| Nah, it ain’t the same
|
| Being a man today
|
| Nah, it ain’t the same, nah, it ain’t the same
|
| Being a man today
|
| Nah, it ain’t the same
|
| Waking up to this disarray
|
| This uncertainness only seems to serve the misery
|
| Maya place on me, mother take from me
|
| All of this false shit, I do not need it
|
| I believe in magic because I’ve seen it
|
| Nothing new, the ego, you know already how it goes
|
| I’ve got a strong mind, strong girl
|
| From my head to my toe, back to my ego
|
| These earthly habits, they’ve got to get going
|
| I’ve let go of desires, but I have truly let go of the fires
|
| That burn them and fuel them
|
| It’s so hard to be human
|
| With a battling mind
|
| I have lost all devotion over time
|
| I’m on the path of remembrance
|
| And I’m remembering fine, having nothing that’s mine
|
| Only borrowing time, my kind
|
| Chatting to God, unworthy of His time
|
| With all these doubts in my mind
|
| Cannot cast aside, left to struggle in my rhymes
|
| Nah, it ain’t the same being a man today
|
| Nah, it ain’t the same, nah, it ain’t the same
|
| Being a man today |
| Nah, it ain’t the same (Nah, it ain’t the same)
|
| Being a man today (Being a man today)
|
| Inner battles dwell like city kids beneath the poverty line
|
| I’m feeding my senses
|
| Food for thought is money well spent-ed
|
| 'Cause most of our so-called knowledge is rented, invented
|
| Depends-es on flippant friends-es
|
| Social scenarios, hollow like Cheerios
|
| You hear me though
|
| Never thought I’d be coming out your stereo
|
| But there we go, maktub, y’all
|
| It’s written, you know
|
| Nah, it ain’t the same
|
| Being a man today
|
| Nah, it ain’t the same, nah, it ain’t the same
|
| Being a man today
|
| Nah, it ain’t the same (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| Being a man today (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| No, it ain’t the same
|
| Being a man today
|
| No, it ain’t the same
|
| No, it ain’t the same
|
| No, it ain’t the same
|
| (I say man, I mean human and woman)
|
| (And you man and you man)
|
| (And me man, said, we man, yeah, we man, yeah)
|
| (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| Being a man today
|
| Being a man today
|
| Being a man today
|
| (Yeah, man, yeah, man) |
| Being a man today (Yeah, man, yeah, man)
|
| Being a man today (Yeah, man, yeah, man)
|
| Being a man today
|
| Being a man today
|
| It ain’t the same, nah, it ain’t the same, yeah
|
| No, it ain’t the same
|
| Being a man today
|
| No, it ain’t the same
|
| (Man made, man made)
|
| Being a man today
|
| Inner battles dwell like city kids beneath the poverty line
|
| I’m feeding my senses |
