Lyrics Be a Man - Cam Hayden

Live or die as a man
Why you talkin all that shit if you can't stand
If you ready, pick a tool up be a man
Be A Man

What it take to be a man?
Do I really need emotions?
Cause niggas call bitch if they see you left open
Or hopeless
Or hopin' that hoes stick around
I'd ask the question of my pops
But, we ain't really speakin'
He don't call on weekends or birthdays
Maybe that's the reason I been bleedin' in the first place
Middle school, I was
Pop-rockin' niggas
Get yo jaw split
Leave em pop lockin'
On the corner, while they dogs slip
Then I'd get suspended
Spendin' time wit myself
Man my conscious gave me hell
As I look
At the tip
Of this blade
It'll take the pain away
Was a year-long debate
My momma worked three jobs
Just so we could keep ourselves alive
Kept thinkin' maybe it'd be better if the payments was divided
If she ain't have to pay no more to keep her son alive

Live or die as a man
Why you talkin' all that shit if you can't stand
If you ready, pick a tool up be a man
Be A Man

What does it take to be a man?
Do I really need to trust?
Did that shit once and now I'm scared to double up
Double Dutch on any questions involving events bout us
Cause lust got ahead of you
I guess you said fuck my trust
You'll force my love inside of you
You took advantage of a virgin
Thinkin' that that shit was certain
But, niggas don't get raped
Every social say it's fake
Keep it pushin' don't be lame
Well fuck you niggas arrogant bout how you livin'
Now I'm only fuckin' for the interest of the women that I'm with
I don't get no sentiment
That's the biggest problem wit it
Especially if I'm livin' in a culture that's only lookin' for love
In hookups
Like Klu Klux
You strung up and tired

I'm kinda broken
Cut me open
And see the scars and how they frozen
Hard trust

I drink to drown the pain
It got me feelin' numb like Novacaine
Only two girls got my heart
And it's a shame it didn't go my way
Yeah it's a shame it didn't go my way

Live or die a man
Why you talkin' all that shit if you can't stand
Be A Man
How am I supposed to be a man
How do you live and die a man
Pick a tool up
Be a man
Be a man
