Tela - Still A Man lyrics

[Intro] Made it to '98. '97 was stressful. Haters, so stressful. b**h haters. All kinds of haters. Green haters, purple haters. It's gon' be alright though [Verse 1] See it all now Full clocked and switched n***as got change cause n***as got grip All through the nights by myself as I flip With a gla** of Zip, trying to figure if What the f** now n***as low down n***as hate me cause I got doe now Wonder who I'm smashing other words, who I f** What the n***a ride, is that his truck? Nah it ain't mine, in fact it's a rental They cutting the roof out my 5, I get it back in mid December Now they all waiting to k** me like Satan They hating, they don't feel me Don't even really Wanna see me prosper, the Lord knows my gospel That's why I [?] 'em all, it makes me [?] n***as need to grow, let n***as blow up Gon' with that hold up sh**, n***as slow up When you don't even know me f** it, you can blow me Sending out your evil a** forces Wan Kenobi's All through the fire I felt the flame Lord knows it's been a strain but the same I'm still a man [Hook] After the pain, after the rain, still a man After the pain, after the rain, still in the game [Verse 2] My grand mama laced me, my grand mama raised me In the middle of the rain, to a man from a baby It was all gravy Coming up when I was young when everything was shady You shine like the sun And none could compare God blessed me with your prayers Take a long look at life and it ain't fair When everybody else wasn't there you were there for me When everybody didn't care you took care of me How can I pay you back for all the love that you gave? How can I take the pain and the sickness away? Get on my knees and pray The council don't play, where there's a will there's a way I'm with ya till the grave All day, you stay on my mind in the midst of the grind It make me wanna cry sometimes but I Keep the faith and don't worry 'bout a thang Cause after all the pain and the rain, I'm still a man [Hook] {x4} [Verse 3] Girl you know I loved ya, there's nothing I wouldn't do If they took yo life then they take mine too We made love through the nights when it was hard to get through You believed I was right when I hardly knew What the hell was going on Damn your love was strong Didn't need no heat to sleep, you kept me warm You was down like po', my wife [?] You'll give me yo' doe, while you go broke I kept you stressed, kept you breathless plus I'm full of sh** and I'm selfish, I can't help this I set the bridge on fire and I watched it burn Through the smoke and the ash my a** still didn't learn Unconcerned like what? b**h I gives a f** Treated love like a ho, had the game twisted up I guess the thin line was about to break Cause I love with the bitterness, betrayal and hate Rachael Scott forgive me for the pain that I caused Touch your heart and let her know that I didn't mean it all But I was young, didn't know Tried to grow to be a man Alda say you with somebody else baby, I'm still your man [Hook]
