(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

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 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...
