I'm a man I take care 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
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 can't say 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 hood out a Plus my hood just lost homeboy Another one got and we don't know, if he coming home boy
They in the tell me, "Just leave it alone 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 Banging for the turf, night huntin' me in work, good day comin', airbrush, shirt Pay day, get the spot, got my cut first
Made mom sick when I go to church Yeah I live in the but I think 21st I know since I left that it's gotten worse But I'd still be there, if I couldn't write a
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 streets won't say a goodbye I can't say
To the the blocks that me The enemies and the homies that Me tough enough to hang on the corners would mold me Critics wonder if I'm be the old me
But if the the old me ever left Then they 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 before they owe me me in when my momma didn't want me To to be a child and cops not around 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 reason I'm so nice my hands and what not S***, you I forgot, man
I'm a man I take care of my family Fighting pressures in my life I my mind should be on shining and getting Grammy's But these streets say a goodbye I can't say

But it be right if I ignore the s*** 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' stick to the
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 understand All I had was the block, when I have fans
Wrapped on the corners I couldn't 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 would live in the streets
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 streets won't say goodbye
I can't say Goodbye, I can't say Goodbye,
I say goodbye Goodbye, I can't say Goodbye,
You can take the man out the But you can't the streets out the man
