I'm not the man


[Wretch 32]
I been a wretch from about 3 or 2
cruisin with the tele it was on channel 2
my dad was in the riots so they came to seize you
growing up I was a kid that everybody knew
no me, its like I'm never in the mood a true pisces my emotions in my tunes
its an understatement to say its over with me and you
I took a few shots but I'm soldiering it through
and now I'm looking at my boys turned men
thinkin lord god we coulda been like them
cuz we aint the type to fear our opponents the road door closed when my career door opened
its like i'm drinking more than I'm thinking celebrating as I'm crossing off my wish list
I'm sleeping with both eyes open
I'm living my dream man, I dont wanna miss this

[Angel]
I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
just take a second get to know me

[Wretch 32]
It takes a second just to look me in my eyes
it takes an hour just to listen to my lies
it took me years just to push me to this hype
but it take a lifetime to try and duplicate my vibe i'm me
smooth with my scratches and scars I'm free
2 minute stamp on the charts
and I'm sending a letter, I hope you receive it
hand on my heart imma flow while its beating
to put it in words, it coulda been worse
from the undergrounds I coulda been dirt
I took a right turn at a wrong place
cuz sometimes shortcuts are the long way
gotta have strong faith
now I'm pleading with my baby mamma
she tryin to tell me that I turned into a lady lover
I got my eye on the prize and I'm bringing home the bread
lets make a toast, you can save the butter

[Angel]
I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
just take a second get to know me

I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
just take a second get to know me

[Chipmunk]
hey yo wretch
let me get this from here
last month a 14 year old in my hood got stabbed and died
I used to cruise on my bike down that same side road that he lost his life
I fill a cup with tears and kick it back jlike a shot just to swallow my pride
niggas would eat from your bowl and keep you down like pin make you hunger strike
you dont know what its like
getting cheese amongst a rats fam
from a town where robin could rob batman
taxman underneth taxman giving me that tax man, I'd rather that fam
and everything aint what it seems on these shelves
you parting red seas and A n R-ing our shelfs
and you can still get a deal and get shelved
getting signed wont necessarily help
all this fire in my tank, I've come to far to get shanked
I'm walking on water that others sank and I'm laughing all the way to the bank
power of the grime, lord on my side, test me I can make a pretcher man grimes
from a council estate but yeah we made it
best things can come from the worse places

[Angel]
I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
just take a second get to know me

I'm not the man you thought I should be
that's just the way we drop them jeans where I stay
I'm not the man you thought I should be
just take a second get to know me

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
