Being responsible for everybody and yo' own man
And I demand respect from all if not then I'm waistin' a man
Geezy, Juve and Turk, B and Slim, dawg pay attention, dawg
And when you feel like everything is goin' wrong, man
Look who I be around nigga, look who I been around nigga
And I'll keep this thing brutained on the waist of my pants
And when you feel like everything is goin' wrong, man
I slip a clip in every rip 'cuz haters likely to trip
I'm gon' stand 'cuz I am a grown man
I'm gon' stand 'cuz I am a grown man
And I don't need nobody so keep yo advice and just dom it
And I borrow confidence from out my heart when things get awful
And even though I grew up hard and I have gracefully change
Being responsible for everybody and yo' own man
And put up with the stuff trust me it's tough
But don't mistake me, no other man can never make me or break me
And say a prayer for everyday just so I get through the stuff but I be like
And I don't play with them at all so I don't say its a game
But in the mean partner, I'm fightin' gun charges in court
'Cuz I think I speak for every one when I say life is a bitch
Go to the club and start a fight thinkin' I'm Tyson and shit
But I chose my own life so I gradually accept it
Ah man, it's complicated doin' everything on your own, man
I love you daddy now and that kinda juice me up
But I get up this stick out my chest and clutch on my nuts
I'm influenced and effected by the way it became
Ah man, it's complicated doin' everything on your own, man
And someway I still pick it out and shuffle to conclusion
And if I want it then I get and if I need it I have it
But when they turn they back I just have Jesus leadin' my path
I'm gon' stand 'cuz I am a grown man
Come home to my future wife and every nite she'll flip
Ah man, it's complicated doin' everything on your own, man
And when you feel like everything is goin' wrong, man
And I'm walkin' on the edge stuck without a solution
But just know if I wasn't a man I wouldn't make it through
So if my dawgs be on my side they keep me compile with spirit
And in a couple of weeks our next tour about to start
And I didn't ask for you to like me, I don't care if you hate me
But I maintain to climb through it all
I'm gon' stand 'cuz I am a grown man
Being responsible for everybody and yo' own man
And when you feel like everything is goin' wrong, man
Cuz' y'all cats don't really no me, y'all just know 'bout me
Ah man, it's complicated doin' everything on your own, man
Now you faithfully inspired by the hood, tell I'm gone
I'm gon' stand 'cuz I am a grown man
And I get hit up with all kinda stress
And I dawg, I do believe I'm grown, so I'll be good on my own but I be like
She end up catchin' rights to her lips behind diapers and shit
And when you feel like everything is goin' wrong, man
And I'm so often I'm congratulated for the succeeded at last
And I ain't never said they don't appreciate what I do
I ride D L into the C L, gun right in my grip
Who would have known that this was somethin'
And when you feel like everything is goin' wrong, man
And I not might be dumb but niggas gone definitely respect me
Ah man, it's complicated doin' everything on your own, man
Being responsible for everybody and yo' own man
Take care of my family first plus the liquor and weed is a habit
Being responsible for everybody and yo' own man
That didn't turn out so hectic
I'm gon' stand 'cuz I am a grown man
Ah man, it's complicated doin' everything on your own, man
I'm gon' stand 'cuz I am a grown man
Age is nothin' but some digits nigga trust me on this
And plus I know my fathers watchin' and my mother's the dearest
But I'm a man so I'm here to handle my situations correctly
And usually I'm fed up thinkin' everything's a set up
Being responsible for everybody and yo' own man
And when you feel like everything is goin' wrong, man
I try to keep my head up but I die to keep my bread up
Ah man, it's complicated doin' everything on your own, man
And dawg, I live for today and hope and pray that there's a tomorrow
And I still manage to be Lil' Wayne therefore I shine and I ball
It's like I'm livin' happy now, except for the fact my daughter sayin'
And I smoke about 3 blunts and puff a cooler bust me up
Being responsible for everybody and yo' own man
But I like when we split drink Henny without ice when I'm pissed
I'm always street so I'll forever be facin' a change
