Good Man
Say less. Here’s a **more street**, **raw storytelling**, **boom-bap style** joint — gritty, cinematic, no sugarcoating. --- **Title: “Corner Prayers”** **Verse 1** Cracked sidewalks, ramen nights, lights get cut, Mama crying at the table, saying “Baby, we stuck.” I was a good kid, clean heart, no crime dreams, But hunger don’t listen to morals or pipe dreams. Landlord knocking like the law at the door, Kids in the back room sleeping on the floor. I tied my boots tight, stepped into the rain, Did dirt with a purpose, not chasing no fame. **Hook** I’m a good man, forced into bad plans, Corner prayers whispered in my clasped hands. If the streets took a piece, they ain’t take my soul, Every move was survival, never losing control. Good man, bad nights, cold hands, Feeding my family with blood on my plans. You see the scars, not the love I defend— I ain’t proud of the road, but I walked it to the end. **Verse 2** First time I crossed lines, stomach in knots, Heart beating loud in them empty parking lots. I ain’t smile for the grind, I ain’t brag on the pain, I just learned how to move when you stuck in the rain. Eyes on the mirrors, trust thin as thread, Every dollar I touched had a price on my head. I kept it low, never loud, never flashy, Just a man with a mission moving cold and ashy. **Hook** I’m a good man, forced into bad plans, Corner prayers whispered in my clasped hands. If the streets took a piece, they ain’t take my soul, Every move was survival, never losing control. Good man, bad nights, cold hands, Feeding my family with blood on my plans. You see the scars, not the love I defend— I ain’t proud of the road, but I walked it to the end. **Verse 3** Cops ride slow, headlights sweep my sins, I kiss my kids’ foreheads, hope I see ’em again. Told myself “One more run, then I’m done,” But the streets don’t release you when the money come. I stayed solid though, never crossed my code, Never sold poison where my babies roam. Took hits so my people wouldn’t feel the blow, That’s a father’s curse that the streets don’t know. **Bridge** Every night I prayed God forgive my hands, Know my heart pure even if you hate my plans. If I fall tomorrow, let my kids understand— I wasn’t chasing evil, I was trying to be a man. **Outro** So don’t label me villain ’cause I lived in the gray, Some of us carry the dark just to light the way. Good man, street scars, still I stand— I survived hell just to feed my fam. --- **Beat suggestion:** * * Think **Griselda / Nas / early J. Cole / Mobb Deep vibes** If you want, I can: * Add a **second story verse** (courtroom, prison scare, or exit from the streets) * Make the hook **more grimy or more emotional** * Write it **from first-person real-life POV** even darker Just say the word 🔥
