I'm Not The Man Lyrics - Angel

I been a wretch from about 3 or 2 

cruisin on the tele it was on channel 2 

my dad was in the riots so they came to seize you 

growing up I was a kid that everybody knew 

more me, its like I'm never in the mood 

a true pisces my emotions in my tunes 

its an understatement to say its over with me and you 

I took a few shots but I'm soldiering it through 

and now I'm looking at my boys turned men 

thinkin lord god we coulda been like them 

cuz we aint the type to fear our opponents 

the road door closed when my career pass opened 

its like I'm drinking more than I'm thinking 

celebrating as I'm crossing off my wish list 

I'm sleeping with both eyes open 

I'm living my dream man, I dont wanna miss this

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay 

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

just take a second get to know me 

It takes a second just to look me in my eyes 

it takes an hour just to listen to my life 

it took me years just to push me to this hype 

but it take a lifetime to try and duplicate my vibe I'm me 

smooth with my scratches and scars I'm free 

2 minute stamp on the charts 

and I'm sending a letter, I hope you receive it 

hand on my heart Imma flow while its beating 

to put it in words, it coulda been worse 

from the undergrounds I coulda been dirt 

I took a right turn at a wrong place 

cuz sometimes shortcuts are the long way 

gotta have strong faith 

now I'm pleading with my baby mamma 

she tryin to tell me that I turned into a lady lover 

huh, I got my eye on the prize and I'm bringing home the bread 

lets make a toast, you can save the butter

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay 

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

just take a second get to know me 

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay 

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

just take a second get to know me 

Hey yo wretch 

let me get this from here, yeah 

last month a 14 year old in my hood got stabbed and died 

I used to cruise on my bike down that same side road that he lost his life 

I fill a cup with tears and kick it back like a shot just to swallow my pride 

niggas would eat from your bowl and you keep down like a pin coulda hold a strike 

you dont know what its like 

getting cheese amongst a rats fam 

from a town where robin could rob batman 

taxman underneath the taxman giving me that tax man 

I'd rather die from death man 

and everything aint what it seems on these shelves 

you parting red seas and A&R in ourselves 

and you can still get a deal and get shelved 

getting signed wont necessarily help 

all this fire in my tank 

I've come too far to get shanked 

I'm walking on water that others sank 

and I'm laughing all the way to the bank 

power of the grime, lord on my side 

test me, I can make a preacher man grimes 

from a council estate but yeah we made it 

best things can come from the worse places 

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay 

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

just take a second get to know me 

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay 

I'm not the man you thought I should be 

just take a second get to know me
