Man of the Year Songtext
von Tedashii

(Fixxie made this here for me)
(Mercy, mercy)

They say I′m too far gone
Can't keep up with me, I made it out of the street
Tried to take me out of my league
′Cause where I'm from people don't make it out
I took a whole ′nother direction, found another route
Major, uh, where I′m from
It ain't no option but to do it big
I done made it out the slums
Whatever comes, that′s just what it is


I done came up from that island, Chris and David passin' dro
I just laid back with it smilin′ while they scrappin' back and forth
Ain′t no cappin' when we rappin', find an opp and drag him, bro
Like a Q they get to steppin′ when they hear that Calico
Yeah, we lit when Kenneth beat the case
Watch the cops spray him with mace
′Til he got hit with a stray
You can leave here any day
So when I say I made it out some of y'all just can′t relate
Some of y'all still run your mouth, all that smoke you need a vape

See me at the show, know that it′s for real
Could be gone, just know I'm still here
Jordan 1s, I crossed all of my fears
Got me feelin′ like the man of the year

They say I'm too far gone
Can't keep up with me, I made it out of the street
Tried to take me out of my league
′Cause where I′m from people don't make it out
I took a whole ′nother direction, found another route
Major, uh, where I'm from
It ain′t no option but to do it big
I done made it out the slums
Whatever comes, that's just what it is


I done made it out the slums
Grew up scrapin′ for the crumbs
Me and J goin' dumb
East Texas goin' up for me
Can′t forget where I′m from
Facing racists from the jump
Toast high, get the bubbly
God got it, we the one
Diamonds feelin' like a champion
Haters askin′ what camp we in
Sleepin' on me like an Ambien
Man, where I′m from the Hamilton
I ain't worried ′bout so and so
Unashamed, goin' coast to coast
Tell 'em book me out in Kosovo
Cup full, this the overflow, church

See me at the show, know that it′s for real
Could be gone, just know I′m still here
Jordan 1s, I crossed all of my fears
Got me feelin' like the man of the year

They say I′m too far gone
Can't keep up with me, I made it out of the street
Tried to take me out of my league
′Cause where I'm from people don′t make it out
I took a whole 'nother direction, found another route
Major, uh, where I'm from
It ain′t no option but to do it big
I done made it out the slums
Whatever comes, that′s just what it is
