HOOK
And I promise, and I promise
I’m accepting of my pride and that’s the man in me
I’m protecting and providing for my family
For my wife, give my life if she want it
That’s real ballin (that’s real ballin)
Yeah I’m on it
For my son and for my daughters man I’m all in
I might bump and I might stumble
I’m not falling (I’m not falling)
I go hard cause I know that they watching (know they watching)
Waiting for me (waiting for me)
Counting on me
VERSE 1
Come on
For my fam I can’t go wrong
Since I was young been living grown
Now I’m a man
I got something I can call my own
This my home, kiss my wife
Miss her ass like shit at night
I’m in the stu I’m making songs
Bae I know this dream is taking long
Patience strong, hold it down and play it tight
Make the kids FaceTime my phone
Daddy getting this paper right
For my daughters man I’ll take a life
But I really wanna just raise them right
I told my son he the leader now
If I don’t come home when I leave the house
You better G it out
Cause you know that shit get real
But I’m still
Going strong
All these bills
Rent, insurance, telephone
But with skills like I own
Lights still staying on
For my kids live and kill
That’s just real I ain’t wrong

VERSE 2
You could tell what I’m about
Nigga ima stand for mine
Never stand in line
Never got my hands out
Muthafucka I’m the man of my house
Yeah sometimes it don’t pan out
A lot of niggas can’t hang and ran out
I never did, and I don’t plan too
What I can’t do is abandon my child
Understand now
Every time you see me eating
It’s to keep the smiles on the mouths I’m feeding
If you need a reason then I got five of them
And the question ain’t
Will I’ll die for em
Will I live for em
Teach, protect and be a guide more
A providor
Cause how the streets affected my life
Nigga wasn’t born rich I can’t die poor
That’s why it’s all about
How I build my family
You know no cliques don’t run the world
Nigga it’s family
Last name on my jersey
Cause my only team is family
And if I lose it all right now
That’s all I got and all I need
That’s why…
