Saint Lyor Sinnerman (outro) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know what I'm faced with
I'm not on the same shit
My journey is mine it's a nation I had to know that before I start
The more I'm giving myself to the music
The more I'm protectin' my heart
I hate I won't do a part
I love it I can't do it down
Niggas is running their mouth
But won't make a sound when niggas is near
I feel like niggas is scared
I feel like running for mayor
All of this confidence I had to build
All of this ego that I had to kill
Nothing is free, not even my will
I'm heating up when I gotta chill
Mommy and daddy they couldn't get a lump

[?] was raising himself
Looking for answers, I'm looking for help
Look in the mirror and better yourself
One thing I never will be is entitled
I carry myself like I am a disciple
When I was younger I never had faith
Cause I couldn't relate to none of my idols
Like what you do to get here
If I met you I probably would hate you
Or maybe I'm being unfair
Success is everyone's dream
But I feel like it's ruining me
And I feel like it's ruining us
I look at my brothers and sisters I still don't know who I could trust
I'm sinning enough for the both of us
I'm beginning to think they're ain't no hope for us
I'm beginning to think they're ain't no hope for me
I'm still doing my thing while I'm ignorant
I'm still f*cking bitches I lose interest in
My vices got me losing innocence
Falling shorter than I shoulda been
Caught in a memory, things that I shoulda did
Niggas still playing pyramid
I'm working harder than ever
To be the person that I needed when I was a little kid
I'm just gon' need me a little sip
Niggas keep telling me stories
All the stupid shit they did for glory
I'm influenced by niggas before me
It's up to me to find out where I'm going
But everything going as planned
I don't have a clue but I still understand
Cause I know that I'm only a man
And when no one was holding my hand
I was alone holding on to a pen
My headphones was my only friend
Living life like it came to an end
I'm a sinner I'll say it again
I'm a sinner I'm only a man
I'm a sinner I'm only a man
