BE A MAN Lyrics

Oh, again, I try to do better and be better but I can't win

Followed by sin, once again, has me poisoned

A man who has offered me, really too blind to see

That my love, I could've charged others, I've given to you for free

I'm free

Clouded by his mind, being trapped by losses of time

Always on past grimes, the decades that flew by

Silently I cry, as inside I die

Can't see things so full of lies when he's the one who's stagnant

Steady, trying to get ahead, then life knocks me dead

I need to get out of his head, escape the madness of his world

He's always living in the past, my future slipping from his grasp

As he slips on his past

Ooh

We were meant for a higher purpose

But fighting one another does lose the purpose

He can't keep thinking I'm not worth it

Won't be here to face another battle

Won't let another man live in my exceptional shadow

I'd rather be taken to the gallows

Ooh, you can't believe, set me free

Stop these games of torture in me

Leave me to have some peace

Only God's allowed to judge me

Everyone has a past, though you might not see the scars

I see your blemishes, you're not as perfect as you think you are

At the end of the day, step up or step down

I'm pulling all the weight in me, there is no doubt

Ooh, again

I try to do better and be better

But I can't win, I'm a rising

Once again has me poisoned

A man who lives off of me, really too blind to see

Really too blind to do better and be better

But I can't win, followed by sin

Once again has me poisoned

A man who lives off of me, really too blind to see

That my love I could have charged

Others I've given to you for free

Caught in by his mind and trapped by losses of time

Always on past crimes, decades that flew by

Silently I cry, as inside I die

Casey thinks I'm full of lies when he's the one who's stagnant

Steady trying to get ahead, but life wants me dead

I need to get out of his head, escape the madness of his world

He's always living in the past, I feel just slipping from his grasp

As he sips on his past

We were meant for a higher purpose

But fighting one another deserts the purpose

He can't keep thinking I'm not worth it

Won't be here to face another battle

Won't let another man live in my deceptional shadow

I'd rather be taken to the gallows

If you can't believe, set me free

Stop these games of torture in me

Leave me to have some peace

Only God's allowed to judge me

Everyone has a past, though you might not see

As far as I see your blemishes

You're not as perfect as you think you are

At the end of the day, step up or step out

I'm pulling all the weight in me, there is no doubt

Oh, again

I try to do better and be better, but I can't win

I'm a bison once again, has me poisoned

I'm in, I'm soft, you're really too blind to see

Too free

Oh
