damani nkosi - a man lyrics

[verse 1:]

oh man it’s a miracle
how i came from a town, where most fall down
and never get up, i never gave up
i slipped up a couple of times, but i still raise up
even though i’m scr-ped up, i keep fighting
they don’t know i’m [?] up, cold sweats when i wake up
i see death as a [?], poverty, despair
gotta k!ll ’em for a [?]
all the bloods, all the crips at the park to recruit
thugs i grew up with, we used to do backflips
and drank cups with [?] p-ss the first sip
higher xscape, but can’t seem to escape the middle scape
go to act like an ape, man i can’t fall for the trap
or a state, nah, it’s not a game, nah
i can’t see it, i can’t be it
grown man, boy brained, locked up, going insane
in pain, late night, untamed [?]

[hook 2x:]
a man, a man
won’t chance a thang
maybe when i am, now i understand
a man, i’m a man

[verse 2:]

pops had me on the weekend,had a fifth on myself
he was preaching, he was teaching me: knowledge yourself
jazz in the background, books on the shelf
lil’ herb, lil’ liquor, go and get my belt
if my grades wasn’t right, if i took school light
it was lights out, couple [?], see you later, good night
the message was clear, relate to fear
[?]
i had to go through somethin’, to get me somethin’
that’s how i got me somethin’, and i ain’t frontin’
it was though but it was worth it
if it’s easy than it’s worthless
but if you are on your jo, than it’s workin’

[hook 2x:]

[verse 3:]

from a boy to a man, in between is the matrix
baby momma’s in court cases, living at three places
keep dreaming and chase dreams, since eighteen
nothing works, so you keep pacin’ to make cream.
[?]
depressed and find conflict as a player
yeah, that was me, pitiful [?] young minded
blinded by the alore of a wh0r-, wildin’ on tour
i had a couple dollars, but my spirit was poor
i ran my gifts in the ground, said i’m tired of it now
i didn’t wanna rap, the homies kept tellin’ me to take
another lap
so i did, i never hit, i ain’t a kid
i had to tell the [?] money to be a boss
i’m here to let you know, we all gotta grow
it won’t stop, i keep it 100 when it comes to this hip-hop
