Stand Like A Man Lyrics

Guilty by association

Never been average

Yeah Nigga

And I'm a long way from basic

Been thru the struggle

I had to hustle

Let my mind be the muscle

Cocaine den changed

Hell naw the game ain't the same

Salute to the gangstas

On they growth and development

Niggas really be telling shit

Even giving up evidence

I'm just stacking my presidents

Mind my business no medaling

Got me clutching my metal

Been tryna stay way from devils

I'm thanking god I know better

Ain't gotta settle for lesser

I'm thanking god I know better

Ain't gotta settle for lesser

Been thru the fire With that fire

Been thru the storm and the rain

It made me stand like a mane

Yeah

Been thru the fire With that fire

Been thru the storm and the rain

It made me stand like a mane

Ten toes down

Came in a somebody

They told the world I'm nobody

Miscounted subtracted

Where they should have been Adding

Voices that spook in doubt

Took me for granted

Laughed at my struggle

Turned the back on me

They didn't believe i would achieve

Want put my trust in no men

Keep my faith in god

Gotta protect my heart

No more room on this elevator

I'm leaving won't see you later

For all the time I done gave you

You really done been ungrateful

Don't call me for no more favors

Been thru the fire With that fire

Been thru the storm and the rain

It made me stand like a mane

Been thru the fire With that fire

Been thru the storm and the rain

It made me stand like a mane

Ten toes down

Asking for wisdom knowledge

And understanding of who with me

And who against me

Hurt me and playing victim

All I can do is forgive em

Thought they had me down

And defeated

Grew bigger and better

Turnt up the heat like the weather

Turned dem table's around

Them smiles turned quickly to Frown

Them haters want me to drown

Don't got no time for you clown

Been thru the fire and didn't fold

I wear my pain like some gold

If it ain't about peace

Then I go nowhere I'm stiff as a pole

Been thru the fire With that fire

Been thru the storm and the rain

It made me stand like a mane

Ten toes down

Been thru the fire With that fire

Been thru the storm and the rain

It made me stand like a mane

Yeah
