Hot winters, cold summers Been praying heavy for more blessings, they run from us Seen the path paved by cousin nem and mamas too Tryna break the cycle of baby mamas and gang recruits Building with the butterfly shining, you know I'm grinding for it Mariposa venue and block busters, my minds a fortune Seen the way that city did Nipsey, the culture ain't recovered Need to get a passport or something, no shame in running from it Presidential debates this shit a comic strip Know my babies lives are in danger, I might stay celibate Mama want her next lil grand kids I'm thinking bout top 10's And how to turn my demons into profits we can spend Sorry I ain't make a dent in my promises I promise I'll see hell before I settle for 10 to 6 But tell me how I fail when my arrival was heaven sent I know the timer ticking and I'm tired of snoozing it Damn, damn, damn Hard to be the man, man, man I'm doing what I can, can, can Just give me one more chance, chance, chance Damn, damn, damn Sticking to the plan, plan, plan Im doing what I can, can, can Just give me one more chance, chance, chance Cold summers, hot winters Tryna find my place at the heavens gate, amongst the sinners Looking at my circle like I pray ain't no judases You'd watch em kill a nigguh that gave em love for benefits Did the 8 people a show, I need arenas full Did the summer cop for the coats, I need my closet full Need my pockets overweight, schedule is overbooked Printed like I sell estates, Tired of the overlooked Reaper at my doorstep, told em I got more left Feeling like I redshirted, readjust my focus Need to do a dinner in every country and territory Hard to tell yourself that the patience is to enhance the story Ion need the sympathy Ion need the glazing fam Give me opportunity Tryna boost the dividends Running on adrenaline I gotta hit my widows peak Hard to block the shots I'm getting up I feel like KD with the buzzer beat Damn, damn, damn Hard to be the man, man, man I'm doing what I can, can, can Just give me one more chance, chance, chance Damn, damn, damn Sticking to the plan, plan, plan Im doing what I can, can, can Just give me one more chance, chance, chance, chance, chance
