So you think you're growing straight up and tall
You wouldn't know a man if you shook his hand
You couldn't pick a lock if you had the key
You wouldn't have a friend if it wasn't me
Be a man
Nobody can help you
Be a man
You've got to do it yourself
Be a man
Why do I always have to tell you
Be a man
You've got to do it yourself
So you think you've learned it all in a school
You couldn't teach a cla** if you had the book
You couldn't talk religion without the Lord
You're trying to buy something you can't afford
Be a man
Nobody can help you
Be a man
You've got to do it yourself
Be a man
Why do I always have to tell you
Be a man
You've got to do it yourself
So you think you're growing straight up and tall
You couldn't pick a lock if you had the key
You'll never get to heaven without the Lord
You're trying to buy something you can't afford
Be a man
Nobody can help you
Be a man
You've got to do it yourself
Be a man
Why do I always have to tell you
Be a man
You've got to do it yourself
Be a man
