Man, Enough ft. Chris Preece Lyrics

Malignant code

Stunted growth

A chromosome

Is not an oath

Malignant code

Stunted growth

A chromosome

Is not an oath

Malignant code

Stunted growth

A chromosome

Is not an oath

Malignant code

Stunted growth

A chromosome

Is not an oath

Tell me all the ways

That I am not a man

Tell me all the ways

So you can help me understand

The value in denying me

My full humanity

Because if that's what makes a man

That's not what I want to be

I'm not giving in to any law

Created by a fraternal cult

I'm not listening to anyone

Who measures others by "man enough"

Malignant code

Breeding sleeper cells

Stunted growth

Taught only violence to express themselves

Is this what you wanted?

Is this what you wanted?

Is this what you wanted?

Is this what you wanted?

Bitter resentment

For what I see in you

I see inside me too

I'm not giving in to any law

Created by a fraternal cult

I'm not listening to anyone

Who measures others by "man enough"

I am the ire

Behind every virile fight

I am the shame

That keeps you up at night

I am the pride

Behind every bloody war

I am the reckoning

That's knocking

Knocking at your door

I am the loneliness

Behind every stoic face

I am the trap you set

That's keeping you in place

I am the child who's been

Neglected from the start

I am the privilege that you embrace

In exchange for your own heart

I am my brother's keeper

You are your father's son

We are forever wounded

Our suppression

Serving no one

Unlearn

Unleash me from the limits

Of the king's right hand

I'll write my own damn definition

Reject

That which serves you not

And reverse the harm

That we all have caused

Can't rebuild

Until you know

What you've lost
