I'm Only a Man (Nipsey's Theory)

I'm only a man but swear to god I won't stop
And I'm gne grind until I hear my heart drop
But I don't want no beef even though I still pack that heat
And I ain't leaving so you might as well be my homie
I'm only a man but swear to god I won't stop
And I'm gne grind until I hear my heart drop
But I don't want no beef even though I still pack that heat
And I ain't leaving so you might as well be my homie

This a good time to be black
Tell the federal government we don't need crack
All my homies gettin money tell em eat dat
You understand what I say cuz I speak facts
Everybody locked up we gne need back
Marijuana charge tell em where the trees at
When I'm with the crip cousins where the C's at
Walk by the blood homies Ima B back
When I ride round the hood look back on the good old days
And you know that I miss those days
Get mad when ya mama tell you no you can't get yo way
Straighten up boy fix yo face
Yea I love you too but I understand now
Been a long time coming I'm a man now
Every gang member gotta become friends now
That's the only way the cops gonna stand down

I'm only a man but swear to god I won't stop
And I'm gne grind until I hear my heart drop
But I don't want no beef even though I still pack that heat
And I ain't leaving so you might as well be my homie
I'm only a man but swear to god I won't stop
And I'm gne grind until I hear my heart drop
But I don't want no beef even though I still pack that heat
And I ain't leaving so you might as well be my homie

Thinking back on the lost days
How come it's my people that done lost ways
Everybody else seems to have they shit together
But some of my people can't even sit together
All because of a color that we done chose to rep
Bobby Brown I'm walking with you every little step
But did you not hear tookie when he said that he was done with this shit
He was bumpin but you niggas picking guns up and shit
Maybe I should invent a gang that wear purple
Sit em down and relearn virtues
And when you walk by you ain't gotta worry if they gne murk you
If you get lost we gne search you
And don't value no life over another cuz you my brother
I'll be more than happy to take you further
We from the same hood shit we used to share covers
And it's crazy cuz we share the same baby mother

I'm only a man but swear to god I won't stop
And I'm gne grind until I hear my heart drop
But I don't want no beef even though I still pack that heat
And I ain't leaving so you might as well be my homie
I'm only a man but swear to god I won't stop
And I'm gne grind until I hear my heart drop
But I don't want no beef even though I still pack that heat
And I ain't leaving so you might as well be my homie

It feel like I got a war zone in front of me
I'm speaking about internally
I know I pack heat but this shit burning me
Trying to make a change but I'm lost in my ways
The promised land got me walking for days
Whoever said if you knew better you do better dumb as hell
If that's the case it wouldn't be no jail
Cuz all my niggas got sense
But couldn't make 9 to 5 make sense
Minimum wage ain't shit and they lack patience
I'm pressing back spaces don't want computer love
They'll probably change if you're the plug
You wanna act hard but you know you really can't move no drugs
I think you should've stayed on the bus
And everybody getting money running to the bank but hardly think
It's pushing me to the brink I need a shrink
It's poison in the things we drink get out or sink
And it's gne before you blink

I'm only a man but swear to god I won't stop
And I'm gne grind until I hear my heart drop
But I don't want no beef even though I still pack that heat
And I ain't leaving so you might as well be my homie
I'm only a man but swear to god I won't stop
And I'm gne grind until I hear my heart drop
But I don't want no beef even though I still pack that heat
And I ain't leaving so you might as well be my homie
