[Man 1] Hello?
[Man 2] What’s up, man?
[M1] Nothing really, my girl just left, she’s geeking out, talking ‘bout big house and kids, Norman Rockwell shit again
[M2] That princess shit?
[M1] Yeah, that dumb shit, I’m trying to get up off that
[M2] I hear that, but look, yo, my place is pumping tonight
[M1] Yeah? Having a party?
[M2] No, but I’m trying out this new Peloton
[M1] Ok, well, it’s go-time! I’m there, just get that thing fired up, man

Listen to reason
Listen, buddy, buddy, buddy, listen

[Verse 1]
A young, wild, beautiful love child
You like 'em outgoing, extroverted in all hotness
Hit you when you think it’s all gonna be proper
The head'll make you take 'em shopping, a foul doctrine
Reminiscing of my first time up in a chick
I was innocent, but now I see ‘em slick, wear the slightest shit
Fresh scent, shaven ill, fresh cut hair
Hit the gym, hit the weights, heaven-sent but negligent
To see ya prophecy, your obeisance is shocking me
The way you loan make me say, “please”
Why you a prop for she?
Wishing she could be the right gal
But she got you, palming you all up in her hand
You wanna run up in clubs, getting rubbed on
Girls winking there, you pay for drinks here, get your dumb on
Following week, you back there, but what you stuck on?
Weed, clowns and bars
Pumping iron just to get big, girl knowing she’s won
Could you believe Adam, Father Earth of the seas
Women working you, you just let 'em jerk you and leave
What’s up, man? Fronting like you ain’t green
Push the pram quick, calling her, she demand it
Can't understand it, yo, it should be a throne for us
But for now, it's a whole different zone from us, word
[Chorus]
Guys are all trying, acting all nice
Get a little trace, think it’s sky high
Young man juggling, wanna get ma
Father of the Earth, he paid you and I
Just tired of playing the same ol' games
Messing with your mind, emotional thangs
And there goes a now man

[Verse 2]
Eyes blinded, she got your heart broke and felt lifeless
Grow up, lad, instead, you want the butt so now you act the nicest
To whoever getting down and trifest
To get her mind, all you do is tell her something priceless
‘cause in time, she'll realize the thighs is all he seeks
More than weed, then she hit you off with bribes and treats
There you go again, starting wars, making you more hers
Seem to get a kick out of keeping you on all fours
Face glistening, you addicted to boo
And your appetite has got her getting to you
Igloos of ice, tricking on you
You never listen to this n***a saying, “wait, kid, to get a sane chick”
Must've had a bad deal in the past though
Can't even keep your head when the chick is an asshole
Say girls are all the same, what we need to do is break this chain
You got a job full-time, and do the right thing
With dreams to settle down, it’s so far from now
You getting into love, but she is into getting bucks
Typical day that the now man sees
Coming home, wanting more than a college degree, uh
[Chorus]
Guys are all trying, acting all nice
Get a little trace, think it’s sky high
Young man juggling, wanna get ma
Father of the Earth, he paid you and I
Just tired of playing the same ol' games
Messing with your mind, emotional thangs
And there goes a now man lost

[Verse 3]
Where are you focused? On a quick fix and where the hoes is
Nice and The Life n***as, yo, you seem hopeless
Your value—too much to be measured, I know just how you
Could ever be played, your strength is worth no amount to you
More than the world, but not knowing nothing about you
You leaving the crib, taking all your kids out to
Drop 'em off, you letting wifey call the shots
So rotten soft, that's the same thing that got you lost
Growing up seeing it, it should remind you, you being lied to
Everything stupid be inside you
Sacred as you are, left to be wandering to find you
I watched you, not hard to knock you, I tried not to
They spot you out cashing dollars to whores
Damn, look, there goes a now man lost

[Outro]
You should be ashamed of yourself
The way you carry yourself
The way you make the wife hard
Doing silly things, that is wrong
Now man lost
