Lyrics

Chorus

I wanna be the new man of the year (year)

No cap 'til it's hands everywhere

Pops telling me that I'll never make it

Now I got proof that I'm takin' it there (there)

On bro, know I cannot be scared

I gotta do it like Nike Air

They gon' see a new man in the mirror

Like GQ, GQ Man of the Year (yeah)

Chorus

I wanna be the new man of the year (year)

No cap 'til it's hands everywhere

Pops telling me that I'll never make it

Now I got proof that I'm takin' it there (there)

On bro, know I cannot be scared

I gotta do it like Nike Air

They gon' see a new man in the mirror

Like GQ, GQ Man of the Year (year)

Verse

Word to my bros, I gotta prove I ain't down for the count

And my head got a pound full of doubt

Pops threatening to kick me to the towns (towns)

Lit a fire, they thinkin' was doused

Anxiety stricken, I mentally drowned

Ironic when shit finally flipped around

Went from black sheep to the man of the house (house)

Verse

Been a man on a mission

Paranoid, thinkin' 'bout what's they intention

My hands get sweaty, inhibition

Trust nobody, know I've been a cynic

Been ho'd way too many times

Maybe that's why I got a slanted vision

Fool me once, won't fool me again

'Cause I might sin, can't 'ford to be slippin'

Still makin' 'em bounce (bounce), to the boom of the 808s

As I'm lookin' around, still feel like them same ol' days (days)

And this shit feel wild (wild), but look how far I've done came (came)

Take a sip of an ounce, then we gon' dance 'til the pain go away

Chorus

I wanna be the next man of the year

Told brodie, "I cannot be scared"

I'm finna put my whole life in this pen

Pray God that I'll win, work hard 'til we there

Even when moms and pops stay buggin'

I keep on the buzzing, no hands on the wheel

No time for depression, know I can't afford it

With nothing to lose, how can I feel fear?

Verse

I wanna be the man of the house

Until no checks get bounced

Until we up at the penthouse, floor to the ceilin' view of the town

Until my kids can live with a life stress-free of a roach and mouse

Until my bros got cribs down billionaire row, I ain't givin' an ounce

Bro tryna say I made it, but, I am nowhere near famous

In the lab on the daily, been trainin'

'Til they can't say, "It's 'cause he's Asian"

All my life, was a good kid, playin' with sharks in the hood

Lucky that I evade it

Never did I front with the fake shit

Always stayed real to the ones who was stayin'

Chorus

I wanna be the new man of the year (year)

No cap 'til it's hands everywhere

Pops telling me that I'll never make it

Now I got proof that I'm taking it there (there)

On bro, know I cannot be scared

I gotta do it like Nike Air

They gon' see a new man in the mirror like GQ, GQ, Man of the Year (year)

Chorus

I wanna be the new Man of the Year (year)

No cap 'til it's hands everywhere

Pops telling me that I'll never make it

Now I got proof that I'm takin
