Be A Man

I'm so scared of betrayal that's why i won't let u close to me
I left them in the past where they supposed to be
Always gave you my last you ain't never did the same for me
Ran it up fast momma look how they chasing me

Remember the microwave was broke we was eating pork and beans out the can
I didn't wanna step up to the plate mama always told me to be a man
My brother got locked up two times i know he ain't planning on going back
The way he was living so fast i know why he always kept a strap
He ain't want me to do bad but there was a problem stopping that
See i was seventeen with my own mind you know it's hard to change a man
We came up out the mud three kids two different dads
I'll be lying if i said they offered help my momma raised three bad kids by herself
My momma tried to hide the truth i know she was stressing
And when my grandma died i wish i could of died too i'm barely living right without you

I'm so scared of betrayal that's why i won't let u close to me
I left them in the past where they supposed to be
Always gave you my last you ain't never did the same for me
Ran it up fast momma look how they chasing me

I ain't never had no handouts i was always giving my handout
My uncle got jammed at young age barely knew him
Sixteen years in that cage look what that did to him
I guess time can make you better but growing up with no support that type of shit can be Expected
They taking all my soldiers mike ima see u in heaven
Didn't really get to know ya
But that's how life go
Me and my siblings we was different we wasn't that close
But when u mess with one you get the whole smoke
When they called me and said you had that heart surgery
Twin that shit hurt me
Wish i can hop on the plane and come see you
Twin they did me dirty
They did yo brother dirty

I'm so scared of betrayal that's why i won't let u close to me
I left them in the past where they supposed to be
Always gave you my last you ain't never did the same for me
Ran it up fast momma look how they chasing me
I'm so scared of betrayal that's why i won't let u close to me
I left them in the past where they supposed to be
Always gave you my last you ain't never did the same for me
Ran it up fast momma look how they chasing me
