Chorus (4x)
I’m a Man of Steel, I’m a Man of Steel
I won’t take the easy way, I’m a Man of Steel
Verse 1
I don’t carry a hammer but I’m still hard
I don’t carry a pistol but I’m still large
They ain’t gotta fear me for me to be in charge
My status ain’t determined by the rims on my car
Furthermore, my worth isn’t valued by the thoughts
And compliments of a man when I’m in the spot
I learned that hard way, glad I learned it early doe
Cause some of my homies dead or jail is where they surely go
Most things glamorized on TV are tainted
Fictions and fantasies seem to be painted
By the artist we see today as if gun violence really pays
What about the consequence? It’s gotta be a better way
Rappers getting rich at the expense of our kid’s minds
The radio is playing garbage 90 percent of the time
We gotta change the hearts and minds of these youth
So rappers, quit glorifying tech 9’s and bullet proofs
Verse 2
I’m a man of steel like Shaquille O’Neal
You see ya boy k-Drama everyday in the field
I’m a business man, yeah I keep it legal
The love of the art is always my diesel
I stay on my grind, even when it gets hard
Life deals and whatever’s dealt, I play the cards
So when they doubt me or if they call me church
I think of the end results and it brings me joy
There were times in my life when we was dirt poor
But I ain’t grab a gun and rob the nearest corner store
I remember that time when I got jumped on Blair
But I ain’t grab a gun and go back there
To retaliate, and best believe I was mad
But that wouldn’t have solved anything if I would have
I just would’ve made it worse; I could be a disfigured man
Or a dead statistic, so I had to be the bigger man
Verse 3
I don’t carry a hammer but I’m still hard
I don’t carry a pistol but I’m still large
They ain’t gotta fear me for me to be in charge
My status ain’t determined by the rims on my car
Furthermore, my worth isn’t valued by the thoughts
And compliments of a man when I’m in the spot
I learned that hard way, glad I learned it early doe
Cause some of my homies dead or jail is where they surely go
A man of steel is slow to anger and wrath
A man of steel doesn’t find his answers in a gun blast
A man of steel doesn’t act how he feels
He acts on what’s right, no matter the deal
Sometimes it’s hard to let it slide, that’s what makes you hard
Sometimes it’s hard to call it truths, that’s what makes you hard
Sometimes it’s hard to keep it legal, that’s what makes you hard
Sometimes it’s hard to do what’s right, that’s what makes you hard
