I'm a man I gotta take care of my Fighting these pressures in my I know my mind should be on shining and Grammy's But these won't say goodbye
I say goodbye, to the blocks Goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the
I can't say goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the
I can't say goodbye goodbye to the Goodbye to the to the hood
I can't say goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the
I guess it's true, you can't take the out a homeboy my hood just lost another homeboy Another one got life and we know, if he coming home boy
They in the street tell me, "Just leave it boy Let them do them care of your own boy" But I said, "Back brake a bound, I was drome boy You had dreams of being a boy"
Yeah, I was from the po po Banging for the turf, late huntin' me in work, good day comin', airbrush, shirt Pay day, get the spot, got my hair cut
Made mom sick I wouldn't go to church Yeah I live in the but I think 21st I know since I left that it's gotten much But I'd still be there, if I write a verse
I'm a man I gotta take care of my Fighting these pressures in my I know my mind should be on shining and Grammy's But these streets won't say a I can't say
To the the that raise me The enemies and the homies made Me tough to hang on the corners that would mold me Critics wonder if I'm be the old me
But if the thing the old me ever Then don't really know me And don't know, we don't change, we just OG You always to the life, you just don't OD
I owe the before they owe me Took me in my momma didn't want me To wild to be a child and cops not now All I got now is the
To teach me, how to be a man an' not How to ounces in the grams an' what not The reason I'm so nice with my hands and not S***, you I forgot, man
I'm a man I gotta take of my family these pressures in my life I my mind should be on shining and getting Grammy's But these streets won't say a I can't say
Thank good every day the boy could spit And all around the they enjoyin' my s*** I know I got plenty more to get I got a beautiful wife and gorgeous kids
But it wouldn't be right if I the s*** They me how I am, the music in the man me that I can for the world gave a damn If it for my ****, they sayin' stick to the plan
Probably be a gun of a pen in my hand Probably be doin' a dub with my man The say leaders streets but they really understand All I had was the block, I didn't have fans
Wrapped on the corners when I get spins All I had was the when I didn't have kids If it all come down and my was to end I'm sure my would live in the streets
I'm a man I gotta take care of my Fighting these in my life I know my should be on shining and getting Grammy's But these streets won't say
I say goodbye Goodbye, I say goodbye Goodbye,
I say goodbye Goodbye, I say goodbye Goodbye,
You can take the man out the But you take the streets out the man
