Life of the Man

[Intro]
Yeah
Uh
Ow

[Refrain]
Every day I'm on the line, lookin' like it's Heaven-sent
Niggas be block-bustin' like 1999

[Verse 1]
You can see the demons tryin', where the fuck's the reverend?
I ain't pay for pussy, nigga, my bitch got them eyes
I got ninety-nine problems, but it's all good, 'cause they all shook
I've been droppin' every genre like I'm off-book
Ain't no cold crook, even momma had some bad looks
It was dangerous in the life—in the life—in the life—

[Chorus]
Life of the man
Hope you niggas understand
In the life of the man—in the life of the man
Hope you pussies understand
This shit's harder than it can
In the life of the man

[Bridge]
Yeah, who? Ow
Yeah, look
Mm, off the top, the proof's been blocked
The men that watch are [far across?]
The youth is taught that drugs and war is all we got
Mm, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, uh, uh

[Refrain]
Every day I'm on the line, lookin' like it's Heaven-sent
Niggas be block-bustin' like 1999

[Verse 2]
Fuck it, I ain't even tryin', go read the papers
Your favorite rappers aren't the ones that should be your teachers
Yeah, who the new world leaders? Some are born leaders
Only competin' with old Caesars, sound like 'Pac teached us
Still I ride, you niggas die actin' evil, show me that you bleed
God is still alive with His people, just as rappers be
I [don't ever feel?]
Ow

[Instrumental Break]

[Breakdown]
Ooh-woah, this is the type of level I'd show my boss
Ooh-woah, fuck the critics, nigga, I'm too evolved
Ooh-woah, what’s a black man doin' in the city of God?
Ooh-woah, even momma couldn't help me with the evil I've caused

[Outro]
Fuck the critics, nigga, I'm too evolved
Even momma couldn't help me with the evil I've caused
