What Makes You A Man?/
Is it having a family owning your own land?/
What Makes You A Man?/
doing all you can working with ya hands/
What Makes You A Man?/
is it pride and respect? a life with a tech?/
What Makes You A Man?/
cashing checks or saling drugs looking just like a nervous wreck?/
- Verse 1 -
I'm seeing things so different, young men wasting lives while they gifted/
put ya head in the books before ya life get took, living like a crook/
will only make things worse carried by six of ya own placed in a hurse/
mamma crying confused cause she dont even know what happened/
her son pulled a liq but the fool was strapped and started capping/
had to be the man of the house survived by two kids and a new spouse/
its the same old story with a new person telling it/
dropping knowledge and I aint even saling it to hell with it/
just speaking my mind hoping you listen to this rhyme at least one time/
hate to ever see it happen again too many family and friends/
dead left as wounds to never mend, with pain so deep you cant weep/
even if you try rather cover up emotions by getting high/
cant show a weakness gotta be a man and set an example/
make everybody proud like you vowed when you prayed out loud/

- Verse 2 -
been a lot change since I had my first child/
a happy accident gave a sad face a smile/
remember the day so vividly when she was born something to adorn/
beautiful eyes little hands dark hair just like her dad/
holding six pounds seven ounces of good health/
then I realized that aint living for myself/
need to get some wealth, so I started working two jobs/
it was hard sometimes i cant lie head throbing a lot on my mind/
if it wasent for her I would of tried suicide/
she made me a man, gave my life a purpose when I felt so worthless/
and i'll never make that up to you, feed you soup when you got the flu/
hold you real tight whenever your feeling blue/
promise to do my best but please dont misconstrue/
some of the things I do when i'm in a bad mood/
cause i'm just learning as go as I grow into a father/
a boy transformed into a man by the grace of a daughter/
