"A MAN OR A THUG"



You call yourself a brotha;

A thug and when supposed to be a man.

But there are some things to life

That you must understand.



You say sweet things

Known to you as just game.

But your words are empty,

Since "all women are the same to you."



You got her pregnant

But it's no big deal to you.

Be father, pay child support,

Your responsibilities, That you fail to do,

But makes the rest of us look bad.



She needed you most

But you walked out the door.

What a man you are??

You know...there's more to life

Than how much you score.



But you know what?

We all know you don't care.

You're too busy smokin' blunts

And dealin on the street

been there done that.



But did you know your kid

Doesn't know who you are?

You think the street will teach him to be a man

Thats your job not hers but she strong

and will do it for you.

That to you is just some cheap metaphor.



And you call yourself a brotha;

A thug and when supposed to be a man.

But there are some things to life

That you still must understand.



Life theres only one and you must be

Responsible for all your actions,

or one day will catch up to you

and that day you will learn

That you cant run for ever.
