To Be a Man

*Chorus x2* Trust is/ something that's earned in this world of pain So many died from the money pretty girls and fame Trying to survive yo we gotta maintain/ It's so hard to be a man/ here me say *Verse1* Living by the devil's doctrine/ murders and metal sparking Tearing our face apart for some cheddar in our pockets Rich like Liberachi diamond bezels in our watches Fucking dimes intoxicated while the devils watching Shadow boxing with myself while the devil's watching Can't shake the feeling the government's spying on me The path to stardom/ Mazeratti's and Aston Martins Shit I used to dream about when my ass was starving Relied on my survival instincts/ to dig myself out the bottom percentage Tearing up the bar full of bottles of liquor/ man's biggest weakness Drugs, money and the women/ with thick features Lusting for more power/ insatiable from making love To my shorty to dousing her with golden showers Moving closer to my final hour/ watching my life Flash in front of my eyes a hundred miles per hours *Chorus* * * * Verse 2* Living in a world of tyranny kind of nice isn't he? Bullshit and bright lights and Zeitgeist conspiracies Thoroughbreds that are freaky give me head when they see me Rub the head of a genie to get that fettuccini Moving through Illuminati in a blue Ducatti Niggas shooting through the lobby bullets ringing through your body Body snatchers that'll end you with a shotty blast And throw your whole swag inside of a body bag In dollars we trust/ corruption of the human mind Shit is do or die can lead you to a suicide Since a juvenile no limits what we do to shine For reputation, money and the pussy niggas doing time Fuck earning a decent living/ Ferraris and the Benzes And the baddest of the baddest dimes turn to easy women Nasty and freaky women that'll do just about anything To get a little glimpse of that easy living *Chorus* *Verse 3* The aura of a pharaoh I'm a king in his essence In a world where man's measured by the things he possesses And the women he blesses since adolescence I learn That with fortune came a crime had to sin for the cheddar Chased it like a dog and it made me depressive Then I expressed on a beat and it made me a Legend Woke up now we too smart to fall for the lie Put our hearts in it too hard for yall to deny Using us as an experiment/ poisoning our medicine Put guns in our hands pop toys for the hell of it Me and money get along/ I hear voices in my head Serenaded by the devils song Stuck in this predicament/ hard to get up out it And when the metal's drawn you gotta react No time to think about it/ and it's a vicious cycle Downward spiral/ we crabs in a bucket in this world for survival
