Be a Man

BE A MAN [Spoken Word Intro] I see it in the distance It's not a physical thing It's like this reoccuring dream See... see, I wanna get back to that, but I know my life is much more My purpose is much bigger than that I'mma have to do something bigger So that's when I realized that... I gotta be a man I gotta take control I gotta step up Cause who's gonna do it for me? [Verse 1] I still think of you When I'm home alone And it's a quarter to two I look at my phone Now I know I'm not gonna die Come on now, child You know I got too much pride You know I got too much pride [Chorus] Nobody's gonna change my mind Nobody's gonna ask the reasons why I tried to make you understand What it takes to be a man [Verse 2] All I seek is the truth All I get is sticks and stones So tell me, what do I do... With these broken bones? Cause I've been walking for miles Come on now, child You know I've heard too many lies Ain't trying to waste no more precious time [Chorus] Nobody's gonna understand Nobody's gonna hold my hand Oh lord knows I tried to understand What it takes to be man [Bridge] Be a man Be a man Be a man Be a man [Chorus] Nobody's gonna understand Nobody's gonna hold my hand Oh I tried to understand What it takes to be man [Epilogue] And nobody's gonna waste my time Don't you ever ask me why
