man i is

Knockin' doors down, showin' cars around
 I'ma come through and show my wood pine
 Knockin'-knockin' doors down, showin' cars around
 I'ma-I'ma come through and show my wood pine, I'ma, I'ma come-
 Knockin' doors, knockin'-knockin' doors down, down
 Knockin' doors, knock-knock-knock-knock, knockin' doors down
 I'ma-I'ma come through, I'ma-I'ma come down
 I'ma come through, I'ma-I'ma come down (Yeah)
 Paper chasin' on occasion
 West Deer Park, that's my location
 Life and death was what we was facin'
 Boy, gotta get that motivation
 Back in the basement
 Look at my idols, I'm feelin' adjacent
 Doin' the shit that I wish I was doing, I'm feelin' impatient
 Throwin' parties and catching cases
 That's the life, but that shit basic
 I've cooked crack, I can't erase it
 If I could, would not replace it
 Grew up all alone
 Had to teach myself to tie my laces
 What's the deal?
 I'ma play the field
 Rattpack, we keep it real
 Nothin' but love for the people that paved the way
 So a brother like me, he can get it today
 Antwan, Erykah and 3K
 Can't forget those ain't here today
 R.I.P. JD and Pimp C
 Payin' respect, so don't hold it against me
 Devil he callin' me, he love to tempt me
 God exempt me, why you sent me here?
 What I think about year to year
 What I've been through these people only see through a peephole, yeah
 Not a single one got an idea
 So I write it down on this page
 Feel like I'm 35 times my age
 Look in the mirror don't know what to say
 But I'm happy the man I is
 ♪
 Yeah, yeah
 I said I'm happy the man I is
 And I'm proud of the man I've become
 I'm proud that I'm from a slum
 I never got cold, I never got numb
 Except from the winter time and then some
 I transcend and I transform
 Poetic vision in rare form
 Growing up nobody there for him
 I promise when I have a family I'ma be there for him
 I love hip-hop
 Hate a motherfucker, go kick rocks
 No matter what happen I never gon' stop
 Like Cole said if they don't know yo' dreams
 Then they can't shoot 'em down
 But I'ma let the world know
 'Cause I'm too high up to hit the ground
 This shit right here is like therapy, spit it verily
 I ain't perfect, I got problems, I got issues like People magazine
 Shoot from the hip and reload the magazine
 I wish I could just go on forever, forever, ever and ever
 But this rhyme
 Ill as it is divine
 Gon' cut short today 'cause I'm out of studio time
 Only thought I was recording these horns and not no rhyme
 What can I say? Inspiration hits at anytime
 So I guess I'll have to conclude all my thoughts another time
 Another rhyme
 Another, ano- rhyme
