Good Man - The Grouch

Black is a seed

But got instilled in

Me was a need to achieve my millions

Don’t gotta mean money, but if we did build

Then it was a sturdy structure real deal

With a genuine eye, for beauty I strive

To make it a classic, outlast and survive

Passion and drive kept me up late at night

As an early teenager I fought a good fight

Didn’t come from privilege but lived this life

For every breath I take, I think now twice

Perfect no dice far from it in fact

May rise then plummet, summit in tact

So I’ve been widening my views

If I’m satisfied, then I can’t lose

No matter what fools, project onto you

Don’t let ‘em intrude, know what is true

We got it good now lets always remember it

It ain’t a comp.

there’s no one to contend with

Come from the heart and the hustle is strong

Done with this part now start the song

Did I pass all your tests, i’m a good man

Hope i did learn for the pitfalls and circumstance

Now I pass on my song to the bad boys

Of which i was still in the process of work of art

With a stronger heart now than i ever had

Maneuvering so clever pull the lever mic can set ‘em back

To where we met ‘em at

Purity, clarity, cherish me go always remember that

Through November pain, and December rain

Man will return again, flame burn, earn a name

Another turn on the wheel i spunnit

Now i do unto others like they kept it one hundred

Stepping on from this next plateau please

Isn’t it fresh yes, you should know me

Beatin' on my chest like i’m the «OG»

Cause i did my best, and that’s my trophy

We got it good now lets always remember it

It ain’t a comp.

there’s no one to contend with

Come from the heart and the hustle is strong

Done with this part now push it along

Made a meal and we all ate

Tummies full most days

Kept her safe, keep it true

Me and you always

I was from a space of a dirt huslin'

Coming up clean just tryin' to mean something

Every moon, sharpening, gotta make marks in ‘em

Start your engines, friends, we’re in this

First lemme claim this independence

Lay the foundation the build the kinship

We’ve spilled what I feel on the paper i meant it

Wielding my weapon like the greatest invention

Hate haters no mention, imagine that

This is not a pageant the beauty is vast

Gas brake dippin' it that take ridiculous

Not pass say I say we did it the ‘G'est way

PSA everyday all day

From CA to see the world i play a hard… Game

[Simultaneously}

We got it good now lets always remember it

It ain’t a comp.

there’s no one to contend with

Come from the heart and the hustle is strong

Done with this part now push it along

And so we laugh, smile, dance ‘n' kiss

Enjoying every moment like our last to live

So rap, scratch play ‘n' bond

Loving every level like the faith is gone

And so we laugh, smile, dance ‘n' kiss

Enjoying every moment like our last to live

So rap, scratch play ‘n' bond

Loving every level like the faith is gone

DIdn’t I treat you right now

DIdn’t i give you everything

Try my best just to be a man
