The Man

Can a man respond to the problems that await
Can he stand up to oppression confliction and hate
The final exam before he steps to the throne
On the fast track to the greatest they've ever known
Whether politically ethically or domestically speaking
It's that praise that respect that they're seeking
If it was just about love than we'd stop right there
Neatly in place like a boy's combed hair
But money power respect are a reminder to all
That it's about being the man and not dropping the ball
There's nothing worse than a man who can't keep his word
Still learning every day to try to step out from the herd
Emotionally fleeting mentally growing into his own
Trying to avoid the owe back no need for a loan
And it is that all of this that makes for the rhyme
Being that type of man is what's on my mind
