1st Verse Aww man it's a miracle, how came from a town that most fall down and never get up, I never gave up, I slipped up a couple times But I still raise up, Even though I'm scrapped up, I keep fightin, They don't know I'm taped up, Cold sweats when I wake up, I seen death as a youth, Poverty despair, Gottum' killin' for a coupe, All the bloods all the crips at the park to recruit, Thugs I grew up wit, We use to do backflips, And drank cups with, Didn't make it passed they 1st sip I escaped but can't seem to escape The mental scapegoat to act like a ape, Man I can't fall for the trap of the state, NAW, it's not a game, NAW, I can't see it, I can't be it Grown man boy brain, Locked up goin' insane In pain Untamed late night fried rice with lo mien A man A man Amen Wouldn't change ah thing Made me what I am Now I understand A Man I'm a Man 2nd Verse Pops had me on the weekends Had to fend for myself, He was preachin he was teachin Knowledge of Self, Jazz in the background, Books on the shelf, Lil herb Lil liquor gon' get my belt, If my grades wasn't right if I took school light It was lights out couple welps see you later goodnight, The message was clear, Relayed thru fear, Discipline was foreign to my peers but who cared, Lil Spanish lotta Swahili, Arusi Baba Chukula Dawa Flow like lemon with the Agua, He was heavy with the vodka but not Taka original not imposter I had to go through somethin' to get me somethin' That's how I got me somethin' And I ain't frontin' It was tough but it was worth it, If it's easy then it's worthless But if you on yo J.O. Then it's workin' A man A man Amen Wouldn't change ah thing Made me what I am Now I understand A Man I'm a Man 3rd Verse From a boy to a man In between is the matrix, Baby mamas and court cases Livin' in three places, Keep sleepin' to chase dreams Since 18 nothin works so you keep pacing to make cream, The dro feels the air, Depressed and found comfort as a player, Yea that was me pitiful Prideful young minded blinded by the allure of a whore, Wildin' on tour, I had a couple dollars but my spirit was poor I ran my gifts in the ground Said I'm tired of it now I didn't wanna rap, The homies kept Tellin me to take another lap, So I did I never hid, I ain't ah kid I had to tell the lost it cost more than money to be a boss, I'm here to let you know, We all gotta grow It don't stop, I keep it 100 when it comes to this Hiphop.
