[Intro: Dave East]
Uh
(High Honors)
You know, being a man, you gotta learn how to provide
Be proud of the n!gga you are, you know?

[Chorus: Dave East]
I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon’ go get it
It ain’t nothing I’m fearing, I gotta provide the right life for my children
Look, I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon’ go get it
It ain’t nothing I’m fearing, I gotta provide the right life for my children

[Verse 1: Dave East]
I done got money and thought that my problems would all disappear (Thought they would vanish)
It take a n!gga his whole life to do s*it I did in a year (One year)
I do it for Daisha, I do it for Nyla, I do it for Mir (For Mir)
I do it for Kacy and Kyrie and Kobe, they know that I’m near (They know that I’m here)
The time that it took me to get where I’m at, n!ggas couldn’t compare (Never)
I think of Jabari, I think about Jay and I gotta be there (Gotta be right here)
I know the influence, I got it inspired and walked out the fire (Fire)
So much around me, not hard to think that I supply it
Whatever you want, you can buy it (Cop up)
It done got hard to deny it
Got one of them souls, they never could buy it (Not mine)
You played with your nose, I never could try it
But you can come cop it if it’s in your diet (White)
You know I smell like I came out the dryer (Fresh)
Don’t mind my name, s*it, I got some priors (Priors)
Standing on base, umpire (Umpire)
Smoke it right here if you feel that he got on a wire (Yo, light that up)

[Pre-Chorus: Bun B & Dave East]
Bring, bring them trill n!ggas to your hood and set your s*it down (Uh)

Set your— set your s*it down
Down-down-down, down (Uh)
Bring, bring them trill n!ggas to your hood and set your s*it down
Set your— set your s*it down
Down-down-down, down

[Chorus: Dave East & Big Sean]
I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon’ go get it
It ain’t nothing I’m fearing, I gotta provide the right life for my children
Look, I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon’ go get it
It ain’t nothing I’m fearing, I gotta provide the right life for my children (Boy, boy, ayy)

[Verse 2: Big Sean]
I’m going to war, it’s on, the chosen one, I’m pulling the sword out the stone
Providing the life, but I can’t always be there to see it with you, so my heart always torn
Cut from a different cloth and it’s the same one that keep the family warm
And every time I see you smile, it’s like a crack of sunshine in a crazy storm (God)
If it’s us against the world, everybody getting buried
Everywhere you step gon’ be a cemetery
And it’s angels ’round us for pulmonarys
Plus, cash rules everything around me, so they see us like we Ben & Jerry (What?)
Try and catch you sleeping, but I taught you five P’s
Poor performance gets prevented by the proper preparation
Long as I’m here, we having (Having)
We seeing dubs everywhere we go like we Raekwon, ODB, Ghostface
And you know it’s methods to the madness
Hardhead, I ain’t getting padded
From here on out, I’m going John Madden
Giving game every year, but it’s still fu*k the system, know I put it on the album
I really think I’m going ghost status, yeah
I really think I’m matching my potential
From the product of me just finally locking in and dropping old habits (Boy, woah, woah, woah)
Do this for the crib, you know where to find me (You know where to find me)
Doing this here for Noah Hasani, his sister, his m*mmy and all of his aunties
They always can count on me, I swear

[Pre-Chorus: Bun B & Big Sean]
Bring, bring them trill n!ggas to your hood and set your s*it down, yeah
Set your— set your s*it down
Down-down-down, down (Sean Don, man)
Bring, bring them trill n!ggas to your hood and set your s*it down, yeah
Set your— set your s*it down (Shoutout my dog, East)
Down-down-down, down (Yup, ayy)

[Chorus: Dave East, Dave East & Big Sean, Big Sean]
I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror
I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer, yeah
Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon’ go get it (Go get it, yeah)
It ain’t nothing I’m fearing, I gotta provide the right life for my children (God)
Look, I got a smile on my face when I look at the man in the mirror (For real)
I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon’ go get it
It ain’t nothing I’m fearing, I gotta provide the right life for my children

[Outro: Big Sean]
Ayy, man in the mirror
I used to worry, my vision was blurry, but it done got clearer
Yeah
Go get it, yeah
God
Man in the mirror, for real
(Mama, I got you forever, you know that your boy gon’ go get it)
