I'm a man I gotta care of my family Fighting these in my life I know my mind be on shining and getting 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 to the streets Goodbye to the
I say goodbye, to the hood Goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the
I guess it's true, you can't take the hood out a Plus my hood just lost another 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, before I was boy You had of being a dope boy"
Yeah, I was from the po po for the turf, late night huntin' 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 burbs but I think I know since I left that it's gotten worse But I'd still be there, if I couldn't a verse
I'm a man I take care of my family Fighting these pressures in my I my mind should be on shining and getting Grammy's But these streets say a goodbye I can't say
To the the that raise me The enemies and the homies that Me tough to hang on the corners that would mold me Critics wonder if I'm be the old me
But if the the old me ever left Then they don't really me And know, we don't change, we just become OG You always addicted to the life, you don't OD
I owe the before 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 me, how to be a man an' what not How to ounces in the grams an' what not The reason I'm so nice my hands and what not S***, you I forgot, man
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 won't say a goodbye I can't say
good every day that the boy could spit And all around the they enjoyin' my s*** I know I got more wars to get I got a beautiful wife and gorgeous kids
But it wouldn't be right if I the s*** They made me how I am, the in the man Told me I can for the world gave a damn If it for my ****, they sayin' stick to the plan
be a gun instead of a pen in my hand Probably be doin' a dub [Incomprehensible] my man The say leaders streets but they don't really All I had was the block, I didn't have fans
Wrapped on the corners when I get spins All I had was the homies when I didn't kids If it all down and my career was to end I'm sure my name live in the streets
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
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
