More Than a Rapper

this is real life this is late night posted by the street lights i had to take my life into my own hands, i'm not a child live my life like a grown man, i take a bow cause i made it through the trails and tribulations, was trapped holdin' crack vales, duckin' incarceration, relax cause i'm smarter than the hardest rapper, he too emotional i'm like a hood college rapper, you take it personal i'm asmatic, i gotta addict in the hallway he said for a gram he'll merk you in the doorway but don't blame, that's the way the streets raised us ridin' to church wit a fiend on the same bus i'm dead broke, got no change for the church cup a tight suit, old shoes and they blame us so how they figure that the drugs won't 'gon change us when daddy drank all the money that they gave us my uncle stealing out the house like he hate us he buyin' crack but police wanna cage us i'll get it back when i cop me some powder cook it up, then i hop in the shower bag it up, now the block is my power $20 for a half a gram i done the work, cop some groceries to feed my fam i know it hurts when your mamma gotta be the man i'm from the dirty, i'm much more than a rapper man
