All i really need is a feature from alilyah Lakeshore Drew Hook Zack Bolden Verse I'm 23 by this week's end My mama had asked me If 23 make's a new man Replies silent like god is Ponder it over Pasta - I never saw naked truth in a changed man Guess the Value in a coined phrase - Kept in da pocket of DAT mans pants Well time a tell a tale or two - Timeless tales and fables brew Faded nights that knighted you - Became the man you wanted too I'm the man I'm a man – Mama I'm a man I'm the man – Mama Getting bands Like a real man 22 made 33 legal grand, Mama Ya Son became a father too soon Dropped college – lied about it Broken Promise – Like my father Character's change – but plots refuse I know you know I'm workin hard - You know I know my kids won't starve Zo watch Callie go to School - Who knew not raising a fool was hard The struggle – Is getting Zoë a** to stop cussin The struggle – Is getting Callie sound home structure Home is where yo heart is - Home is where my kids live My kids live where my home sits - In my heart that's where my love is I know love ain't quite enough But maybe our dreams will be what fill us up Something's better than having nothing at all Something's good but I'm praying I'll have it all Hands up like you know who I pray to Hands up – You know who I pray to Hands up – Know who I pray to Hands in the air and I'll pray for you Lakeshore Drew Hook
