Nah It Ain't The Same

(album: MAN MADE - 2021)

Nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same, nah, it ain't the same being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same

Waking up to this disarray
This uncertainness only seems to serve the misery
Maya place on me
Mother take from me
All of this false shit
I do not need it
I believe in magic
Because I've seen it
Nothing you the ego
You know already how it goes
I've got a strong mind, a strong girl
From my head to my toe
Back to my ego

These Earthly habits, they've got to get going
I've let go of desires, but have I truly
Let go of the fires that burn them and fuel them
It's so hard to be human
With a battling mind
I have lost all devotion over time
I'm on the path of remembrance
And I'm remembering fine
Having nothing that's mine
Only borrowing time
My kind
Chatting to God, unworthy of His time
With all these doubts in my mind I'm trying to cast aside
Left to struggle in my rhymes

Nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same, nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same (Nah, it ain't the same)
Being a man today (Being a man today)

Inner battles dwell like city kids beneath the poverty line
I'm feeding my senses
Food for thought is money well spented
'Cause most of our so-called knowledge is rented
Invented, dependses on flippant friendses
Social scenarios, hollow like Cheerios
You hear me though
Never thought I'd be coming out your stereo
But there we go, maktub ya'll
It's written, you know

Nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same, nah, it ain't the same being a man today
Nah, it ain't the same (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Being a man today (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

No, it ain't the same
Being a man today
No, it ain't the same
No, it ain't the same
No, it ain't the same
I say, man, I mean human, and woman, and you man, and you man
And me man, said, we man, yeah, we man, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Being a man today
Being a man today
Being a man today
(Yeah, man, yeah, man)
Being a man today
Being a man today
Being a man today
Being a man today
It ain't the same, nah, it ain't the same, yeah
No, it ain't the same
Being a man today
No, it ain't the same
(Man made, man made)
Nah, it ain't the same
Being a man today
Inner battles dwell like city kids beneath the poverty line
I'm feeding my senses
