I'm a man I gotta take of my family Fighting these pressures in my I know my mind should be on shining and Grammy's But these streets won't say
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 can't say goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the Goodbye, to the
I it's true, you can't take the hood out a homeboy Plus my hood just lost homeboy one got life and we don't know, if he coming home boy
They in the street tell me, "Just leave it boy Let do them take care of your own boy" But I said, "Back brake a bound, I was drome boy You had dreams of a dope boy"
Yeah, I was from the po po Banging for the turf, night huntin' Puttin' me in work, good day comin', airbrush, Pay day, get the spot, got my cut first
Made mom sick I wouldn't go to church Yeah I in the burbs but I think 21st I know since I that it's gotten much 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 streets won't say a goodbye I can't say
To the the that raise me The enemies and the that made Me tough enough to hang on the that would mold me Critics if I'm tryna be the old me
But if the the old me ever left Then they really know me And know, we don't change, we just become OG You always addicted to the life, you just OD
I owe the streets before owe me me in when my momma didn't want me To wild to be a child and not around now All I got now is the
To teach me, how to be a man an' 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 shining and getting But these streets won't say a 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 wife and some gorgeous kids
But it wouldn't be right if I the s*** They made me how I am, the in the man Told me that I can for the world 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 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 have If it all come 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 and getting Grammy's But these won't say goodbye
I say goodbye Goodbye, I say goodbye Goodbye,
I can't say Goodbye, I can't say Goodbye,
You can the man out the streets But you take the streets out the man
