I'm a Man (feat. DaVaugn)

Ima man, I'll do everything I can
I'm gonna make it through
No matter what I go through
Ima man, I'll do everything I can
I'm gonna make it through
No matter what I go through

I was born against the odds with my back on the wall
This a cold cold world waiting on me to fall
My pops always told me son yeah you gotta stand tall
It took 33 years for me to give it my all
I was fed up, I lift my head up, I realized it was time for me to man up
Reminiscing bout the ones who led us
Malcolm, and Martin they both fed us how we let up
Only if they could see how we turned out to be, focused on the I instead we
But it takes the I to help the we, like it takes the strong to help the weak, can't you see
We a team, with death at my fingertips, I realize a lot of shit I did was meaningless
I looked at my pops and told 'em that I needed this
Now I'm ready for leadership, sometimes you gotta to take a stand
I got the world in my hands, what it's like to be a real man

Ima man, I'll do everything I can
I'm gonna make it through
No matter what I go through
Ima man, I'll do everything I can
I'm gonna make it through
No matter what I go through

My pops was nineteen when he had his first child
He had to give up his dreams cuz they didn't work out
Everyday struggles of a man came to him now
He had to choose to get a job or sell em some loud
He been married to my mom for 19 yrs
And he ain't always been faithful made her shed some tears
But they goals now and I learned a lot from that
To turn loose to a gain pops you taught me that
It's not about the fall it's how you get back up
Being a thug it don't make you tough
Can't fend for your family if you get locked up
Or you six feet deep
It might sound real steep but that's the code of the streets
Play with fire you gone feel that heat
Not every man wanna be a dead beat
Sometimes you gotta to take a stand
I got the world in my hands, what it's like to be a real man yeah a real man

Ima man, I'll do everything I can
I'm gonna make it through
No matter what I go through
Ima man, I'll do everything I can
I'm gonna make it through
No matter what I go through
