Strive ft. Fred Nice Lyrics

I just wanna be the man

I don't think y'all understand

Working (Work)

Working

Working

I just wanna be the man

I just wanna world up in my hand

Working

Working

Working (Yeah yeah yeah)

I just wanna be the man

I don't think y'all understand

That I'm working

I'm working

I'm working yeah

I just want to be the man

I just want to have the world up in my hand (Yeah)

I'm working

I'm working

I'm working yeah yeah yeah yeah (Yeah)

Strive for a goal

Never blind but I fold

Bread right up in my pocket

And my mind full of gold

Gotta put your feet to the floor

To make a step

Pedal to the metal

Tunnel your vision and do the best

That you can do

Looking at them we resemble each other

Call me your brother then pull the pistol Suspenseful

Low self esteem and resentful

The streets raised most of the hood

No parental

Motivated counting the odds

That's against you

We all have a talent a skill

Some potential

Push through like inner strength

It's within you

Whoever don't eat at the table

Is on the menu

Simple we roll up one

For the mental

Celebrate the ones that's here

Who been officially

We the Fam

Thoughts visual gotta see the plan

The road rough

Gotta work hard wanna be the man

I just wanna be the man

I don't think y'all understand

That I'm working

I'm working

I'm working yeah

I just wanna be the man

I just wanna have the world up in my hand (Yeah)

I'm working

I'm working

I'm working yeah yeah yeah yeah (Yeah)

The stories they done told them all

Never been a show it off

You'll learn that

You know nothing

Thinking you know it all

I think that I was born to brawl

All my life had to fight

Words from the wise old timer

Thought it was bad advice

We was out acting like

Hustlers trapper life

Faking it just to make it

My niggas wasn't the capping type

Going hard all in the paint

But wasn't Shaq in height

Sports, drugs or entertainment

It was crack or mics

Re again

We ain't have nothing to believing in

Ain't see it then

Mislead youth tryna be the man

From teens to men

The streets make it hard to find peace within

We was then

Taught hold your emotions

Told to keep it in

I know I can if could

Put my mind on it

Be whatever I wanna be

Just like Nas chorus

Mind forces telling right now

The time calling

Grind towards it

Very hard and often gotta strive for it

Black people walk like that cause we have style

We got flavor

We got rhythm

I mean bar none

Everybody wanna be a nigga

But nobody wanna be a nigga

How about that question

The Colonel's a nigga now

The Colonel's a nigga now

He done earned so much chicken he's a nigga now

I just wanna be the man

I don't think y'all understand

That I'm working

I'm working

I'm working yeah

I just want to be the man

I just want to have the world up in my hand (Yeah)

I'm working

I'm working

I'm working yeah yeah yeah yeah (Yeah)

I just wanna be the man

Yeah yeah yeah yeah (Yeah)
