Imagine like, you're at the top of a mountain.
You know what? It ain't even a mountain.
It's a hill. It's whatever you wanna call it.
But, you're up there
And it's never really until you look down
That you're able to see how far you've come.
You know what I mean?
I came a long way from the kid who was skipping class (Yes)
Showed up 'bout two weeks later
Still passed (Ha!)
I was out here lying to women to get some ass
Got caught, told the truth, and somehow I still smashed (Sheesh)
But you live and you learn
Use mistakes as ways to rehearse (For real)
You can spend your life shoveling dirt
You know? chasing a hearse
Or you can grind on your downtime
Man, trust me it works
I'm just saying it works
I came a long way from that shorty that would hoop in the park (Ha)
I heard gunshots, niggas running
But f*ck it I walked
Wasn't on no cool shit, was never tryna gain respect (No)
I just never feared death
Always prayed my time here be well spent (Well Spent)
Cheapskate, home grinding for every dollar and cent that's sent my way (Yes)
Niggas on the bus, I'm on the highway (Whoa)
Y'all week just started, I'm on Friday
Tryna do this shit my way, look
I tried to be the man
That they all said they wanted to see (I tried)
And I gave everything I had
'Til a man was the only thing left of me (Left of me)
I can't tell no one who to be (No)
And I won't let y'all influence me
Cuz I tried to be the man that they all said they wanted to see
Look, If this the first introduction
Lemme give you the pleasure
I come up from the jungle, hustled no matter the weather (I did)
I been keeping ahead of all of they minimal efforts (Ha)
I'm constantly seeing diamonds
When I'm put under pressure
Ain't no direction for the rest so they neglect a few (Naw)
Numbers lie if it's coming from what they telling you
And it ain't right if it can't break down to the decimal
I had to
Change my direction for a better view
My domain is mastered (Yeah)
Yo speech is keynotes to actors (Okay)
I'm from where we turning Debo's to caspers
I revoke remotes
That replays disasters (Huh?)
And relay my research to relate to askers
I see no glass ceilings
They can't keep us from building (Naw)
Centuries of oppression, from the real life villains
Not to mention the killings (Uh huh)
I'm pulling cards if they dealing (Okay)
Punch out the teeth they lying thru to let em know how I'm feeling
I tried to be the man
That they all said they wanted to see (I tried)
And I gave everything I had
'Til a man was the only thing left of me (Left of me)
I can't tell no one who to be (No)
And I won't let y'all influence me
Cuz I tried to be the man that they all said they wanted to see
