[Token - Real Man lyrics]
Shyea
Residing in a town where weed is glorified
It was nothing, shit it wasn't weird to see
Some boys get high
See Ben used to burn some
But currently his turn was done
Anxiety left Ben regretting his first puff
But sure enough
He still hung with the same dudes
He was cool with this
'cause you got a blunt he don't hate you
He's the youngin in they crew
But you'da never noticed and
The dude that was
The oldest was the coolest and the boldest
See everybody loved him 'cause they
Knew when he was rollin'
Through to meet the homies
It was soon that they'd be smokin'
See he was the movement of the potent
QP's he'd be holdin' and his
New deals were the dopest
And him and Ben were tight
Even occasionally he spent the night
When he was locked out
And couldn't get inside
He recognized Ben didn't smoke but
This was something new
This gave him an idea that he'd
Bring up a few days later
The crew was rolling up some J papers
Taylor gang was playing
They exhaled in dazed anger
As the oldest one turns to Ben
With hands hidden in his coat
Pulled out an O and said "You
Ever think of flippin' bro?"
Drugs, money, support, what else you need?
Temporary money get that
Temporary self esteem drugs, money, support
Just don't get brainwashed
Peer pressure doin' it's dang job
Man what you talkin' 'bout?
Let's get this money
Homie let's get this money
I gotta go, yo, I'ma get this money
Get out my face with your opinions
I got paper to be gettin' like a real man
He gave Ben his speech
Seemin' almost memorized
All the attention in the room
Went to Ben's reply
He told Ben he got the heart it takes
The money hangin' out his pocket
Said let's start today "Aye, you right homie
Matter fact I'm 'bout to blaze
Take this plate this chick by the bank say
She need a slice homie
Have her take your number
Tell her you're down with me
Dawg we bout to make a killin' in this town
Believe" and how right he was
Ben didn't smoke his chronic so for the first
Time it was only profiting both they pockets
Ben begun to get addicted
The news spread quicker than Ben's temper if
He didn't get money every twenty minutes
He single handedly changed the scene
So busy lying to his
Own mother became routine but he loved it
He loved that they relied on
Him a fair amount
Came a long way from being the
Youngin no one cared about
They needed him now, so typical
No one expected little Ben
To be sellin' shit, he felt invincible
And if he wasn't there was
No reason to stress it
The oldest one gave him a knife
He said this is for protection
Ben had everything going for him
A boss who had his back
A substance that always would attract
And the profit in a closet in the back
Pay no mind to the cops
Until they caught him in the act when it was
Drugs, money, support, what else you need?
Temporary money get that
Temporary self esteem drugs, money, support
Just don't get brainwashed
Peer pressure doin' it's dang job
Man what you talkin' 'bout?
Let's get this money
Homie let's get this money
I gotta go, yo, I'ma get this money
Get out my face with your opinions
I got paper to be gettin' like a real man
Oh, you a man, huh?
In the police station, hands shakin'
But actin like you don't give a damn
Huh? Your mom pulls up in a van
Covers her eyes with
Her hands and all you thinkin'
Is she don't understand, huh?
Listen to that
You knew happy don0t symbolize growth but a
Weak child fallin' into a trap
I fiend for profit, deep involved in a
Loss of a stream of consciousness
All when he's too naive to
Watch and see the problem
Ignorance in a system pressured by peers
Holding a knife like your gonna use it
But you dread it with fear
Cause the moment you pullin' out that
They pull out theirs
And you'll be leakin' more than
Just sweat and some tears
Ahead of your years? Sure
But you ain't do your job dude
You think you lost touch with your friends
They think they lost you
Little did you know, you were losing yourself
Now you gotta explain to
Your friends and family
You were someone else when it was
Drugs, money, support, what else you need?
Temporary money get that
Temporary self esteem drugs, money, support
Just don't get brainwashed
Peer pressure doin' it's dang job
Man what you talkin' 'bout?
Let's get this money
Homie let's get this money
I gotta go, yo, I'ma get this money
Get out my face with your opinions
I got paper to be gettin' like a real man
