[Chorus]
I got some tragic news today
Real manhood has died, they say
But you can wipe your tears away
A Revolution is formed another will be born

I'm changed escapin' my old ways
Harriet Tubman on that underground train
Too many see the grave misinterpreting brave
I could loose more chains if they knew they were slaves
I thought a man was a pimp at a young age
Now I try to honor women when the pen hits the page
Its still hip-hop minus all the thuggin
Take the poet and priest and put it in a husband
No boasting I'm far from perfect
Just give the title to those who deserve it
I know some men earned it
Some strong role models who knows God's purpose
I know one song can't change the world
But maybe dude next door'll stop beatin' his girl
And maybe we can get some brothas out trap
I wanna change the world but we can see what happens after that

Chorus x2

My cousin's like "We can make a dollar pretty quick with illegal stuff," I tell him he should work for it
He looked me up down and stuck his mouth to the side
Like "C'mon son, you know you done lost your mind."
He wants High Living but was forced in the basement
And he stated "This is what racism has created."
I told my dog "You'll never catch the car don't chase it
So many kill themselves in this world trying to make it
Your appetite will eat you when you get a chance to taste it
Their cups look full, but their lives look Wasted
A fully furnished house but your soul feels vacant
Get some new things then feel the need to replace it
Yeah, this is man's ordeal
Decorate his frame to make himself feel real
Or rob, steal, kill
Any emotion is good as long as I feel
No sir that ain't what manhood is
Life without morals is a fruitless end."
I took him under my wing now the journey begin
Hopefully another man will be born again
Chorus x2

This dude was asking me how many shawties I tap
"I know you get a lot of girls even in gospel rap."
I wasn't too shocked if my discernment was right
He type that hasn't seen a brother honor his wife
So instead of calling him stupid and causing a fight
I just explained to this brother things I value in life
He's confused cuz he said, "You don't look like the type
That really lives all the stuff that you say on the mic."
He's doubting my words like he needs some proof
Plus he struggles with the idea of absolute truth
He won't practice those things which he don't esteem
He hates absolute truth and he's the supreme being
Then he has no standards, then he has no answers
So his contribution in life is just prostate cancer
I try to answer the questions he throws my way
Hopefully another man will be born today
