Just a Man

Yeah, this is my vision

Written without second thought or revision

The type of shit that affect you like an oncoming collision

That just make you freeze, drop to your knees and beg em;

Please lord forgive me for gripping a semi now

When searching for God all I ever do is stare up

While Satan sending me women wearing nothing but they hair up

Got the condom on the dresser, I can't wait to undress her

Would you think lesser of me if I did it?

Cause I get lonely, I'm human, and boy it's been a minute

Fresh out the states, surrounded by women that wanna hit it

But should I take the pussy just cause I could get it?

Or do I want something that's more committed?

God damn, it's hard to admit it

As you focus on the little things, the bigger ones will get you

So I minimize the negatives to see the bigger picture

I get richer while you fuckers hate,

So keep it up and watch a young brother elevate

I'm black and white but racism I still cannot evade

I never understood the concept, even to this day

You know we're all the same in the eyes of a blade

Because when men share blood it's to the same shade

That's why I'm just a man homie

Flesh and blood, I'm just a man

But I don't think they understand homie

I ain't perfect, I'm just a man

Y'all think I'm more than just a man

I contemplate on the daily if I'll survive and strive

To be the greatest lyricist dead or alive

I gotta prevail

That's my word like excel

Went from a small town in West Deer Park to XXL

Now we shopping at Louis V, back in the day it was Ross

They calling me the savior, hope they don't give me the cross

Now that's the realest shit you ever heard

Never in the streets but I was closer than the curb

Do you feel me?

Whole world wanna kill me

Signed a deal but I'm still me

In five years will I still be?

Ever since I was a youngin this is all I've ever wanted

Always kept it real while they perpetrated and fronted

I was in the studio while they was gettin' blunted

Always have my doubts but deep down I knew I'd run it

Sportin' Armani like menage a trois that's double breasted

A lot of time I've invested and never once have I rested

Feeling nervous like when you getting tested

The game is over saturated, completely infested

The greatest story ever told, realest song ever written

To hell with a Plan B, motherfucker I ain't kiddin

I''m just trying to get this money, I'm just trying to get paid

That's the type of mentality put careers in the grave

Fuck how much you made

What's it worth if your memory fades?

Now I ain't perfect, on occasion I'm strayed

It's been forever since I prayed

And I guess today is the day,

So I step in the booth and treat that shit like a confession

Thinking back as I reminisce,

Wondering; does God even exist?

A man of faith but mentally I feel at risk

What you want from me, where am I supposed to go?

Seems like you never talk, tell me how I'm supposed to know?

I'm just a man, I ain't perfect

Is this life even worth it?

It's time to dig up the past so fuck it let's unearth it

Like my childhood, living free like a child should

Remember the time I opened the bedroom door crack?

And saw my daddy smoking more crack?

No food in my house, we just couldn't afford that

Momma drinking, sleeping until five

But she always seemed to get up whenever men arrived

Feeling alone at like eleven

Segregated from the other kids like it was 1957

I've loved, I've hated, I've cried, I've died inside

I've resurrected but don't neglect that I've modified

I'm stronger, faster, better than ever before

And everything I've been through can honestly assure

I'm no less, no more,
