|
| And you know it happens all the time
|

|
| Why oh why is it hard for dudes to always be around
|

|
| When you don’t come around
|
| Its gonna be hard for a boy to be a man
|
| when getting fed from a woman’s hand
|
| Now tell me what turns a boy into a thug
|
| Just as soon as he leave the house
|
| See he don’t have a man to give him little rules
|
| So he don’t running in and out
