Man Alone
The vivid tales of a visionary
Headed for a cemetery
With grand delusional visions
Of being legendary
34 years, all I did was pour beers
Scream about warfare and now
I'm in the crosshairs i'm kinda lost here
The more fame the more bitches the more fear
I'm talking like you all care
Let's make this all clear
It ain't all musical
I'm talking bout my future
You telling me what I used to do
There's no gimmicks to him
Shine or glisten to him
You gotta be in some sort of
Pain just to listen to him
They say the game done chewed
Him and spit him out
But here's a couple things that
You niggas ain't figured out
You know a nigga better than Ran
Then you pick him out
Cause it had taken a couple of
Niggas to get him out
And yeah I know there's some
People that's still in doubt
They want to hear his songs
And listen then feel'em out
But how many niggas is better
What's the amount
Cause you know I got that work when
These nigga is in the drought
I keep getting this feeling that
I'll be in power soon
A rose in the concrete is
Just how this flower blooms
Visions of a black ghost
Playing the loudest tune
But instead I stand alone in the
Midst of a crowded room
They say you're blessed to be
Living that so to speak
I don't agree I think that that's just
A give in that's only me
I'm so discreet when it comes to
My movements I know the streets
Now, if you wake up with no money
Then why would you go to sleep?
I keep doing the same old
Shit with the same results
Too used to conversations with
Niggas who ain't adults
I cut off all them niggas who
Front like they came to help
They ain't themselves so I stay on
Point like I'm Raymond Felton
Go ahead and ask me, how does it feel to see
All my peers surpass me
But can never outclass me
Don't get it misconstrued
There is no hate involved
Everybody's balling out but who's the
One to take the charge
Before Nicki was wearing those crazy wigs
I was doing verses for her just
Hoping she'd made it big
Told the nigga French that
I got'em whenever needed
Sent a couple freestyles to Clue
When he got deleted
I guess he looks at me as
The reason he got mistreated
But I am not a DJ my nigga best to believe it
Got a verse from Wayne before
He was sounding off
Did a song with Ross before
He was crowned the boss
They say I'm not New York I
Just live in the town across
I make'em all convert like a
Muslim who found a cross
That's my story and yeah I'm sticking to it
I never thought that I'd end up
Being the victim to it
I just wanted people to listen to it
I just wanted people to listen to it
