Many Men (Remix) Lyrics

Many Men (Remix) - Merkules

...

Why the fuck is everyone pretending that we friends? (Wow)

I know they just wanna benefit off everything I've did (uh-huh)

'Cause they know if they don't that means they're never gonna win

But where the fuck were they when all I really had was fifty cents? (Huh)

I'm surrounded by these cowards so it's hard for me to trust

That's why my guard's forever up, I swear to God I'm going nuts (argh)

And this is therapeutic, I put my life on every track

So don't try to shake my hand when there's a knife still in my back (argh)

I got PTSD from the shit I did in my past

I keep an eye out for the snakes, I know they hiding in the grass

That's why I'm naturally nervous, they wanna grab what's on my plate

But that's what happens when you've actually been stabbed right in your face

I'm tryna act like it's okay but it's a battle every day

Had no cash to get no chase so I had to drink it straight

Now I'm a rapper with a name, in a mansion with a chain

Well, I grew up around gorillas, it was planet of the apes (argh)

So what's gangster? Gangster is providing for your family (yeah)

Gangster's when your kids are happy to call you daddy (that's right)

Gangster's when you don't have to act like someone you isn't

Gangster's when you warn these kids not to become a new statistic (one hundred)

Being gangster is a lifestyle, it's not a religion (nah)

So let's keep it gangster, I just explained the definition (yah)

And if you don't believe me, okay, show me the evidence

'Cause I ain't scared of no one but I'm respect by many men

I been through a lotta bullshit, seen a lotta hard times

I made it out by myself

So I'm not the type to fake shit, you see it on my face, yeah

No matter what, I'm myself

So you do you and I'll just do me

Used to look in the mirror and wonder who's he

I don't run from my past when it gets too deep

I don't wanna live my life that way

I was partying a lot but what was I celebrating? (I don't know)

When I pick up this pen it's my deepest state of meditation (that's right)

I wish I could see the look on all your faces when I made it (I'm happy)

Went from a tenant to the landlord, I came up from the basement (yup)

Living dangerous taught me reap what you sow, life is too precious (facts)

Told my demons please leave me alone, I've learned my lesson

Don't say only God can judge me 'cause I see things clear (uh-huh)

Stuck to rapping or they'd give my fat ass a bunch of years (real shit)

I don't call it a mistake if it meant that I learned something

First Canada gave you Drake, they didn't see Merk coming (not at all)

Scared to face all of my fears, I was just turn running

Now it's 2022 and I swear it's my turn, fuck it

I know it's hard as it is that my heart is too big

So when I wear it on my sleeve then I'm a target again (oops)

Now all these artists make a profit when it's not how they live

'Cause all that matters to them's how big their following is (corny)

So trust me if you wanna have that energy then keep it all (uh-huh)

Those friends I lost you're better off to never talk to me

'Cause if you set me up, I'll bet the odds I'm stepping off the deep end

I been through a lot of bullshit, seen a lot of hard times

I made it out by myself

So I'm not the type to fake shit, you see it on my face, yeah

No matter what, I'm myself

So you do you and I'll just do me

Used to look in the mirror and wonder who's he

I don't run from my past when it gets too deep

I don't wanna live my life that way

I been through a lot of bullshit, seen a lot of hard times

I made it out by myself

So I'm not the type to fake shit, you see it on my face, yeah

No matter what, I'm myself

So you do you and I'll just do me

Used to look in the mirror and wonder who's he

I don't run from my past when it gets too deep

I don't wanna live my life that way

Ain't no rapper better than

Please show me the evidence

Ain't built like me, dawg, I'm on fire right now

I'm that motherfucking guy right now

Who's next like me?
