Music: Naomi Agosto/Louis Nelson Jr.
I was once caught up in the scope of it all
How men teach boys how they supposed to respond
To the women that surround them when they know that it's wrong So I held myself accountable and wrote em a song
See this is where I was not where I am today
Took a lil time but I had a plan to change
I'm thankful for all the women that handled me with grace
I listened and that made me be the man I am today
Church
She like it slower than a tortoise and the way that she contorted Had me praying to the lord If
She could teach me how to please her I could learn it like a chorus I could be a better man If I could be less of a fortress
Yeah I could benefit not be a degenerate
Or focus on sex and how she only wants the Benjamin's
Na this is medicine focused on what she said again
Listening attentively I'm tryna set a precedent
I'm tryna be the best not a savage or a separatist
For that I gotta stretch and shed the habits of a pessimist
And open myself to the possibility
That I could break cycle of thinking my pops instilled in my Whoa, did I just have an epiphany
Should I hold myself accountable for past things that I didn't see I'm sick of me
Sittin in the shit so long I couldn't smell it
But now I get it, yeah
She aint a gold digga but wants a man that got it too
Not a bum and when he hungry he can cook himself a pot of food Crib gotta be clean and the same goes for his body too
Vibe gotta be peaceful he competin wit my solitude
Ok I'm takin notes mentally I'm changing roads
All my misconceptions for ladies daily are fadin slow
I played the role based on whatever knowledge was given
I was misguided on how to maintain an honest commitment Look, my daddy cheated and I seen women get beaten
Not a rare occurrence shit was just happenin every weekend
On my side of town
Shoulda been tryin to make my momma proud
But I was ridin round wit OG's boastin they body count
They made it seem like most ladies only good for makin babies Or they crazy spray paintin your Mercedes
I guess we got a lot to reexamine
Women are much more than we imagined
I'm startin to see the magic
I was once caught up in the scope of it all
How men teach boys how they supposed to respond
To the women that surround them when they know that it's wrong So I held myself accountable and wrote them this song
This is where I was not where I am today
Took a lil time but I had a plan to change
I'm thankful for all the women handlin me with grace currently
As a courtesy I stand and I give you praise
Peace
