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 |
