Role Model

(Intro) So you tell me who the kids are looking up to Chee, Superman Chip, listen (Hook) See they say that I'm a role model But I didn't ask to be You don't know what it's like Going college everyday in my hood When I know men are after me They wanna see me fall cause I'm on TV And all the little kids wanna be like me So I guess I'm a role model So I guess I'm a role model, listen [Verse 1] Balls in the sutin in the morn ain't me Human nature I grab what I see In fear of your life you'll grab what's in sight And swing from the left to the right, alie Listen, me, I'm just like you My shit does stink, I'm human too So why should I make a man violate me If you don't ever make a man violate you? See it's more then a Catch 22 Yeah I'm in the limelight, but what can I do? If they choose to shut me out they will And So Solid Crew be the damn living proof See they need to promote, they promoted violence But did not provoke cry or broken silence But that's just the life of an artist The spotlight makes you a target (Hook) [Verse 2] I'm living proof you ain't gotta be a nerd to get As Proof you ain't gotta be a shotta to get paid Coming up I had some doors closed in my face But on the road to sucess, I made me a lane Paved me a way, just me and my team Kept seeing red but I move like it's green I couldn't find money but I'd find hope Chasing the dream with a blind fold Tryna find money with my eyes closed Well I might as well have been Tryna get to heaven but it feels like hell I'm in And Gucci's got me blowin my dough Cause I just spend money whenever I feel low I feel like my mind's in a mosh pit But thats just the life of an artist See the spotlight made me a target (Hook) [Verse 3] Growing up in a place where there's more hate then love I was lookin up to men that made money off of drugs Being surrounded by chicks in a club Like who the hell said money can't buy love And school is where the attitude starts Most of what you learn is irrelevant outta class Teach the kids to get As and shit But dont tell a man to get mortgages Society's designed to contain us in But I know just what I'd be here for Cause I give them everything But they still want more And 2Pac proved when they die they care more But I ain't tryna die to sell But I ain't tryna ask for help That's just the life of an artist The spotlight made me a target (Hook) (Outro) See what people fail to understand Is that when your an artist Even when your in the right, you're in the wrong You can't win Lemme get some a's they won't put that in the paper But let me go mad And do a total madness Probly even get the front page Ageing to see me fall, it won't happen I got some awards on me now
