The Man That Got Away

Verse 1
You call yourself a man but you're logically challenged
You get emotional by flying off the handle
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
This is who you are organically
You can't change but you can modify
You call yourself a man but you cause ears to burn
Verbal interactions mostly add fuel to the fire
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
You're naturally inclined to act this way
Your DNA has changed

Verse 2
You call yourself a man but you're fantastically out of mind
Understadedness is something you're unfamiliar with
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
This is how you behave but you don't have to act this way
You call yourself a man but you're internally oblivious
Society knows more about you than you know of yourself
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
This is why you'll be conditioned without formidable opposition

Verse 3
I am a man because I have fortitude
Fearlessness is what I've incorporated
Words are measured and actions are deliberate
This is how I've been since becoming reborn

Bridge
Learning is nothing more than a change in behaviour
Being in accordance with high standards builds character
A dignified way of life is the best defence against strife
The pursuit of excellence will propel you to greater heights

Chorus 1
I once was tread upon
I was taken advantage of
I restored myself by reclaiming my power

Chorus 2
I once was abused
I was mistreated and disrespected
I transformed myself by being the man that got away
