Lyrics

When I was a boy
They started treatin' me just like a man
Had to talk with my hands
If they hear me stutter they won't understand
They want me to hang
They want me to lose it
They want me go stupid
They want me to bang
They said I'm gorilla
They said I'm a killa
But I am a man
And they still treat me like I am a boy
They takin' my joy
But God told me keepin my faith is the ploy
It's really the plan
Said I'm gorilla
They said I'm a killa
But I am man
I am a man, I am a man, I am a man
Trials and tribulations of a child
Doing these home invasions wasn't proud
I did it til I had to throw in the towel
Ironically later they threw in the towel
When I was fighting I knocked all of em out
Pow I was the talk of the town
Champion boxer who was robbing ya house
Jacking wallets put the glock in ya mouth
Then I found me a father figure
New surroundings a lot was different
No more doing foul things god forbid it
I was moving mountains through Armageddon
Tatted Mao on me what he represented
Was a revolution and a change
Then It dawned on me that a king
Shouldn't be pawned off in a ring
It's been a long walk to this bridge
But I shall not fall off I'm a live
I use to nod off in the crib but now I'm like na dog
I'm a win I'm a win I'm a win
I Been labeled a monster
Since I was switching up fosters
By all that shit I was bothered
But that shit just made me stronger
Now ill live longer/
When I was a boy
They started treatin' me just like a man
Had to talk with my hands
If they hear me stutter they won't understand
They want me to hang
They want me to lose it
They want me go stupid
They want me to bang
They said I'm gorilla
They said I'm a killa
But I am a man
And they still treat me like I am a boy
They takin' my joy
But God told me keepin my faith is the ploy
It's really the plan
Said I'm gorilla
They said I'm a killa
But I am man
I am a man, I am a man, I am a man
I cry tears of pain
I threw things, I feel ashamed
I can't deal wit rage
Tryna make a change
Can't flip that page
When it's all been released
When I'm fully at peace
Standing on my own land
I'm still a angry black man
To you? You don't define me
You never slept in the car with me
You don't remind me of me
Of all that I been through
I seen the disease of broke and ungrateful
I fell to my knees, and asked for forgiveness
They say cleanliness next to God
But the truth, I ain't have any
Washin' my soul in the darkest of holes
The sports entertainment business
Momma said knock you out
Matter fact, Momma wasn't there no more
Playground was a ring
Angry kid by the age of 4
What's patience for?
When a trip to the store is a racist war
We was basic poor
Then they gave us more, so we strayed too far
When I was a boy
They started treatin' me just like a man
Had to talk with my hands
If they hear me stutter they won't understand
They want me to hang
They want me to lose it
They want me go stupid
They want me to bang
They said I'm gorilla
They said I'm a killa
But I am a man
And they still treat me like I am a boy
They takin' my joy
But God told me keepin my faith is the ploy
It's really the plan
Said I'm gorilla
They said I'm a killa
But I am man
I am a man, I am a man, I am a man
