[00:00.00]I'm Not the Man (我不是这个人) - Wretch 32
[00:20.71]I been a wretch from about 3 or 2
[00:23.10]Cruisin on the tele it was on channel 2
[00:25.37]My dad was in the riots so
[00:26.65]They came to seize you
[00:27.71]Growing up I was a kid that everybody knew
[00:30.64]More me it's like I'm never in the mood
[00:32.82]A true pisces my emotions in my tunes
[00:35.32]It's an understatement to say
[00:36.57]It's over with me and you
[00:37.76]I took a few shots
[00:38.80]But I'm soldiering it through
[00:40.65]And now I'm looking at my boys turned men
[00:42.93]Thinkin' lord god we coulda been like them
[00:45.74]Cuz we ain't the type to fear our opponents
[00:48.14]The road door closed
[00:48.91]When my career pass opened
[00:50.62]It's like I'm drinking
[00:51.75]More than I'm thinking
[00:53.22]Celebrating as I'm crossing off my wish list
[00:56.02]I'm sleeping with both eyes open
[00:57.42]I'm living my dream man
[00:59.31]I don't wanna miss this
[01:00.74]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[01:05.96]That's just the way we drop
[01:07.58]Them jeans where I stay
[01:10.73]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[01:15.75]Just take a second get to know me
[01:20.71]It takes a second just to look me in my eyes
[01:23.21]It takes an hour just to listen to my life
[01:25.50]It took me years just to push me to this hype
[01:27.75]But it take a lifetime to try
[01:29.17]And duplicate my vibe I'm me
[01:30.99]Smooth with my scratches and scars I'm free
[01:33.62]2 minute stamp on the charts
[01:35.33]And I'm sending a letter
[01:36.71]I hope you receive it
[01:38.25]Hand on my heart I'mma flow while it's beating
[01:40.35]To put it in words it coulda been worse
[01:42.86]From the undergrounds I coulda been dirt
[01:45.28]I took a right turn at a wrong place
[01:47.43]Cuz sometimes shortcuts are the long way
[01:49.90]Gotta have strong faith
[01:51.31]Now I'm pleading with my baby mamma
[01:53.14]She tryin' to tell me
[01:54.23]That I turned into a lady lover
[01:55.73]Huh I got my eye on the prize
[01:57.69]And I'm bringing home the bread
[01:59.04]Lets make a toast
[01:59.63]You can save the butter
[02:00.81]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[02:05.76]That's just the way we drop
[02:07.68]Them jeans where I stay
[02:10.68]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[02:15.73]Just take a second get to know me
[02:20.78]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[02:25.66]That's just the way we
[02:27.10]Drop them jeans where I stay
[02:30.74]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[02:35.74]Just take a second get to know me
[02:40.87]Last month a 14 year old in my hood
[02:43.33]Got stabbed and died
[02:45.69]I used to cruise on my bike down
[02:47.35]That same side road that he lost his life
[02:50.70]I fill a cup with tears and kick it
[02:52.68]Back like a shot just to swallow my pride
[02:55.50]Niggas would eat from your bowl
[02:56.71]And you keep down like a pin
[02:58.34]Coulda hold a strike
[02:59.53]You don't know what it's like
[03:01.35]Getting cheese amongst a rats fam
[03:03.30]From a town where robin could rob batman
[03:05.21]Taxman underneath the taxman
[03:07.23]Giving me that tax man
[03:08.78]I'd rather die from death man
[03:10.69]And everything ain't
[03:11.22]What it seems on these shelves
[03:12.93]You parting red seas and A&R in ourselves
[03:15.72]And you can still get a deal and get shelved
[03:18.25]Getting signed won't necessarily help
[03:21.57]All this fire in my tank
[03:23.55]I've come too far to get shanked
[03:26.14]I'm walking on water that others sank
[03:28.22]And I'm laughing all the way to the bank
[03:30.66]Power of the grime lord on my side
[03:32.75]Test me I can make a preacher man grimes
[03:35.67]From a council estate but yeah we made it
[03:38.37]Best things can come from the worse places
[03:40.86]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[03:45.68]That's just the way we drop
[03:47.98]Them jeans where I stay
[03:50.70]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[03:55.73]Just take a second get to know me
[04:00.70]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[04:05.68]That's just the way we drop
[04:07.48]Them jeans where I stay
[04:10.76]I'm not the man you thought I should be
[04:15.62]Just take a second get to know me
