Be A Man by Ab-soul
[Verse 1:]
"Herbert Anthony you need to get you life together"
That's my momma bothered by how I live life like
whatever
They say I'm pressed for time, but I don't press the
issue
I just stay on my grind, chain smoking marijuan help me
free my mind
What a coincidence, like feeling guilt trickin by your
innocence
In a sense I'm livin in my second childhood
Don't pay a lick of rent, rhyme, eat, sleep, and shit
And when you twenty-two that don't sound good
Maybe if I went to school it'll be cool
I've have something to fall back on if this rap don't
crack
Perhaps I'd have a better story had I sold crack
Let's go back, to Carson high fluctuating my goals
Writing rhymes through the lecture knew I should've
took notes
Sometimes I think I'm running in place, chasing hopes
Rejoice my name as Ab-Soul or is it average joe
[Hook: x2]
All this commotion goes in one ear, out the other
I'm still gone make it, one way or the other
(Quit acting like a kid herb, gone be a man
It's a man's world, how you suppose to feed your fam
You need to act more like an adult, pull up your pants
I know you do music but what's your plan B man)
[Verse 2:]
If I knew when I was younger would I grew to know
I coulda tackle things more different, coulda been more
defensive
Coulda been more responsible, coulda been more
persistent
But I didn't and I ain't repenting
My parents wake up in the morning to a cup of coffee
Then go off to work it kills'em when I'm still in bed
snoring
Only if they knew, their young boy was in the stu
'Til like 5 AM cookin up classics to make them
Proud it's house niggas that could stay in
That was rather rash, but you can replace this scraps
