joel laskey - the man lyrics

[verse 1]
sticken to the plan
i get it just how i can
they say just watch your back
they finna dust off their hands
i hope you can understand
this just wasn’t in my plans
lemme just take it back
to where this all began
sitting inna room, listening to tunes
only afternoon, brother f-cked on shrooms
hiding in cocoons, writing in your room
parents keep on screaming you can hear them from your room
you by yourself, man on the moon
it really is too soon but i can’t tell you when
but they all kept saying that
rap was better then
i really can’t pretend
when you picked up the pen
part of me was praying
you’d never do it again
this is just a place
where rivals act like your friends
and genres begin to blend
cause some of it is all real
and some of it is pretend
and the morals start to bend
but you’ve crossed some lines
that you really can’t amend

[chorus] 1:12-152
when i get lost or when i get down
i think that i might get faded
when i need love is when you around
place you’re at get jaded
biding your time when you really want the crown
it’s hard being the man when your father ain’t in town
it’s hard being the man when they treat you like a clown
moving city to city man they got you on the bounce
it’s important being there that’s the only sh-t that counts
17 years you’ve been alone i mean it’s filled you with some doubt
the things that are worth something are worth waiting
i mean i gotta say it loud
never had approval you just want to do them proud
life feels better when grudges you live without
life feels better without the flexing of the clout

[verse 2] 1:52-2:33
i know you’re trying to fix it but focus in on yourself
start being the better man and getting some extra help
while focusing on health, and focusing on your wealth
who’s gonna stop your brothers from really k!lling themselves
you gotta be the model who leads them into the top
start focusing on your craft and working out of the shop
everybody stumbles it’s hard to never flop
gotta flip the switch and keep it going nonstop
i ain’t saying you gotta stop but find some extra time
to help out all the family to make sure they all fine
i know you’re feeling godly and feeling so divine
but open up your eyes and start looking for the signs
thotties back from high school are blowing up on your line
and i’m knowing deep inside it’s f-cking with your pride
but trust me i’ve been there and they really didn’t care
women want your money you gotta stay aware
i know it all hurts but gods really playing fair
so take care of the smith and nelsons
they showed you another life than a crip or felon
they showed you more to life than a smith and wesson
life ain’t about the way you really dressin’
it’s bout takin care who you love
i hoped you learned your lesson
