I'm a man I gotta take care of my family |
[00:05.78] |
Fighting these pressures in my life |
[00:10.97] |
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys |
[00:15.80] |
But these streets won't say goodbye |
[00:18.96] |
I can't say goodbye (to the blocks) |
[00:20.97] |
Goodbye (to the hood) goodbye (to the streets) |
[00:23.93] |
I can't say goodbye (to the hood) |
[00:25.88] |
Goodbye (to the blocks) goodbye (to the streets) |
[00:28.63] |
I can't say goodbye (to the blocks) |
[00:30.85] |
Goodbye (to the streets) goodbye (to the hood) |
[00:33.42] |
I can't say goodbye (to the hood) |
[00:35.35] |
Goodbye (to the blocks) goodbye (to the homies) |
[00:38.95] |
I guess it's true you can't take the hood out the homeboy |
[00:42.21] |
Plus my hood just lost another homeboy |
[00:44.65] |
Another one got life and we don't know |
[00:47.35] |
If he coming home boy |
[00:48.86] |
They in the street tell me just leave it alone boy |
[00:50.98] |
Let them do them take care of your own boy |
[00:53.62] |
But I said back break a bound before I was grown boy |
[00:56.52] |
You had dreams of being a dope boy |
[00:58.63] |
Yeah I was running from the po po banging for the turf |
[01:01.62] |
Late night hunting putting me in work |
[01:03.97] |
Good day coming airbrushed shirt |
[01:06.00] |
Pay day got the spot got my hair cut first |
[01:08.86] |
Made mom sick when I wouldn't go to church |
[01:10.95] |
Yeah I live in the burbs but I think twenty frist |
[01:13.84] |
I know since I left that it's gotten much worse |
[01:15.97] |
But I'd still be there if I couldn't write a verse |
[01:18.24] |
Oh I'm a man I gotta take care of my family |
[01:24.37] |
Fighting these pressures in my life |
[01:29.35] |
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys |
[01:34.24] |
But these streets won't say goodbye |
[01:37.14] |
I can't say goodbye |
[01:39.21] |
To the blocks that raised me |
[01:40.68] |
The enemies and the homies that made me |
[01:43.24] |
Tough enough to hang on the corners that would mould me |
[01:45.95] |
Critics wonder if I'm tryna be the old me |
[01:48.25] |
But if they think the old me ever left |
[01:50.27] |
Then they don't really know me |
[01:51.97] |
And don't know we don't change we just become o g |
[01:54.94] |
You always addicted to the life you just don't o d |
[01:58.70] |
I owe the streets before they owe me |
[02:00.68] |
Took me in when my momma didn't want me |
[02:02.78] |
To wild to be a child and pops not around now |
[02:05.13] |
All I got now is the homies to teach me |
[02:08.25] |
How to be a man and whatnot |
[02:10.25] |
How to break ounces into grams and whatnot |
[02:12.21] |
The reason I'm so nice with my hands and whatnot |
[02:14.96] |
Shit man you think I forgot oh no |
[02:18.45] |
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family I gotta take care of |
[02:22.97] |
Fighting these pressures in my life |
[02:28.15] |
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys |
[02:32.96] |
But these streets won't say goodbye |
[02:35.98] |
I can't say goodbye |
[02:36.96] |
Thank god every day that the boy could spit |
[02:39.56] |
And all around the world they enjoying my shit |
[02:41.87] |
I know I got plenty more wars to get |
[02:43.95] |
I got a beautiful wife and some gorgeous kids |
[02:46.62] |
But it wouldn't be right if I ignored the shit |
[02:49.14] |
That made me how I am the music and the man |
[02:51.93] |
Told me that I can before the world gave a damn |
[02:53.95] |
If it wasn't for my niggas saying stick to the plan |
[02:56.63] |
Probably be a gun instead of a pen in my hand |
[02:58.95] |
Probably be doing a dub and the pen with my man |
[03:01.42] |
They say leave the streets but don't really understand |
[03:03.63] |
All I had was the block when I didn't have fans |
[03:06.63] |
Rapped on the corners when I couldn't get spins |
[03:08.92] |
All I had was the homies when I didn't have kids |
[03:11.34] |
If it all come down and my career was to end I'm sure my name |
[03:14.87] |
Would live in these streets |
[03:17.14] |
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family |
[03:21.90] |
Fighting these pressures in my life |
[03:26.95] |
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys |
[03:31.84] |
But these streets won't say goodbye |
[03:34.96] |
I can't say goodbye |
[03:36.96] |
Goodbye goodbye I can't say goodbye |
[03:41.90] |
Goodbye goodbye I cant say goodbye |
[03:46.75] |
Goodbye goodbye I can't say goodbye goodbye goodbye |
[03:55.12] |
You can take the man out the streets |
[03:57.47] |
But you can't take the streets out the man |
