Still a Man - Tela

See it all now

Full clocked and switched

Niggas got change cause niggas got grip

All through the nights by myself as I flip

With a glass of Zip, trying to figure if

What the fuck now

Niggas low down

Niggas hate me cause I got doe now

Wonder who I’m smashing other words, who I fuck

What the nigga ride, is that his truck?

Nah it ain’t mine, in fact it’s a rental

They cutting the roof out my 5, I get it back in mid December

Now they all waiting to kill me like Satan

They hating, they don’t feel me

Don’t even really

Wanna see me prosper, the Lord knows my gospel

That’s why I 'em all, it makes me

Niggas need to grow, let niggas blow up

Gon' with that hold up shit, niggas slow up

When you don’t even know me

Fuck it, you can blow me

Sending out your evil ass forces Wan Kenobi’s

All through the fire I felt the flame

Lord knows it’s been a strain but the same

I’m still a man

After the pain, after the rain, still a man

After the pain, after the rain, still in the game

My grand mama laced me, my grand mama raised me

In the middle of the rain, to a man from a baby

It was all gravy

Coming up when I was young when everything was shady

You shine like the sun

And none could compare

God blessed me with your prayers

Take a long look at life and it ain’t fair

When everybody else wasn’t there you were there for me

When everybody didn’t care you took care of me

How can I pay you back for all the love that you gave?

How can I take the pain and the sickness away?

Get on my knees and pray

The council don’t play, where there’s a will there’s a way

I’m with ya till the grave

All day, you stay on my mind in the midst of the grind

It make me wanna cry sometimes but I

Keep the faith and don’t worry 'bout a thang

Cause after all the pain and the rain, I’m still a man

Girl you know I loved ya, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

If they took yo life then they take mine too

We made love through the nights when it was hard to get through

You believed I was right when I hardly knew

What the hell was going on

Damn your love was strong

Didn’t need no heat to sleep, you kept me warm

You was down like po', my wife

You’ll give me yo' doe, while you go broke

I kept you stressed, kept you breathless plus

I’m full of shit and I’m selfish, I can’t help this

I set the bridge on fire and I watched it burn

Through the smoke and the ash my ass still didn’t learn

Unconcerned like what?

Bitch I gives a fuck

Treated love like a ho, had the game twisted up

I guess the thin line was about to break

Cause I love with the bitterness, betrayal and hate

Rachael Scott forgive me for the pain that I caused

Touch your heart and let her know that I didn’t mean it all

But I was young, didn’t know

Tried to grow to be a man

Alda say you with somebody else baby, I’m still your man
