[Intro]
Real rap n***a
[Verse 1]
You got one life to live
Gone head and be you
Gone head and be free
They gone love it when you do
But wait, hold up
Cause that ain't really true
They don't really like it when you really being you
They don't wanna know about the sh** you really do
About the sins you commit by the people that you screw
About the sh** you really do
About the sins you commit by the people that you screw
[Hook]
(If it all goes well then I will)
Please Lord just forgive me for my sins
Please Lord just forgive me for my sins
(But what if I don't?)
Just forgive me for my sins
Please Lord just forgive me for my sins
And I just be minding my business
It's no secret, its just none of your business
(I'll be right where I was before)
[Verse 2]
I remember nights I couldn't get no sleep
Haunted by my thoughts man the sh** got deep
I remember crying cause I wanted to change
Who knew my own self could bring so much pain?
And I still don't know if the world is ready for me
Wait, just cause you straight
You think you better than me?
How the hell you gonna tell me bout the way that I'm living?
How the hell you even know we got the same religion?
Man the way I live don't determine sh** for you
Why these n***as so worried bout the sh** that I do?
You still better have it when that rent is due
sh** I bet I probably pull more b**hes than you
I guess it's hard to see it for a n***a like me
Cause I ain't what you'd expect
Man I'm just what you see
So used to the memes
So used to the lies
So used to the extremes
Cause that's all that you see
Like on the TV, they're either giving out AIDS
Or they're really flamboyant
Either way a disappointment
But f** the TV this is real f**ing life
Got scars on my wrist from that steel f**ing knife
This is real f**ing life
Got scars on my wrist from that...
I don't expect no show ups if I get married
But it's cool cause I ain't really got the plans to
You see it'd be great if I was straight
Cause I could give my parents the grandchild
Ryan didn't have the chance to
And I could be the man my father wanted me to be
I just hope it's pride he feels when he's looking at me
I'm sorry that I couldn't be the son that you wanted
I'm sorry for all those big dreams that I haunted
No football jersey, we never went fishing
But you never dipped out, no you never went missing
And I love you dad, I thank God every night for you
Just know if I could I would change overnight for you
And now I'm saying cheers to the teenage years
I'm looking in the mirror just to face my fears
But I gotta do me
I can't worry bout the simple minded
I lost my sanity and now I'm stuck tryna find it
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Look I know you got your views
And I ain't really tryna mix that
Things are always changing
And I can't really fix that
But it's been f**ing with me
Every time I'm alone it be f**ing with me
Cause I was so worried bout the friends I would lose
Would my n***as be my n***as
If I told them the news?
Would they still hit me up
When it's time to make moves
Or would they bail cause they fail to propel and approve?
But I'm still the same Damez
Still wear the fly clothes
Still rock the fly kicks
Still blow the same O's
Still riding in that Benz and
Flexing with my friends and
Doing everything but tryna f**ing blend in
Headed for that limelight
Tryna get my mind right
High as a plane cause I live that cloud nine life
Tryna get my grind tight
It's getting better every day
And it's still f** what these n***as say
[Hook]
(If it all goes well then I will)
Real talk though
f** these n***as
Do you, forreal
(But what if I don't?)
Please Lord just forgive me for my sins
