Appearing I'm the strongest man, broken where I'm standing
Broken til I'm on my knees, praying for my landing
I'm fanning flames in hell, but I'm well in my collage
I collide-a-scope to tryda cope, my mental's taj mirage
Like I see water over sands, but cannot see right next to me
Like I'm blinded by the light and reading braille on a tree
What I'm s'posed to be, I ain't, so I don't care by my degrees
My vivid picture has no paint, when it spreads like a disease
Nigga please, I ain't beggin', why you peggin' me to bust
I'm still breathin' in these winds, til my ashes blend wit dust
I don't trust a single word, til itz heard, from the sky
Fuck yo verbs I need write nouns, cuz I ain't tryna say "goodbye"
I ain't trying for "no reply" when my response is in demand
And my lead is what they follow, all they know is hold MY hand
And I'm not my father or, my father's dad before me
So I fight to take these blinders off, cuz I need my eyes to see
(A new path)
You can cry about it now, if you wanna
But I promise you gon' laugh about it in the morning
Cuz you're a man (amen, 'ey man, a man)
And your world's been torn apart
I know you prayed a new day, is finally coming
And you'll rebuild the dreams you had in the morning
Cuz you're a man
He knows whus in your heart
I'm tryna find which way is up, I keep on looking down
Looking BACK to the future, but itz muted wit no sound
I reboot it from the ground, shoot it up at satellites
Like I'm Lupe, will he, BEAMIN' but sometimes I'm scared of heights
I'm too fly not to fly so next to Zebs I take Nightflights
I'll be gone til November slaps December from 1st class
If the 1st shall be the last, then I'm meek before I enter
Cuz my storm's a fuckin' blizzard and this IS my coldest winter
(EVERrrrr)
You can cry about it now, if you wanna
But I promise you gon' laugh about it in the morning
Cuz you're a man (amen, 'ey man, a man)
And your world's been torn apart
I know you prayed a new day, is finally coming
And you'll rebuild the dreams you had in the morning
Cuz you're a man
He knows whus in your heart
(Ain't got no time to feel sorry, for myself, iGrown man it
Ain't got no time to rhyme for glory, and I don't take nuthin for granted)
I plant the seeds in my scenes, so my kids can breathe their dreams
Before I UP and leave the planet, lemme stitch it at the seams
If there's a glitch inside my helmet, I won't bitch about my fate
But I WILL ditch the hate inside my love, before I reach the gate
Don't eulogize me when I'm rising, above the walls of where I been
If you should analyze the lies, analyze it within
Cuz I don't grin thru my pen and I don't break when I bend
And I ain't never walked on water, so yes I breathe inside my sins
I ain't locked up no skeletons, on this stage, where I stand
I don't wilt or melt from light, my mic's a gun for fickle F.A.N.s
But in real life I'm just a man, that time has torn apart for fun
And like a puzzle I'm forced to solve it, there's no way I would run
No where to hide it from the sky, so my time is under a gun
When I rise I'll stand up like the sun, and Yes, my uzi weighs a ton
You can cry about it now, if you wanna
But I promise you gon' laugh about it in the morning
Cuz you're a man (amen, 'ey man, a man)
And your world's been torn apart
I know you prayed a new day, is finally coming
And you'll rebuild the dreams you had in the morning
Cuz you're a man
He knows whus in your heart
