Role Model

so you tell me who the kids are looking up to
chee, superman chip, listen,
see they say that im a role model,
but i didnt ask to be,
you dont know what its like,
going college everyday in my hood,
when i know men are after me,
they wanna see me fall cause im on tv,
and all the little kids wanna be like me,
so i guess im a role model,
so i guess im a role model, listen,

balls in the sutin in the morn aint me,
human nature i grab what i see,
in fear of your life you'll grab whats insight
and swing from the left to the right, a light,
listen, me, im just like you,
my shit does stink, im human too,
so why should i make a man violate me,
if you dont ever make a man violate you.

see its more then a catch 22,
yeah im in the limelight, but what can i do,
if they choose to shut me out they will,
and so solid crew be the danm living proof,
she they need to promote, they promoted violence,
but did not provoke cry or broken silence,
but thats just the life of an artist,
the spotlight makes you a target.

so i guess im a role model, check it, listen,

im living proof you aint gotta be a nerd to get a's,
proof you aint gotta be a shark to get paid,
coming up i had some doors closed in my face,
but the road to sucess made me a lane,
gave me a way just me and my team,
kept seeing red but i move like its green,
i couldnt find money but id find home,
chasing the dream with a blind fold,
tryna find money with my eyes closed,
well i might as well have been,
tryna get to heaven but it feels like hell im in,
and gucci's got me blowin my doe,
cause i just spend money whenever i feel low,
i feel like my minds in a mosh pit,
but thats just the life of an artist,
see the spotlight made me a target,

so i guess im a role model, cee's up, listen,

growing up with you where theres more hate then love,
i was lookin up to men that made money off of drugs,
being surrounded by chicks in a club,
like who the hell said money cant but love,
and school is where the attitude starts,
more city learners are relevant outta class,
teach the kids to get a's & shit,
but dont tell a man to get mortgages,
societys designed to contain us in,
but i know just what id be here for,
cause i give them everything,
but they still want more,
and 2pac crew when they die they care more,
but i aint tryna die to sell,
but i aint tryna ask for help,
thats just the life of an artist,
spotlight made me a target,

so i guess im a role model,

see what people fail to understand,
is that when your an artist,
even when your in the right, your in the wrong,
you cant win,
lemme get some a's they wont put that in the paper,
but let me go mad,
and do a total madness,
probly even get the front page,
ageing to see me fall, it wont happen,
i got some awards on me now
