Straight to be a man Lyrics

I'm a man, I'm a man

I'm black, I'm your slave

I'm poor yet tough, I'm not ok

I'm a young girl trying to fit in

And I said, I'm a young girl trying to fit in

In a system where I don't belong, you win

I was born the black sheep of the fam, and I'm torn

You're mad at me, yeah you don't teach me well

Haven't been raised like a child, you know

But straight to be man

You're mad at me, do not touch me off

Haven't been raised like a child, you know

But straight to be a pawn

And this world is a chessboard, baby

Yeah, I'm gay, need to be the first at the race

Cause I'm ok just when I follow suit

I'm a bad guy, I'm a bad guy

Ok, I'll be honest

I'm a bad guy cause I killed a man

Now you see my needs, you see that I exist

I'm the outcome of you plan

I'm the output for your target

You're mad at me, yeah you don't teach me well

Haven't been raised like a child, you know

But straight to be man

You're mad at me, do not touch me off

Haven't been raised like a child, you know

But straight to be a pawn

You're mad at me

We have been playing a game since 1713

And it's a shame that people think

This is the best we can live

But I'm aware that life is not made for these things

You're aware, you're aware that we change king

I'm aware that we change his slavery too

I'm a black

I'm a black man, I wanna be loved

I'm a poor

I am a poor man, don't know what to do

I'm an old

I'm an old man, I'm lucky to go

I'm a queer

I'm a queer man, as long as I shut up

As long as I don't freak out

As long as I don't show up

I'm a man, I'm a man

I don't need you're approval

I can stand for myself

I'm a man, I'm a man

I can stand for myself

And I won't give up

And I won't shut up

And I will freak out

And I won't fuck it up

I'm a man, I'm a man, I can stand for myself

You're mad at me, yeah you don't teach me well

Haven't been raised like a child, you know

But straight to be man

You're mad at me, do not touch me off

Haven't been raised like a child, you know

But straight to be a pawn

You're a man, you're a man

You know what to do
