to inspire lives - mario william vitale lyrics
the man i am
overcame welfare at the age of 4
the man i am
withstood all the taunts and teases
because i’m a threat
that all kids later found out
once boundaries were crossed
they knew who i really was
i created that buzz
the man i am
at the age of eight
i was so broke
i had plastic bags
to go pick up plastic cans and bottles
on every block
walk over to 207th st pathmark and recycle them
with homeless people
to earn a dollar
not even a dollar bill
it was all change
made sure i had enough change
to buy a slice of pizza so i didn’t starve from hunger
that same hunger
is what drives me to me the man i am today
the man i am
overcame tragedy
when around the same age
my aunt was brutally murder
by my father’s brother
what you call that (an uncle)
the moment he k!lled my aunt
he was already dead
the man i am
witness domestic violence
where my father hit my mother
more than once
although violence became a part of me
i’m determine to never become like him
i am better than him
the man i am
learned the harsh reality
the hard way when i was locked up
at the age of sixteen
and my so called friends disappear
like a magic trick
i sat alone in that small space
in prison, locked in a cell
and i made a decision
thinking about all the failures
all the tragedies
i knew i didn’t belong there
all i needed was a 2nd chance
2nd is what i got
i took it and never looked back
the man i am
know about failure
when my own family exile me
wash their hands clean
and turned their backs on me
walked away from me and out of my life
because i became my own man
they were afraid
in their eyes
i became a threat
i started my own journey
my life was built to live on guilt
the man i am
went through losses
rejection
dejection
cast aside
snub
p-ssed up
i kept fighting
i kept moving forward
i know what i’m worth
the moment i came out my mother’s cold womb at birth
the man i am
save lives
it’s always been said to never save someone
that don’t want to be save
although that is true
i make sure at least my angelic sounds of aspiration
will be an inspiration to someone
the man i am loves women
been with many women
nothing new
but i knew at some point
that lifestyle had to stopped
i’m glad she found me
i thank you baby
the man i am
became all puerto rican man
will always be the absolute best
stand out from the rest
times i’ll fall
but i get back up
walking tall
real men stand up
fake dudes step to the rear
don’t want to hear any excuses
not even going to lend you my ear
i will forever be the man of the year
it’s never about fitting in
it’s about standing out
the man i am
is the man i am today
who will continue to inspire lives
