Man (Just Do It)

Verse 1
You're taller, you're stronger, you're faster
It's incumbent on you to be wiser
The ways of the world rest on your shoulders
However heavy it may seem at times
Responsibility is expected of you
It's always in your face
You can't ignore it
Like a stampede of elephants in the center of town

Verse 2
You're always surrounded by supporters and villains
You'll be congratulated while others will throw shade
The power you generate and the power you exert
Will guarantee respect and the bending to your will
You can't be reckless in your position
If that occurs, your weaknesses will be exploited
Your odyssey will be in jeopardy

Verse 3
You're led to believe that boys don't cry
And when you come of age
You realize that fairy tales are glorified lies
Suppressing what you experience is not conducive
To a healthy state of mind
If balance is to be achieved
Senses must function properly
You don't have the luxury of dreaming
To being a robot
Everything will come down to the wire
And you'll be one decision away from demise

Bridge
There's no such thing as luck
What you get is what you receive
Be the author of a narrative
To which you subscribe to
When you're in control, you're always in demand

Chorus
You're a man, just do it
Don't waste your time with gossip or flakes
Walk like you've got a big d-ick
Look to the sky and reach for it
Be prepared to fight
To protect what you create, what you own
All eyes are on you
And every moment is yours to lose
