Jameel Mason - Intro (Everything That I Need) lyrics

Verse 1: The world is cold and I travel a lonely road/ And my heart is heavy, I need somewhere to unload/ I'm reaching out to God ask him help me out with the lows/ He said you got the book, now just read it and crack the code/ Oh! I go to church I swear it hurts to hear the preacher speak/ Now all the people in this service, why I feel he talk to me/ My poppa died before I came a man/ And at times I feel like he's the only one who ever understands/ Damn! I'm asking Lord do you hear me/ Please Lord, holla if you hear me/ This sh** depressing, need to balance out my mental state/ I drink a fifth of Hennessy only to ease to pain/ What will I gain from giving up, I came along way/ If I don't make it, then life lessons it taught me/ To make it to the top, you gotta plan accordingly/ D4G just becoming the man I'm born to be/ Hook: No it's not what I wanted but everything that I need/ X3 And I just wanna be, the man I was born to be/ X1 No it's not what I wanted but everything that I need/ X3 And I just wanna be, the man I was born to be/ X1 Verse 2: My family always tell me right, I know that they supposed ta/ Seem like every time we fight it only brings us closer/ And we only get one life, I gotta make the most of/ I would tell you bring a knife but n***as now will smoke ya/ I just really want my Momma to be proud of me/ Cause from start she never ever doubted me/ Now there's a blessing in every lesson so pay attention/ Can't comprehend it yet appreciate in retrospect/ Now women call me all the time but I'm still feeling lonely/ I told Mellz that he my n***a, hold me down homie/ Now there's so much that I could lose but got the world to gain/ But I'll never sell my soul, some n***as fall in vain/ I can't complain my back was against the wall/ But now a n***a back and I'm back to taking it all/ Ya'll n***as got it backwards like walking before you crawl/ Everything I needed was given lets go to war/ Hook: No it's not what I wanted but everything that I need/ X3 And I just wanna be, the man I was born to be/ X1 No it's not what I wanted but everything that I need/ X3 And I just wanna be, the man I was born to be/ X1
