(He was a good man, and he lived his life
every day did what he had to survive
You know he went into school
He'd respect the golden rule,
Man he weren't no fool,That's right
So what you gotta do to be a good man,
is live that plan and be a good man
Cmon people lay it down, that's whats going round
here what it takes to be a good man)
Yo, I'm tryin to be a good man
Even though sometime, my life, get's a little bit off track
That's why I'm doing this track, cuz it's hot
I gotta do this for the people on the block
Trying to hustle
You understand, I'm trying to be good
Even though my neighborhood...man
I don't know, I gotta stay straight
Gotta stay strong
I can't say nmmm to a girl with a thong
I've got to be the man, in my family
You understand me, yeah
I'm trying to be a good boy
In a good neighborhood
That's all I'm tryin to do, is I'm trying to do good
Tryin to be a good boy, in the neighborhood
That's all I'm tryin to do, is tryin to be good
Sometimes, I'm bad cuz my life...
Cause, yeah you know how I don't get a knife
Or I don't get the drugs
I try to stay away, from those thugs
But you know it's sorta hard when my blocks made of 'em
Yeah, ya'll know how I come before them
Oh Yeah..yeah
(Did what he could, respected people everytime he could
Gave a little break to a man that...hands out on his luck
That's what he did...to be a good man,
you could be a good man too
Don't you know, that's all you've got to do
Is look in your heart
make a new start
Face the mirror man
and have a little part of society, that's right)
(Umm, Hmm..We can change the world, that's right,
we can make a difference, we can make it better)
That's right, Boy
You understand, I'm tryin to be good
You gotta get that
I'm tryin my hardest man
(Ladies you could be a good man too)
To all my family, when I have troubles
Or when I'm being bad, I'm trying to be good
understand that
Sometimes it's hard
Going to school, playin, playin in the schoolyard
With...peer pressure asking me if I want drugs
Cuz I look like I'm a full up frickin thug
Because...I rap or something like that
People talk...(watch out)
people make fun of me and say I'm black
Or call me a 'Wigger', yo but I don't really care
(Cuz I rap!)
Cuz this is what I like...
(Cmon)
Yeah, I'm tryin to be a good boy in a good neighborhood
Tryin to do good, y'all gotta understand that
I'm tryin my hardest
tryin my hardest
tryin my hardest
I'm tryin to be a good boy, good neighborhood
You gotta understand that I'm tryin to be good
I'm tryin my hardest from the bottom of my heart
It's just sometimes so hard
It's just sometimes so hard
There's been days, I wanna go up to my room and cry
Some days that, I just feel like I wanna die
Cuz everythings going wrong, every thing you heard
Man, yo, you've got my word
Cause I know a lotta people understand me
But you gotta stand, you gotta be manly
You understand what I said..cause, like I said...
Check it out
I'm tryin to be a good boy in a good neighborhood
Yeah y'all know, I'm trying to do good
You could call me black, you could call me a wigger
But I don't really care, no I don't need a trigger
Oh, yeah
I'm just tryin to be a good boy
Trying to be a good boy
Tryin to do my best, I'm tryin to get my money out to the rest
who have nothing
So if you think I'm frontin', I'm not
Cuz I'm really, really hot
Yeah, Check it out
I know I said some messed up things to somebody
But I'm so sorry, you hurt me buddy
And if I get in...trouble with my friends
If I don't share my Mercedes Benz, or whatever
For any kind of weather, y'all know that I'm bad sometimes
but whatever, you 've got to put it behind you
and move on, move forward, yeah, yeah you've got that word
Tryin to be a good boy in a good neighborhood
y'all gotta
