ab soul - be a man lyrics

[verse 1:]
“herbert anthony you need to get you life together”
that’s my momma bothered by how i live life like
whatever
they say i’m pressed for time, but i don’t press the
issue
i just stay on my grind, chain smoking marijuan help me
free my mind
what a coincidence, like feeling guilt trickin by your
innocence
in a sense i’m livin in my second childhood
don’t pay a lick of rent, rhyme, eat, sleep, and sh-t
and when you twenty-two that don’t sound good
maybe if i went to school it’ll be cool
i’ve have something to fall back on if this rap don’t
crack
perhaps i’d have a better story had i sold crack
let’s go back, to carson high fluctuating my goals
writing rhymes through the lecture knew i should’ve
took notes
sometimes i think i’m running in place, chasing hopes
rejoice my name as ab-soul or is it average joe

[hook: x2]
all this commotion goes in one ear, out the other
i’m still gone make it, one way or the other

(quit acting like a kid herb, gone be a man
it’s a man’s world, how you suppose to feed your fam
you need to act more like an adult, pull up your pants
i know you do music but what’s your plan b man)

[verse 2:]
if i knew when i was younger would i grew to know
i coulda tackle things more different, coulda been more
defensive
coulda been more responsible, coulda been more
persistent
but i didn’t and i ain’t repenting
my parents wake up in the morning to a cup of coffee
then go off to work it kills’em when i’m still in bed
snoring
only if they knew, their young boy was in the stu
’til like 5 am cookin up cl-ssics to make them
proud it’s house n-gg-s that could stay in
that was rather rash, but you can replace this scr-ps
with straight cash
i told jay i’m a buy you a house one day
i probably send katie & [?] to college too
but right now i’m broke as a joke, i should do comedy
dude, i need a job, somebody hire me fast
so i could win my girl over, she probably cheatin on my
-ss
you motherf-ckers better try and sn-tch her while she
up for grabs

[hook]

[verse 3: ab-soul talking]
it’s like real difficult to articulate it
it’s like you got your goals, you got your aspirations
your dreams, and you chasing that, you pursuing that
but in-turn it cost for you to sacrifice alot of your
availability to go out their and get this paper, nah
mean?
it’s hard to say you a man still and livin at your
momma house

yo, i had a conversation with my step-pops
basically inquiring the time frame when i’m a pop
i told’em i ain’t know but i’m determined to blow
not like a fluffer, more like plaques that’s platinum
and gold
that’s on my great-grandmother
he shook his head and said:
“i don’t know much about the music industry but what’s
been said
the people ain’t making no bread, let’s be more
realistic
how you gone take care of a wife? how you gone feed
your children
i’m on my knees everyday tryna provide for ya’ll
i bought that car that you dippin, but you don’t chip
in
you shouldve went to ucla, like your cousin jay
he got a big signing bonus, every year like 80k”
i looked him in the face and said “it ain’t about the
money
and honestly buying an education sounds funny
but have a little faith in your son, i’ll come through
for ya”
he said be a man herb, that’s all i really want from ya

[hook]
