ricki g - teachings of a man. lyrics

intro
got my son in the studio with me right now
right here in the booth recording this
teachings of a man
just tryna do something positive out here
tell em something
un

verse 1
who can i trust
not a soul
lotta times i been hurt
seem the ones i love the most the ones that hurt me the worst
like i made it already
walk around hand on my gun
hate to be harsh but showing love could be deadly
murder is daily
the good die young
tryna hide my feelings and wear a mask so they dont think im the one
just a wise young brother
i dun made mistakes
self made well paid see the ghetto embrace
i dun came from a long line
struggle life seein mama work a few jobs
got a family of my own i dun grown up
tryna ball
kick sh#t like the world cup
prayed up
this the future and the past in the present
teaching free game i ain’t charge for a lesson
lotta war stories filled with tears and a shovel
had to bury friends neva dance with the devil
handle ya business and be a man set examples
father to ya kids avoiding the bad apples
life can get challenging gotta hold on
keep it real at all times neva get exposed
born to provide and be a leader
not a leecher
commit to ya woman
ya set a goal then achieve it
word is bond
just remember that
dont you ever write a statement
have ya brothers back
haha facts

bridge
gotta hold on
just let it all out
keep goin

verse 2
its mission impossible when ya come from the bottom
make alotta different choices but limited on the options
another side of life
coming from a different angle
thought success was ya friend
its looking more like a stranger
devil give ya suggestions
but you pray for a angel
some n#ggas never got the chance to say mama i made it
some people never met they fathers and they grandmother raised em
got a house full of siblings
ain’t have no air or no cable
you got plastic on the couches and thats right where ya sleep
got antennas made of hangers up on every tv
you never did want any company
always felt embarrassed
and ya granny health is bad and everyday just feeling nervous
just the thought alone have ya drinking popping pills
ya older brother selling dope
just so he can eat a meal
say he tired of eating noodles
frying bologna in sk!llets
but he just tryna find his way without no first class ticket

outro
yeah
gotta hold on
see im just tryna give some motivation to em
you know
show em something different
they say
everybody rap about you know different things
but lets teach em something
yeah
keep ya head up
its all good
see sometime it take mo strength to cry than keep it inside
ya know

how much longer
