A Man

[Intro]

Uh, yeah

So many people

They wanna know my opinion on the whole situation, but

[Hook]

A man, a man

A man, a man

A man, a man

A man, a man

[Verse]

I wonder, who do you believe in? I know it ain't me

I hope it ain't a priest or who you see on TV

I hope it ain't your poppa, partner, he only raised you

And I know it ain't your mom, even though that's who you came through

I'm asking who you pray to, some believe in angels

Some believe in one God, some believe in Jesús

Some believe in all of it, and I don't mean a part of it ain't true

I know that someone started it, and I know it ain't you

The creator of them blue skies

The great blue sea, or hey me, a cool guy

Who few relate to like, I'm confused too

What does a Jew do?

What does a black man in Iran who's never heard of Jesús choose?

And who do you choose, the heart said the youth

The mind said the truth

The blind led the blind here to heaven with a sign saying "I choose you"

But left you behind, like no one can explain it

It's like one religion can't contain it

And I ain't the man that's tryna change it, I just want answers

Live no cameras, fuck the propaganda

Many souls stranded 'cause they took a book for granted

Some planted seeds to feed the mind peace over greed

I just keep the truth that I read

World on their knees while their innocence bleeds

And you keep funding wars with money from your source

The shame is all ours, but God, I'm all yours, save me

Before the doors close and them horns blown

And I'm alone in my grave thinking maybe

I shoulda prayed more for peace, love, and unity

Between you and me, no matter who you choose to be

Pop telling me that, the Muslims won't make it

And the Muslims telling me my pop won't make it

Yet they both praise Him, night and day raise His Name

Until they day he came back to claim them

Is one gon' save them? And another take them? Doubt it

They telling me I shouldn't live without it

Belief, relief for the doubters, it keeps me clouded

Confused while I'm doing the knowledge

But my God said choose

I choose you, who do you choose?

I hope it ain't me, 'cause I'm just a MC

[Hook]

A man, a man

A man, a man

A man, a man

You know what I'm saying?

I just, I just be rapping
