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 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 to the blocks Goodbye to the to the hood
I say goodbye, to the hood Goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the
I guess it's true, you take the hood out a homeboy Plus my hood just another homeboy Another one got and we don't know, if he coming home boy
They in the street tell me, "Just it alone boy Let them do them take care of own boy" But I said, "Back a bound, before I was drome boy You had of being a dope boy"
Yeah, I was runnin' the po po Banging for the turf, late night Puttin' me in work, day comin', airbrush, shirt Pay day, get the spot, got my hair cut
Made mom sick when I go to church Yeah I live in the but I think 21st I know since I that it's gotten much worse But I'd still be there, if I couldn't a verse
I'm a man I gotta take of my family Fighting pressures in my life I know my mind be on shining and getting Grammy's But these streets won't say a I say goodbye
To the the that raise me The enemies and the homies that Me tough enough to hang on the corners that would me Critics if I'm tryna be the old me
But if the the old me ever left Then don't really know me And don't know, we change, we just become OG You always to the life, you just don't OD
I owe the streets they owe me Took me in when my momma 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 brake in the grams an' what not The I'm so nice with my hands and what not S***, you I forgot, man
I'm a man I gotta take of my family Fighting these pressures in my I know my mind be on shining and getting Grammy's But streets won't say a goodbye I can't say
Thank good every day that the boy spit And all around the they enjoyin' my s*** I know I got plenty wars to get I got a wife and some gorgeous kids
But it be right if I ignore the s*** They made me how I am, the in the man Told me I can for the world gave a damn If it wasn't for my ****, they sayin' stick to the
Probably be a gun instead of a pen in my Probably be doin' a dub [Incomprehensible] 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 couldn't get All I had was the homies I didn't have kids If it all down and my career was to end I'm sure my name would live in the
I'm a man I take care of my family 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 Goodbye, I can't say Goodbye,
I say goodbye Goodbye, I can't say Goodbye,
You can take the man out the But you take the streets out the man
