(james brown sample) "this is a mans world!"
Verse 1:
Lies and rumors, money and hoes
Its the world that Im attached to, the world that I know
Influential, never stable in the mental
But clever, spittin that same shit niggas is into
Ill bleed for the craft if I have to, think rational
Lovin money and weed, pussy and fast food
Tatoo a dead mans name on my arm
Im 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 everythings 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 mans world!)
Now if you a man be a man (you need a plan)
If you fall (ima put you on your feet again)
When you starve (ima show you how to eat again)
And through it all (Ill show you how to be a friend)
Now when you in charge be in charge (you need a squad)
If you bored (ima show you how to be involved)
I give em more (niggas know they cant see the God)
I cant 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
Its forever real
cause some scars can never heal
Id rather throw the cards in and pray I get a better deal
Guns excite me, keep atleast a hundred wifeys
My duns up in the pens yall need to write me
Street cadets, alias names and re-arrests
It doesnt 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
Its been twenty-somethin years now,
Im 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, theres no tomorrow
Were only makin time for the hoes that swallow
Fuck 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 mans world, still belongs to a tribe
Took the family along for the ride
Watch em eat
Now Im movin with the same cats thatll 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 aint know then black man go for yours.
Chorus till fade...
