I go by the name of Coi Leray and uh (you know)
I told my brother, "Don't make that decision, don't you pull the trigger"
Had to watch your mama cry while you tried to play the victim
You ain't keep your mind right, all the money turned you to a villain
The truth gettin' a little clearer
I'm the new man in the mirror (this is a man's world)
I'm just a new version of you
Do you hear when I'm talking to you?
And if you knew better you'd do
See, I'm just telling my truth
Then why'd you leave me in it?
I just wanted you to spend time
Then why'd you leave me in it?
I need an answer (I need an answer)
I just wanted you to spend time
I don't really care (this is a man's world)
Now I bet you wish you paid attention
Maybe it was just a bigger blessing
Need space, need my intermission
Hate to admit it, I'm just like you
I just hope that you get the message
I know that you see my progression
There's no way you can say
I'm just a new version of you
Do you hear when I'm talking to you? (Do you hear?)
And if you knew better you'd do
See, I'm just telling my truth
Broke my heart instead (broke my heart instead)
If it's a man's world (if it's a man's, if it's a man's world)
Then why'd you leave me in it?
I need a answer (I need an answer)
I just wanted you to spend time
I don't really care (this is a man's world)
Oh, tell me how to let go
It's some things in this life left me cold (let go)
It's a woman's world, that's why I'm chose (and I know)
If it's a man's world (if it's a man)
Then why'd you leave me in it? (Tell me, why the fuck you need me? Hey)
I just wanted you to spend time
I don't really care (this is a man's world)
If it's a man's world (if it's a man's world)
Why'd you leave me in it? (Why you need me?)
I just wanted you to spend time
I don't really care (this is a man's world)
