A Man |
Oh man it’s a miracle |
How I came from a town, where most fall down |
And never get up, I never gave up |
I slipped up a couple of times, but I still raise up |
Even though I’m scraped up, I keep fighting |
They don’t know I’m up, cold sweats when i wake up |
I see death as a, poverty, despair |
Gotta kill 'em for a |
All the bloods, all the crips at the park to recruit |
Thugs I grew up with, we used to do backflips |
And drank cups with pass the first sip |
Higher Xscape, but can’t seem to escape the middle scape |
Go to act like an ape, man I can’t fall for the trap |
Or a state, nah, It’s not a game, nah |
I can’t see it, I can’t be it |
Grown man, boy brained, locked up, going insane |
In pain, late night, untamed |
A man, A man |
Won’t chance a thang |
Maybe when I am, now I understand |
A man, I’m a man |
Pops had me on the weekend, had a fifth on myself |
He was preaching, he was teaching me: knowledge yourself |
Jazz in the background, books on the shelf |
Lil' herb, lil' liquor, go and get my belt |
If my grades wasn’t right, if I took school light |
It was lights out, couple, see you later, good night |
The message was clear, relate to fear |
I had to go through somethin', to get me somethin' |
That’s how I got me somethin', and I ain’t frontin' |
It was though but it was worth it |
If it’s easy than it’s worthless |
But if you are on your JO, than It’s workin' |
From a boy to a man, in between is the matrix |
Baby momma’s in court cases, living at three places |
Keep dreaming and chase dreams, since eighteen |
Nothing works, so you keep pacin' to make CREAM. |
Depressed and find conflict as a player |
Yeah, that was me, pitiful young minded |
Blinded by the alore of a whore, wildin' on tour |
I had a couple dollars, but my spirit was poor |
I ran my gifts in the ground, said I’m tired of it now |
I didn’t wanna rap, the homies kept tellin' me to take |
Another lap |
So I did, I never hit, I ain’t a kid |
I had to tell the money to be a boss |
I’m here to let you know, we all gotta grow |
It won’t stop, I keep it 100 when it comes to this hip-hop |
