[Chorus]
I wanna be the new man of the year (Year)
No cap 'til it's hands everywhere
Pops telling me that I'll never make it
Now I got proof that I'm takin' it there (There)
On bro, know I cannot be scared
I gotta do it like Nike Air
They gon' see a new man in the mirror
Like GQ, GQ Man of the Year (Yeah)
I wanna be the new man of the year (Year)
No cap 'til it's hands everywhere
Pops telling me that I'll never make it
Now I got proof that I'm takin' it there (There)
On bro, know I cannot be scared
I gotta do it like Nike Air
They gon' see a new man in the mirror
Like GQ, GQ Man of the Year (Year)

[Verse]
Word to my bros, I gotta prove I ain't down for the count
And my head got a pound full of doubt
Pops threatening to kick me to the towns (Towns)
Lit a fire, they thinkin' was doused
Anxiety stricken, I mentally drowned
Ironic when shit finally flipped around
Went from black sheep to the man of the house (House)
Been a man on a mission
Paranoid, thinkin' 'bout what's they intention
And my hands get sweaty, inhibition
Trust nobody, know I've been a cynic
Been ho'd way too many times
Maybe that's why I got a slanted vision
Fool me once, won't fool me again
'Cause I might sin, can't 'ford to be slippin'
Still makin' 'em bounce (Bounce), to the boom of the 808s
As I'm lookin' around, still feel like them same ol' days (Days)
And this shit feel wild (Wild), but look how far I've done came (Came)
Take a sip of an ounce, then we gon' dance 'til the pain go away
I wanna be the next man of the year
Told brodie, "I cannot be scared"
I'm finna put my whole life in this pen
Pray God that I'll win, work hard 'til we there
Even when moms and pops stay buggin'
I keep on the buzzing, no hands on the wheel
No time for depression, know I can't afford it
With nothing to lose, how can I feel fear?
I wanna be the man of the house
Until no checks get bounced
Until we up at the penthouse, floor to the ceilin' view of the town
Until my kids can live with a life stress-free of a roach and mouse
Until my bros got cribs down billionaire row, I ain't givin' an ounce
Bro tryna say I made it, but, I am nowhere near famous
In the lab on the daily, been trainin'
'Til they can't say, "It's 'cause he's Asian"
All my life, was a good kid, playin' with sharks in the hood
Lucky that I evade it
Never did I front with the fake shit
Always stayed real to the ones who was stayin'
[Chorus]
I wanna be the new man of the year (Year)
No cap till it's hands everywhere
Pops telling me that I'll never make it
Now I got proof that I'm taking it there (There)
On bro, know I cannot be scared
I gotta do it like Nike Air
They gon' see a new man in the mirror like GQ, GQ, Man of the Year (Year)

[Outro]
I wanna be the new Man of the Year (Year)
No cap till it's hands everywhere
Pops telling me that I'll never make it
Now I got proof that I'm taking it there (There)
On bro, know I cannot be scared
I gotta do it like Nike Air
They gon' see a new man in the mirror like GQ, GQ, Man of the—
