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 say goodbye
I say goodbye, to the blocks Goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the
I say goodbye, to the hood Goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the
I say goodbye goodbye to the blocks to the streets Goodbye to the
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 Plus my hood just lost another Another one got life and we don't know, if he home boy
They in the street tell me, "Just leave it boy Let them do them take care of own boy" But I said, "Back brake a bound, before I was boy You had dreams of 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 cut first
Made mom when I wouldn't go to church I live in the burbs but I think 21st I know I left that it's gotten much worse But I'd still be there, if I couldn't a verse
I'm a man I take care of my family Fighting pressures in my life I know my should be on shining and getting Grammy's But these streets won't say a I can't say
To the the blocks raise me The enemies and the homies made Me enough to hang on the corners that would mold 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 don't change, we become OG You always to the life, you just don't OD
I owe the streets they owe me Took me in my momma didn't want me To wild to be a and cops not around now All I got now is the
To me, how to be a man an' what not How to brake in the grams an' what not The reason I'm so with my hands and what not S***, you I forgot, man
I'm a man I gotta take care of my these pressures in my life I my mind should be on shining and getting Grammy's But these won't say a goodbye I say goodbye
Thank every day that the boy could spit And all around the they enjoyin' my s*** I I got plenty 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 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 with my man The say streets but they don't really understand All I had was the block, I didn't have fans
Wrapped on the corners I couldn't 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 name live in the streets
I'm a man I gotta take of my family Fighting these pressures in my I know my should be on shining and getting Grammy's But these streets won't say
I say goodbye Goodbye, I can't say Goodbye,
I can't say Goodbye, I say goodbye Goodbye,
You can take the man out the But you can't the streets out the man
