[Bridge - *Singer* & O.C.] (*I'm a good man*) In this line of work I don Everyday I work on Showing my all to prove (*I'm a good man*) Food, clothing and shelter Making sure me and mines are not helpless (*I'm a good man*) Nowadays less is more Long as your family is rest a**ured [Verse 1] Started from rock bottom Still electrifying at low wattage Where many were optimistic I was Sinking progress but I never digressed From the path that I chose to turn pro from a novice Along that road, ran into a fork On the left was crime, on the right was music or sports And other fields maybe a lawyer or a doctor Or be C.E.O. like Gamble and Procter [Chorus - *Singer*] *I'm a good man* *Food on the table* *Working two jobs* *But he's willing and able* *Good man* *Done having fun* *Got no kids and i love the lord* *Good man* *I'm alive and must* *Never did time, maybe just once* *Good man* *And I puts it down* *I'm a good man* [Verse 2] In my lifetime, walking that fine line Study lights that shine networking through WiFi Show a slice eyes bittersweet For those lost over the cost of universal guidelines A good spirit I perceive through my minds eye Waving at cats blowing they horn as they drive by Well respected inside the community Take in account how they view me just knowing... [Chorus - *Singer*] *I'm a good man* *Food on the table* *Working two jobs* *But he's willing and able* *Good man* *Done having fun* *Got no kids and i love the lord* *Good man* *I'm alive and must* *Never did time, maybe just once* *Good man* *And I puts it down* [Bridge - *Singer* & O.C.] (*I'm a good man*) In this line of work I don Everyday I work on Showing my all to prove (*I'm a good man*) Food, clothing and shelter Making sure me and mines are not helpless (*I'm a good man*) Nowadays less is more Long as your family is rest a**ured [Verse 3] So what's the definition of a good dude? Is it defined by his actions, how he move? Is it holding down his wiz or his kids? Does... cars and cash make him who he is? Or the Louis wear? Who can really tell no matter who he near Those caught up in the system Don't plan for detention It was done out despair, bottom line Call it a Catch-22 life is strange And often a good man wins Even committing sin [Chorus - *Singer*] *I'm a good man* *Food on the table* *Working two jobs* *But he's willing and able* *Good man* *Done having fun* *Got no kids and i love the lord* *Good man* *I'm alive and must* *Never did time, maybe just once* *Good man* *And I puts it down*
