The Man Lyrics - Singles - The Rapsody

Part 1 

[Hook: Heather Victoria] 

Cause he's... the man... 

[Verse 1: Rapsody (Heather Victoria)] 

Of the house since his dad left, wake up, days feeling stressed 

No stability, every year got a new address 

Never change the view from this window, he seeing mad arrest 

He saw his homie's death, same age, same story 

Questioned God, wonder why he would take a such young shorty 

It ain't even 8:40, already he thinking poorly 

But still he's the (maaaaan) 

His mom trust him now to lock the place down 

Feed his younger brother and sister, make sure they both lay down 

'fore she home, can't be on the phone, gotta wake up early next morn' 

He don't have a lot of fun having to be so grown 

At night he pray the world just throw him a bone 

Tired and stressed 

His grades suffer now and they don't know about home 

So his teachers on his back again and don't own Foams 

Kids pick at him, now he feel he need those to belong 

Daydreaming 'bout a life living just like Puff Combs 

On his walk to the crib he always hear several blown 

Tryna think positive, but everything's wrong 

Why his daddy can't be at home and be the mutherfucking (maaaaan)? 

Now he gotta a little plan 

He can sell a few rocks, maybe make a few grands 

Take his family and move 'em and expand 'em to better lands 

And be the motherfuckin, and be the motherfuckin (maaaaan)

[Verse 2: Rapsody] 

So he got money and stayed, but ain't get out 

Got a new whip now he pushing worth 50 thous' 

But his mom, brother, sister still living in public housing 

He the man though, gotta put food in all they mouths 

His dad skipped, now he's the one to provide they outfits 

They won't get picked on like he did, under the couch is 

A 9 Milli, he gotta protect the fam, silly 

Under circumstances he living to be the man really 

Dad dropped by out the blue, he said "damn, you ain't the (maaaaan)" 

Look what I did fam 

When you ain't bother I stepped up to be the man, man 

Now I'm the (maaaaan) 

Be out, yo, this my motherfuckin' house 

See, I'm the (maaaaaaan) 

Around the way I don't respect ya 

You just clown to me, yo, I reject ya 

You gave me all this pressure, I wasn't even a freshman 

Since thirteen man, shit, dawg, I been the (maaaaan) 

[Hook] 

[Verse 3: Rapsody] 

Now this street life got him running always thinking 'bout the (maaaan) 

And now he sets the scene of what he saw when he was ten 

Out the window while he sat thinking like (maaaaaan) 

I wish It could better, man 

I could be a doctor, a teacher, a lawyer talking evidence 

Or I could be your weather(maaan) 

I had dreams and plans, but gave it up to be the man, see 

When my father didn't bother, well, now I'm the (maaaan)

Part 2 

[Verse 4: Rapsody] 

I pray to God you get it soon, I use the [?] to clear my head 

Shower and devour stress, I chose to wear a dress today 

I got small breasts, but I love me (but I love me) 

Do you love me? (Do you love me?) 

He says yes he does, I'm his everything 

I don't think love's in a wedding ring, it's a business 

And I hear both sides lose interest 

What's endless hasn't ended 

And I'm thinking damn, is this you and me one day? 

I don't wanna fade away (f-fade away, f-fade away, f-fade away...) 

Like a history, rock and roll, hip hop now but so soul 

Soul is what y'all singin' 

Long as they payin', to newborns just a day in 

Gotta make their life amazing 

Don't let the TV raise 'em, raise 'em, raise 'em 

Tell 'em how we black as ravens, ravens, yea 

But they hatin' and they shoot us 

When we march they call us looters 

Sitters, says "go get your rugers (get your rugers)" 

Yea, used to have a peaceful mindset 

But nowadays peace won't come and justice or a bomb threat 

Is how I feel, I need God to heal my heart 

How we s'possed to not fight back? 

Now we s'possed to not wage war? 

I pray to God you get it soon 

Another afternoon, different day same story 

More convos in our living rooms, huh, nah, we don't need Maury 

Yea, confirming all your lies 

It's hard to tell our babies they don't care about our lives 

Ask us why, they ask us why, why, why, why, why? 

They ask us why, why, why, why, why? 

[Outro: Children] 

"Why don't people like me because of my color?" 

"I don't understand" 

"Why am I different?" 

"Why doesn't my life matter?" 

"I'm just like you" 

"I'm no different" 

"I'm a good kid" 

"I like to play" 

"I like to hang with my friends" 

"Why is the world not in peace?" 

"Yes" 

"My dad said" 

"When I get bigger" 

"I have to be really careful" 

"Around police" 

"But why?" 

"I thought police help us" 

"I don't understand" 

"I don't understand" 

"Hello" 

"I just want to say hello"
