Nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same, nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same
[Verse 1]
Waking up to this disarray
This uncertainness only seems to serve the misery
Maya place on me, mother take from me
All of this false shit, I do not need it
I believe in magic because I've seen it
Nothing new, the ego, you know already how it goes
I've got a strong mind, strong girl
From my head to my toe, back to my ego
These earthly habits, they've got to gеt going
I've let go of desirеs, but I have truly let go of the fires
That burn them and fuel them
It's so hard to be human
With a battling mind
I have lost all devotion over time
I'm on the path of remembrance
And I'm remembering fine, having nothing that's mine
Only borrowing time, my kind
Chatting to God, unworthy of His time
With all these doubts in my mind
Cannot cast aside, left to struggle in my rhymes
[Chorus]
Nah, it ain't the same being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same, nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same (Nah, it ain't the same)
Being a man today (Being a man today)
[Verse 2]
Inner battles dwell like city kids beneath the poverty line
I'm feeding my senses
Food for thought is money well spent-ed
'Cause most of our so-called knowledge is rented, invented
Depends-es on flippant friends-es
Social scenarios, hollow like Cheerios
You hear me though
Never thought I'd be coming out your stereo
But there we go, maktub, y'all
It's written, you know
[Chorus]
Nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same, nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Being a man today (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
No, it ain't the same
Being a man today
No, it ain't the same
No, it ain't the same
No, it ain't the same
[Refrain]
(I say man, I mean human and woman)
(And you man and you man)
(And me man, said, we man, yeah, we man, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
Being a man today
Being a man today
Being a man today
(Yeah, man, yeah, man)
Being a man today (Yeah, man, yeah, man)
Being a man today (Yeah, man, yeah, man)
Being a man today
Being a man today
[Outro]
It ain't the same, nah, it ain't the same, yeah
No, it ain't the same
Being a man today
No, it ain't the same
(Man made, man made)
Being a man today
Inner battles dwell like city kids beneath the poverty line
I'm feeding my senses
