(james brown sample) "this is a man's world!" | |
Verse 1: | |
Lies and rumors, money and hoes | |
It's the world that i'm attached to, the world that i know | |
Influential, never stable in the mental | |
But clever, spittin' that same shit niggas is into | |
I'll bleed for the craft if i have to, think rational | |
Lovin' money and weed, pussy and fast food | |
Tatoo a dead man's name on my arm | |
I'm a thug in the street thats still afraid of his moms | |
Everyday i watch a player get robbed, player get popped | |
I try to drink the pain away and pray that it stops | |
In the mornin' head straight to the spot, the juice bar | |
Niggas tried all that other shit and whats the use god? | |
For the paper nature takes it too far, perfectionist | |
Rep the bridge, where everything's foul except the kids | |
We get it on, and contradict livin' long | |
Though the clock will still tic when you gone. | |
Chorus | |
(this is a man's world!) | |
Now if you a man be a man (you need a plan) | |
If you fall (i'ma put you on your feet again) | |
When you starve (i'ma show you how to eat again) | |
And through it all (i'll show you how to be a friend) | |
Now when you in charge be in charge (you need a squad) | |
If you bored (i'ma show you how to be involved) | |
I give 'em more (niggas know they can't see the god) | |
I can't believe it god (i gotta eat or starve) | |
Verse 2: | |
Keep the livest image, high percentage | |
Four in the mornin', | |
Niggas blitzin' on corners like the line of scrimmage | |
Convicts turnin' confident | |
Enter the phase of niggas and they feminine ways | |
Love my timberlands, cinnamon suede | |
Bottles mo' proof | |
For all the problems that a nigga go through | |
It's forever real | |
'cause some scars can never heal | |
I'd rather throw the cards in and pray i get a better deal | |
Guns excite me, keep atleast a hundred wifey's | |
My duns up in the pens ya'll need to write me | |
Street cadets, alias names and re-arrests | |
It doesn't take much to know that wrieffer helps relieve the stress | |
We make moves or get caught for the loot | |
Wild niggas on the block look for more to recruit | |
Gettin' chips from an alternate route | |
But the same breed | |
It's been twenty-somethin' years now, | |
I'm still lookin' for the same dream. | |
Chorus | |
Verse 3: | |
In my world police recognize names | |
Know us niggas by the walk or the size of their chain | |
You know the motto | |
We live for today, there's no tomorrow | |
We're only makin' time for the hoes that swallow | |
**** a role model, i need therapy | |
Seven nights out the week i jump out my sleep breathin' heavily | |
Keep my head up, only the strong survive | |
Livin' in a man's world, still belongs to a tribe | |
Took the family along for the ride | |
Watch 'em eat | |
Now i'm movin' with the same cats that'll rock me to sleep | |
Never close your eyes, learn to roll with the wise | |
'cause some niggas 'll talk shit and play close to the sides | |
While i call the shots | |
And stay supportin' the block | |
We livin' above the law until all of it stops | |
I still open doors, a thug nigga overall | |
And if you ain't know then black man go for yours. | |
Chorus 'till fade... |
