I'm a man I gotta take care of my family Fighting these precious in my life I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis But these streets won't say a goodbye I can't say goodbye To the blocks Goodbye To the hood Goodbye To the streets to my problems I can't say goodbye To the hood Goodbye To the blocks Goodbye To the streets I can't say goodbye goodbye To the blocks Goodbye To the streets Goodbye To the hood I can't say goodbye To the hood Goodbye To the blocks Goodbye To the homies I quess it's tru you can't take the hood out a homeboy Plus my hood just lost another homeboy Another one got life and we don't know if he coming home boy They in the street tell me just leave it alone boy Let them do them take care of your own boy But I said back brake a bound before I was drome boy You had dreams of being a dope boy Yeah, I was runnin' from the po po Banging for the turth late night huntin' Puttin' me in work good day comin' airbrush shirt Pay day get the spot got my hair cut first Made mom sick when I wouldn't go to church Yeah I live in the burbs but I think 21st I know since I left that it's gotten much worse But I'd still be there if I couldn't write a verse I'm a man I gotta take care of my family Fighting these precious in my life I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis But these streets won't say a goodbye To the the blocks that raise me the enemies and the homies that made Me tough enough to hang on the corners that would moul me Critics wonder if I'm tryna be the old me But if the thing the old me ever left then they don't really know me And don't know we don't change we just become OG you always addicted To the life you just don't OD I owe the streets before they owe me Took me in when my moma didn't want me to wild to be a child and cops Not around now all I got now is the homies to teach me how to be a man In what not how to brake ounces in the grams The reason I'm so nice with my hands shit you think I forgot man I'm a man I gotta take care of my family Fighting these precious in my life I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis But these streets won't say a goodbye Thank good every day that the boy could spit And all around the world they enjoyin' my shit I know I got plenty more wars to get I got a, beautiful wife and some gorgeous kids But it wouldn't be right if I ignore the shit They made me how I am the music in the man Told me that I can for the world gave a damn If it wasn't for my shit they sayin' stick to the plan Probably be a gun instead of a pen in my hand Probably be doin' a dub and the with my man The say leaders streets but they don't really understand All I had was the block when I didn't have fans Wrapped on the corners when I couldn't get spins All I had was the homies when I didn't have kids If it all come down and my carrer was to end I'm sure my name Would live in the streets I'm a man I gotta take care of my family Fighting these precious in my life I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis But these streets won't say a goodbye I can't say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye I can't say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye I can't say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye I can't say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye You can take the man out the streets But you can't take the streets out the man
