Just a Man (feat. Izzy Luc)
Yeah, I'm just a man, I ain't perfect but who really is?
I'm a man, from different beginnings, but we all gotta end
Yeah, said we all gotta end
All gotta end tell 'em
I'm a man, I ain't perfect, but who really is?
I'm a man, from different beginnings, but we all gotta end
Yeah, said we all gotta win
From the booth, this my truth from the roots and the stems
My hardest thing in life was how I'm gonna live it right
But my OG told me that every day on this Earth a fight
Some are wins, some are losses, between that you gotta find your balance from exhaustion
so I take my misfortune
And flip it into fortunate words, had a rough time coming
I was down in the dirt, I wasn't flying in the burbs
Wasn't up with the birds, I had to get my wings for real
Could give a fuck what you heard
My pops taught me how to drown my sorrows with this bottle
Now I'm moving careful, I ain't moving hostile, Aristotle with the way I'm spittin'
I been writing since they used to bump that remix to ignition
Had to reignite my vision, then my bro passed the other side cuz I was tired of livin'
But my intuition told me, "you got more to see and more to guide"
I remember times when I ain't eat and that shit haunts my mind
Now I'm on a zenith tryna spread to you my borrowed time
Cuz I realized that we all human and we guaranteed nothing, but to fucking die
Yeah
Yeah, I'm just a man, I ain't perfect but who really is?
I'm a man, from different beginnings, but we all gotta end
Yeah, said we all gotta end
All gotta end tell 'em
I'm a man, I ain't perfect, but who really is?
I'm a man, from different beginnings, but we all gotta end
Yeah, said we all gotta win
From the booth, this my truth from the roots and the stems
Eyes on the prize, but my head on a swivel
Pivot to pictures of penmen, pinching they pennies for nibbles
Picture this kid in the middle of generations
Making sense of idealism, but stay relaying it simple, uh
Yeah, to the wraith from a rental
Paint visions then go and live 'em, Chef Ramsay stay in the kitchen
The greatest ain't independent, we gon' parade any minute
From all the flames, we've risen, go find your life and live it up
Yeah, and Thomas never stopping shit
Paint pictures like Picasso and story-tell like a novelist
Spinning words like it's pottery, sculpted my son's future
Crafted this instrumental, then bodied it with my artistry
Everything is all up, up, and away from reality
Back when I didn't stress 'bout my salary
I thought this shit was caviar, but this shit's all cavalry
But honor's not involved, so I might drop the ball
Like the Lakers, maybe I been going crazy like LaVar
When it's all said and done, will they remember where I'm from?
Paint my face up on a mural, singing songs that I've sung?
I won't ever give a fuck about being number one
But before I'm dead and gone, someone let me know I'm loved, uh
Let me know
I'm just a man, I been working on my vision doing all I can
Tryna be a better daddy proving I'm a man
Tryna show my son my love before I see the end
Yeah, look
I'm just a man, serotonin flowing like I never gave a damn
If this shit your jam, let me see them fucking hands
I ain't perfect, burning bridges just so I could stand
Sink or swim, I'm swimming till it's proven I'm a man
Yeah
Till it's proven I'm a man
I'm a man, from different beginnings, but we all gotta end
Yeah, said we all gotta end
All gotta end tell 'em
I'm a man, I ain't perfect, but who really is?
I'm a man, from different beginnings, but we all gotta end
Yeah, said we all gotta win
