5'11 Lyrics

A little while ago

A woman told me she could never date me because I was 5'11

Just a preference she said

"I can't even fuck with him unless he 6'1 6'2"

It didn't hurt my feelings as much as it made me shake my head

Ok it did kind of hurt my feelings

Cause I can't control my height

And I wondered

How her response would've been if counted her out for the things she couldn't control

If I fabricated some kind of relevance

to her body not meeting my preference

How that would've played out?

The most mischievous thing about being a man

Is thinking people will ever care about how you feel

My mother always told me that everything that glitters ain't gold

But I always felt like everything that's gold don't glitter

Have you ever heard of the rose that grew from concrete?

The diamond in the rough?

It's tough

Being a man in a world that wants you to be the jewel and the jeweler

The servant and the ruler

The keyboard and the computer

You want my mind to be hardware

But my heart to be Microsoft

You want me to be 6'3

With abs like Im 16

Handy man fix things

Wardrobe pristine

Breath smells mint green

Self control self esteem

All while knowing how to cook cuisine

Dick as long as a limousine

And no addiction to nicotine or promethazine

And the capacity to have a picnic with the toddlers and teens

Also while riding around the city with a Glock in my jeans

How the hell am I supposed to do that

If Forbes started a list for self worth

all the men would be at the bottom

We are only as good as what we have currently accomplished

What we have produced

How we can be used

Only as attractive as our wallets

Only as respectable

As we are intellectual

I'm starting to think the pedestal that comes with having a pair of balls

Really just means a longer fall

But the best thing about being a man

Is being told to have no emotion

It helps when she tells you you're not tall enough

When you're not tall enough to reach the ego of woman

Who still wants you to pull out her seat

And hold her hand when you walk her across the street

How many doors will I open for someone else before I start opening doors for myself ?

I'm so tired of spending my money my time and my resources

When 70 percent of the time this shit ends in divorces

Im starting to think chivalry should be self induced

Here's the proof

You a black man

Ain't no body tryna take care of you
