High Road (The Man) Video (MV)

I don't look back on the tragedies that I have with through in my life
Jail, drugs, liquor - I don't put those labels on myself anymore
Because I've found that I have more love and respect for myself to carry me through anything

Yeah, I've been in prison must my life, half my life...
And when we feel that way, we give up on life and when we give up on life it destroys our spirits

I've been running
Running, running, running
Running, running, running
Running

I'm running away, I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away, I'm running away
I'm running away

From the negativity
All the shit that troubles me
From the negativity
All the shit that troubles me

Take it back to S.L., City Road is where I'm dated, yeah
Eating gari from the slum, more hunger I was sated, yeah
Knew I had to make it, either way, be dedicated, yeah
Running from the law, ever then stay elevated, yeah
(And I'm smiling today, I'm smiling today, I'm smiling today)
Focus like a monk, guess you'll say that I am on the rise
Never chase the rabbit, I done knew just where my fate reside
That's a scary site, ain't no fairytale, I'm just telling...
What define my write
Justifies their lies
Truth they've vandalize
Face decline in life
All the field I fight
Death or living plight
Search for peace at heart
Lost in grief I'm caught
Times of dark I ran
Through some shit I'm back
(Hol' up, hol' up, hol' up, hol' up)
Destitute a living proof
Got my dawgs saying woof (woof)
Hungry like needing food

Niggas talking shit like we never really doing nice
Anything we do boy we never do it for the pride
I done live from skid a row, I guess that shit done make me grow
That's no fairytale, I'm just telling fair, I'm just telling...

I'm running away, I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away, I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away, I'm running away
I'm running away
I'm running away, I'm running away
I'm running away

Best believe in these visions
Are my death or life tuitions
I can't sit and just listen
Need to find my own reason
Not to live as your victim
On the edge but stay striven
I'm the boy with ambition
Dedicate these words written

Grandma told me I'm the man
I'ma live like I'm the man
You can't knock my struggles when
I isolate my traits and then
Lurk for leech 'fore time instead
Tuck my belt and struck in stead
I'm at ease but still can vent
Anyone that cross my end
Never smoke or drink, the saint
I am just a soul in tube
Living life off solitude
F*ck the school, your system man
Self-esteem I'm on the run
They can't grade my acuity
They can't treat me like a dirt
Grandma told me I'm the man
I'ma live like I'm the man
I'ma be like I'm the man
You can't tell me anything
The T.O.V that's Sesa, man
That's my girl we on the work
Testify we on our mission
This our lives, we stay dreaming
We the youth of our nation
Melanin my team winneth
Even though they show malice
Really though, man goddamnit
Intercept you'll get damage
I'm the shit you can't manage
I'm the...

Cautious, think first
Stay strong for the best for if shit worst
Don't trust or skip cause you're nauseous
Stay in search for the deep end, skip friends
Absurd if you think I'll quite, hush!
I'll move albeit my feet hurt
Or jump like a spring from the pitfall
Or jump like a spring from the... - never quit
