[ Featuring Tydal Kamau ]
Ooh Lawd Yea Yea
A di same little black boy enuh
Everyday we getting older things won't be the same
Tomorrow I'll be wiser from experience
I know I'm far much different now cause features change
But remember that the soul can never change
Accept me as I am
It's I become a man
Why can't you understand it
It's I become a man
A me same one
I love the way I am
It's I become a man, yeaa
Why can't you understand it now
I love the way I am, yeaa
Dem no good fi mi health
Dem no know seh mi know
True to myself, I'm no selling out
Well confident and me nah no doubt
A di same ting Marcus teach me about
Run from mi self, dem want mi fi hide
Bleach out mi face and dash weh mi pride
Youths seek knowledge and strengthen di mind
Dem fool the ancestors not this time
Dem claim nutten good look like me
Dem just scared of di rebel dem see
Can't hold me down mentally man free
Hey they don't know my story
Lawd, they don't know my story
Accept me as I am
It's I become a man
Why can't you understand it now
It's I become a man
A me same one
I love the way I am
It's I become a man, yeaa
Why can't you understand it
I love the way I am, yeaa
Welcome to the winning side
I know I'm a king inside
They wanna know how I feel inside
I'm outside but I'm still inside
I'm everywhere, building a vibe
The hill vibes a di realest vibes
You wanna know come feel dis vibe
I'm inspired can't kill this vibe
I'll do everything I can
As I become a man
It's a precious life
Readers are leaders wake up and exercise
I n I a focus pon di crucial times of our life
The disciplines of life, yea
Can't be nobody else woi
Gonna be myself
Can't be what you want me to be cause dat no good fi my health
Nuff youth never accept blackness
All when dem black like tar
Why not when you teach them slackness
Chastise for who they are
Why not you show them love
Instead you take advantage
I've got the feeling growing up and feeling so unwanted
But now the youths a read
What will the future bring
I hope and pray they're will be changes inna everything
Ask Jah to shine the light
Cause You and I are same
I hope your mentality change
Accept me as I am
As I become a man
Why can't you understand it now
It's I become a man
A me same one
I love the way I am
It's I become a man, yeaa
Why can't you understand
I love the way I am a rebel steppa
