I'm a man I take care of my family Fighting these in my life I know my mind should be on shining and getting But these streets won't say
I can't say goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the
I say goodbye, to the hood 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 it's true, you can't take the hood out a homeboy my hood just lost another homeboy Another one got life and we don't know, if he coming boy
in the street tell me, "Just leave it alone boy Let them do take care of your own boy" But I said, "Back a bound, before I was drome boy You had dreams of being a boy"
Yeah, I was runnin' 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 when I wouldn't go to church Yeah I live in the burbs but I 21st I know since I left that it's gotten worse But I'd be there, if I couldn't write a verse
I'm a man I take care of my family these pressures in my life I know my mind should be on and getting Grammy's But these won't say a goodbye I say goodbye
To the the blocks raise me The enemies and the homies made Me tough enough to hang on the corners that mold me Critics if I'm tryna be the old me
But if the thing the old me ever they don't really know me And don't know, we don't change, we become OG You always addicted to the life, you just OD
I owe the streets they owe me Took me in when my momma didn't me To wild to be a child and not around now All I got now is the
To me, how to be a man an' what not How to brake ounces in the grams an' not The reason I'm so nice with my and what not S***, you I forgot, man
I'm a man I take care of my family these pressures in my life I know my mind should be on and getting Grammy's But these streets won't say a I can't say
Thank every day that the boy could spit And all around the world they enjoyin' my I know I got more wars to get I got a beautiful wife and some kids
But it wouldn't be right if I ignore the They made me how I am, the in the man Told me that I can for the world a damn If it wasn't for my ****, they sayin' to the plan
Probably be a gun of a pen in my hand be doin' a dub [Incomprehensible] with my man The say leaders but they don't really understand All I had was the block, when I didn't fans
Wrapped on the corners when I get spins All I had was the homies when I didn't kids If it all come down and my was to end I'm my name would live in the streets
I'm a man I gotta take of my family Fighting these in my life I know my mind should be on and getting Grammy's But these streets say goodbye
I say goodbye Goodbye, I can't say Goodbye,
I say goodbye Goodbye, I can't say Goodbye,
You can the man out the streets But you take the streets out the man
