Be a Man Lyrics

[Verse 2]
Y'all are so upset, mixing up your gender with your sex
'Cause you have a beard and like to wear a dress, man
Y'all are so progressive, identify as Jesus resurrected
When we ask you for some proof you get defensive, man

They say that it's okay to cry, they're teaching boys to get bullied
And we don't teach them to fight, so now they're avoiding it fully
You're breeding men who get married, who can't protect or provide
When someone breaks into their crib, they hide behind their wives, man
Wax off all that hair on your chest
Tuck your dick between your legs and picture you with some breasts
You grew a beard and bought some flannel, but you can't build a fence
Y'all the perfect examples of some millennial men

Got no competitive spirit, can't deal with hard work, you fear it
Afraid of manual labour, I swear I can't take y'all serious
Rather pay for a service instead of gaining the experience
Y'all gon' bleed to death if y'all don't put a plug in that period, uh

[Chorus]
You said, "Be a man", and now it's like that I am
I'm everything you can't stand
'Cause I'm the man, and I can see that you're mad
'Cause you wanna be the man so bad 'cause, bitch, I'm the man
Y'all are just embarrassed, if you tried to compare us
You would see that you ain't a man no more 'cause, bitch, I'm the man
Y'all were too encouraged, now you don't have the courage
To just show up and be a man no more 'cause, bitch, I'm the man
[Bridge]
Y'all can be whoever you want
I was born to be the man that you aren't
And I ain't tripping if your energy's wrong
Y'all just angry that the enemy's strong
So be a man or y'all can be whoever you want
I was born to be the man that you aren't
Man, I ain't tripping if your energy's wrong
Y'all just angry that the enemy's strong

[Chorus]
You said, "Be a man", and now it's like that I am
I'm everything you can't stand
'Cause I'm the man, and I can see that you're mad
'Cause you wanna be the man so bad 'cause, bitch, I'm the man
Y'all are just embarrassed, if you tried to compare us
You would see that you ain't a man no more 'cause, bitch, I'm the man
Y'all were too encouraged, now you don't have the courage
To just show up and be a man no more 'cause, bitch, I'm the man
