wife ain’t cheatin', I know she ain’t cheatin'
|
| But every once in awhile she deserves a fuckin' beatin'
|
| My group havin' a meetin' about tryna reunite
|
| But I won’t be there cause I gotta fuckin' work tonight
|
| And I keep on cryin', just bout to lose it
|
| Its been 2 years since I been away from music
|
| The best MC from Detroit, ***** I was the man
|
| Don’t be like me and blow your chance
|
| You get one shot, only get one shot to take it
|
| You get one chance, only get one chance to make it
|
| You get one choice, only get one choice to break it
|
| Be a man, be a man ***** |
