| Ain’t no commrottery, envy and jealousy dividing me
|
| And rose the killer exposed, the after world side of me
|
| Those I probably, confided and lied inside of me
|
| For years, constantly evaluated me improperly
|
| I teach game, like people taught it to me
|
| My personality might not be, what you thought it could be
|
| See it’s easy to walk with me, when it’s sunny and warm
|
| But how many people gon stay down, through the cold and the storm
|
| Am I perfect, I’ll be the first to tell you I ain’t
|
| Just because I try to kick knowledge, don’t make me a saint
|
| Now who am I, I’m not the man you think you know
|
| I’m trying to get up out the quicksand, 'fore I sink too low
|
| I’m educated by the streets man, I done took my class
|
| Trying to maintain, but the rap game done whooped my ass
|
| The only part of me you know, is what I show you
|
| But internally family and friends, can’t even fathom what I go through
|
| Now who am I, only a man just like you
|
| I wrestle with myself, to figure out what I must do
|
| Fuck knocking on a do', I’m trying to bust right through
|
| So don’t put me on no pedestal, I’m just like you
|
| Now who am I, only a man just like you
|
| I’m still struggling, ain’t no telling what I just might do
|
| Fuck knocking on a do', I’m trying to bust right through
|
| So don’t put me on no pedestal, I’m just like you
|
| They say it helps to open up, it makes the soul feel good
|
| Soon as you do it, people spread your bidness all through the hood
|
| Living without love made hatred, the main thang that I thought of
|
| And I done did a lot of things in the past, that I ain’t proud of
|
| I don’t give women the respect, they deserve
|
| I never hit one with my hands, but I’ve abused em with words
|
| Many days I would, write lyrics to raise my hood
|
| But I’m certain that my bad side, outweighs my good
|
| I’m getting so tired of thinking, till my mind won’t run
|
| I’m getting tired of people telling me, that my time gon come
|
| Maybe I suffer, cause of temptation I never resisted
|
| Maybe my time already came, and I ain’t know it and missed it
|
| It ain’t wise to share your dreams, with everybody know why
|
| Cause even close friends, will wish negative thoughts in the sky
|
| And when I see a arrogant ho, I squeeze his lid
|
| I run with the thugs and the sinners, like Jesus did
|
| God gives heaven to me, and other than he there never will be
|
| One who can definitely say he knows who I am, better than me
|
| Two things take place, when struggling starts
|
| It either brings you closer together, or further apart
|
| If I leave nothing behind, after the graveyard got me
|
| Y’all gon mourn two or three weeks, then forget all about me
|
| You out of sight you out of mind, once your heartbeat quit
|
| And you can never be remembered, if you ain’t did shit
|
| Give you my last if I got it, ain’t no greed in my bones
|
| Last of my bloodline, I never had a seed of my own
|
| I feel depression, cause it wasn’t my intention to see
|
| The next generation be born, with no extension of me
|
| But hopefully, I can keep living on this earth through
|
| The parts of my life that I write down, and give birth to
|
| I ain’t fraud but see, being right is hard to be
|
| Excuse my evil side, just focus on the God in me
|
| Now who am I, only a man just like you
|
| I chase money, ain’t no telling what I just might be
|
| I get aggravated commit sins, and lust like you
|
| So don’t put me on no pedestal, I’m just like you
|
| Now who am I, only a man just like you
|
| I wrestle with myself, to figure out what I must do
|
| Fuck knocking on a do', I’m trying to bust right through
|
| So don’t put me on no pedestal, I’m just like you
|
| (*talking*)
|
| Yeah homie, I’m working on myself
|
| Just like you working on yourself man, you know
|
| We gotta minister to eachother man, and try to pull eachother up
|
| So uh when you see me, don’t look at me as being no better than you are man
|
| Cause it might be something that you can give me, that I don’t have
|
| So remember I’m just like you, yeah feel that |
