lyrics

[Intro]
Ugh, there's some things I just don't do
And there's some things that I won't do
I don't obsess with the pain
And all the stress and the strain
I know I'm blessed, so I rise up
I thank the Lord and I wise up
Am I obsessed with the gain?
There's so much wealth to attain

Listen…

[Verse 1]
Only one man, trying to do good
Trying to live right, wish that I would
Every day running through adulthood
Gotta maintain while the getting's so good
Image of God, no describing as lesser
Devil does dirt, we disguise it as pleasure
People throw stones like despising is better
I'm a diamond in dirt and I thrive under pressure
Never push hate ‘cause I'd rather do love
Think for myself, for the crowd I don't budge
I do not drink, and I never do drugs
But I got my own sins, maybe I cannot judge
‘Cause I know I do wrong, it's a painful admission
No adultery, but hurt too many women
Asking myself, what I gain from the winning
Building my wealth, do I gain from the sinning?
Do I gain from the sinning?
When I do wrong, the world keeps spinning
The girls keep grinning
The birds keeps chilling, and the Earth keeps rhythm
So if there's no God, then there is no right (Uh)
Like if there's no day, then there is no night (Uh)
And if there's no dark, then there is no light (Uh)
Whatever we say, whatever feels right
And if they say there's no free will
Does it mean there's no evil? (Hmm)
‘Cause it means we're just people
Animals with cathedrals
God has a plan
Time to let go, put it all in His hands
And I work hard but I'm only a man

[Chorus]
I feel the hope when I rise up (Uh)
And so I focus and grind up (Uh)
I hit the slope with my eyes up (Uh)
I see the rope and I climb up
Time to let go and just roll with the plan
Time to let go, put it all in His hands
And I work hard but I'm only a man (Only a man)
What I'm doing on surface (Uh)
Is it His or my purpose? (Uh)
Is it really all worth it? (Uh)
God knows I ain't perfect
Time to let go and just roll with the plan
Time to let go, put it all in His hands
And I work hard but I'm only a man

[Verse 2]
Uh, I'm only a man
Still I'll make time if it's only a fan
Gotta shake hands, and do it no grumble
People throw shade but I'm really so humble (Real talk)
And I know they can't stop me (Nah)
‘Cause I'm based and I'm cocky (Chyea)
Go for the face like I'm Rocky (Chyea)
Then I skate like it's hockey (Chyea)
I'm staying cool in the hot seat
Haters stay blind with no drive ‘cause they're floppy
People spend time taking shots, but they watch me
Cowards online, talking crap then they block me (Cowards)
I just don't understand
Time to let go put it all in His hands
Still I work hard but I'm only a man

[Chorus]
I feel the hope when I rise up
And so I focus and grind up
I hit the slope with my eyes up
I see the rope and I climb up
Time to let go and just roll with the plan
Time to let go, put it all in His hands
And I work hard but I'm only a man
What I'm doing on surface
Is it His or my purpose?
Is it really all worth it?
God knows I ain't perfect
Time to let go and just roll with the plan
Time to let go, put it all in His hands
And I work hard but I'm only a man

Chyeeea!
