Lyrics

Intro
Uh...you see
For better or for worse, all I can be is me, obviously
(Tuh tuh tuh tuh TUH) cuz I'm a man of virtue and vice too, yeah yeah
(Tuh tuh tuh tuh TUH) that put it all on the line as a person just like you, uh
Listen

1st Verse
"What's good?"
If I set a worthy goal I achieve it and then some
Always a plus if it's leading to some income
Can't do nothing half a....d cuz then I can't get my s... off (hahaha)
See what I mean? My own jokes got me lit off
"What's bad?"
I'm a sore a.. loser and winner
Rubbing victories and losses in long as I can remember
Started when I was younger playing games throwing controllers (tshhh)
And still I find it hard to let go growing older
"What's good?"
I like giving people what they need and want
I'm hard but got a big soft heart, no need to front (true)
Whether the homeless need food or someone just needs advice
If I can help it, I'm a hustler who can be nice
"What's bad?"
I forget I can't please em all
Finding it hard to say no when there's a reason to withdraw
Feeling guilty for another n..... flaws I didn't cause
Then getting resentful cuz I just got ripped off (mannn)
I'm a work in progress y'all

Chorus (2x)
Virtues and vices, we all do em
I got mine, you got yours, hey we all human
Long as we ain't hurting no one else for no reason
Can't stop us from living life as we all see it

2nd Verse
What's good?
I strive to never leech off another's accomplishments
I'm a man so I love to honor this
If I'm down on my luck I'd rather you teach me to fish it
Cuz earning my keep really makes that feast hit different (real talk)
"What's bad?"
It's hard to ask for help to save my life
Making the s... more difficult when there was a simpler way to make it right (mmm)
Cuz I thought I'd be a burden on your time
But come to find out, both of our issues worsened over time
"What's good?"
Oh how I love the opposite sex
Cuz platonically, my sister and mom, they be the best (thank you)
Helped raise a real grounded, well-rounded baby boy
So if I ever do marry, I can give that lady joy
"What's bad?"
I lust for plenty b...... with the same fervor
Cute face? Slim waist? Phat a..? Straight m....r (yum)
I'm a bachelor til further notice baby boo
But in the meantime, I'll gladly have my cake and eat it too (if you let me)

Chorus (2x)

Outro
Uh...that's my good bad and ugly, perks flaws and all, you know
From yours truly ADOM, take it or leave it, just believe it...
