时长: 04:08
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family [00:00:01]
Fighting these pressures in my life [00:00:05]
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys [00:00:10]
But these streets won't say goodbye [00:00:15]
I can't say goodbye (to the blocks) [00:00:18]
Goodbye (to the hood) goodbye (to the streets) [00:00:20]
I can't say goodbye (to the hood) [00:00:23]
Goodbye (to the blocks) goodbye (to the streets) [00:00:25]
I can't say goodbye (to the blocks) [00:00:28]
Goodbye (to the streets) goodbye (to the hood) [00:00:30]
I can't say goodbye (to the hood) [00:00:33]
Goodbye (to the blocks) goodbye (to the homies) [00:00:35]
I guess it's true you can't take the hood out the homeboy [00:00:38]
Plus my hood just lost another homeboy [00:00:42]
Another one got life and we don't know [00:00:44]
If he coming home boy [00:00:47]
They in the street tell me just leave it alone boy [00:00:48]
Let them do them take care of your own boy [00:00:50]
But I said back break a bound before I was grown boy [00:00:53]
You had dreams of being a d**e boy [00:00:56]
Yeah I was running from the po po banging for the turf [00:00:58]
Late night hunting putting me in work [00:01:01]
Good day coming airbrushed shirt [00:01:03]
Pay day got the spot got my hair cut first [00:01:06]
Made mom sick when I wouldn't go to church [00:01:08]
Yeah I live in the burbs but I think twenty frist [00:01:10]
I know since I left that it's gotten much worse [00:01:13]
But I'd still be there if I couldn't write a verse [00:01:15]
Oh I'm a man I gotta take care of my family [00:01:18]
Fighting these pressures in my life [00:01:24]
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys [00:01:29]
But these streets won't say goodbye [00:01:34]
I can't say goodbye [00:01:37]
To the blocks that raised me [00:01:39]
The enemies and the homies that made me [00:01:40]
Tough enough to hang on the corners that would mould me [00:01:43]
Critics wonder if I'm tryna be the old me [00:01:45]
But if they think the old me ever left [00:01:48]
Then they don't really know me [00:01:50]
And don't know we don't change we just become o g [00:01:51]
You always addicted to the life you just don't o d [00:01:54]
I owe the streets before they owe me [00:01:58]
Took me in when my momma didn't want me [00:02:00]
To wild to be a child and pops not around now [00:02:02]
All I got now is the homies to teach me [00:02:05]
How to be a man and whatnot [00:02:08]
How to break ounces into grams and whatnot [00:02:10]
The reason I'm so nice with my hands and whatnot [00:02:12]
Sh*t man you think I forgot oh no [00:02:14]
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family I gotta take care of [00:02:18]
Fighting these pressures in my life [00:02:22]
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys [00:02:28]
But these streets won't say goodbye [00:02:32]
I can't say goodbye [00:02:35]
Thank god every day that the boy could spit [00:02:36]
And all around the world they enjoying my sh*t [00:02:39]
I know I got plenty more wars to get [00:02:41]
I got a beautiful wife and some gorgeous kids [00:02:43]
But it wouldn't be right if I ignored the sh*t [00:02:46]
That made me how I am the music and the man [00:02:49]
Told me that I can before the world gave a damn [00:02:51]
If it wasn't for my niggas saying stick to the plan [00:02:53]
Probably be a gun instead of a pen in my hand [00:02:56]
Probably be doing a dub and the pen with my man [00:02:58]
They say leave the streets but don't really understand [00:03:01]
All I had was the block when I didn't have fans [00:03:03]
Rapped on the corners when I couldn't get spins [00:03:06]
All I had was the homies when I didn't have kids [00:03:08]
If it all come down and my career was to end I'm sure my name [00:03:11]
Would live in these streets [00:03:14]
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family [00:03:17]
Fighting these pressures in my life [00:03:21]
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys [00:03:26]
But these streets won't say goodbye [00:03:31]
I can't say goodbye [00:03:34]
Goodbye goodbye I can't say goodbye [00:03:36]
Goodbye goodbye I cant say goodbye [00:03:41]
Goodbye goodbye I can't say goodbye goodbye goodbye [00:03:46]
You can take the man out the streets [00:03:55]
But you can't take the streets out the man[00:03:57]
