Evolution of A Man
[Verse 1]
You're looking at a man with the heart of a lion
Got my eyes on the prize
I'm a get it or die trying
Comin from the bottom you can't take me no lower
Got the talent, the passion and I'm destined to take it over
Who am I? I'm not the one to be disrespected
Who am I? I'm changing the game, teaching a lesson
But the nay sayers try to blur my vision
Im so focused makin moves with grace and precision
Ima do it for me and everybody in the struggle
All my ancestors that died in the past to give me muscles
I'm a man, no matter if you got the upper hand
I'm a man with gods gift to get it the best
I'm a man

[Hook]
I'm a M-A-N
I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a M-A-N
(You ain't dealing with no boy, I'm a grown-ass man)
I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a M-A-N

[Verse 2]
Im a big fish in a small pond
Left the country for the city to get it done
They underestimate me try to treat me like a boy
But I flipped it around
Now I'm the one they can't ignore
I know what I'm worth and I want every cent
Try to short me again
And I'ma click in this bitch just to get me what's mine
Nothing more nothing less
And ima give you my all
Nothing less than the best
Please have the respect
I done felt enough pain
I done give you enough
To get where im at it ain't a game
I'm a M-A-N
Im takin a stand
Rub me the wrong way and you gonna find out
You dealin with a man
[Hook]
I'm a M-A-N
I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a M-A-N
(You ain't dealing with no boy, I'm a grown-ass man)
I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a M-A-N
I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a M-A-N
I'm a man, I'm a man
