Grown Man

I leave nothing to chance that I can do to advance through I see life just as big as an ant do My span grew left the childish for a man's view I can't lose gotta step up like some dance shoes I made mis takes and this take is 30 I can't stump scared gotta thump here if u worthy Scared to be a leaf in the wind cuz I ain't thirsty So I go to war with soldiers up early where the work be Places in memories, reserved for men who lived as beast And didn't crease and buckle under pressure 'til they went to sleep No early graves we alive so we stay beast Don't wanna be question by Allah for being lazy Lookin for my cup in the sand So I can drink a couple of grands Tuck in some land cuff me a hand A sister with deen who ain't frontin' for hundreds of grands But want her man on his square and up under Islam Hold our queens down so we hustle most Gladiator strength and honor I'm on that Russell crow Allah carry him role with sages and barbarians We can either talk it out or chalk it out we all carryin' I was taught to be humble But my hands never fumble And if I stumble never fall to the point a brother crumble Keep my feet planted on this planet like they granite And grant it I'm far from perfect but damn it I do damage Fail so many times, but learn not to panic Sow your wounds from last fight with life and learn to manage Keep my eyes open See my prize scope it and scoop it 'Til you prove that you was the guy chosen And a bonus is the feeling of fulfillment in the moment Plant ya flag on ya destiny and seal it that you own it And cant nobody hold it to me that makes it golden You was alone yet you focused and made promise out of hopeless And that bolder on your shoulders you took and molded ya world from it Sculptured ya palace and trees and put ya girl on it And cant nobody say that you ain't earn that You got the scars to prove it planted on a firm back
