YOU THE MAN?

You the man.

Bigger or better

Don’t matter

You the man.

Why?

Cause you know

How

To do that thang…

You know.

What they been

talkin’ bout since

they brought/bought you

Here.

You da man.

Question is…

She da/ woman?

While you

Wildin'/poppin'/hoppin’/hittin’ that

So that she screams out

Yo’ name.

Is she the one

To raise your daughter?

Or will she

Ieave it

To the mamma

Who let

“him” touch her.

Is she the one

To raise your Son?

Bet you didn’t know

That there are

Three other baby daddys

Before you

came.

And she beat ‘em all with the same belt.

So they be quiet when her stories’ on.

You da’ stud.

But what

About that life you left

in the control of someone you didn’t even know.

Just ‘cause

You think

You cain’t

Be “da man” when

You know

What the hell you’re doing.
