Be a man John be a man
Used to get them Marlboros for dad
It made me feel grown
Didn't know the problems he had
But he was real gone
When he had the bottle in hand
He was just dead wrong
Promised that I would never grow up and be him
But I never grew up at all
And now I'm womanizing and cheatin, drinkin heavily in the pm
Havin myself a monsters ball, just like my pa
My girl lookin the same way my mom did
Smeared make up tears under her eyeleids
Generations of havin a down a** chick
But we always end up f**in up that sh**
Pointin fingers at all of my male figures
The only thing gettin bigger is makin bout six figures
And everybody just shut up, when I put it on my tab
Ain't it sad when a visa's the only credit you have, huh
But that's just John and that's how he is
That's the only way people come into my defense
But that's just wrong but that's how it is
And it be helpin me get away with alot of sh**
Alotta sh**, alotta sh**, I wish somebody really gave me a whole of sh**
But they on the dick, yea they on my dick, now my ego is getting bigger than moby dick
They see the videos, they see the hero
They take a mess and paint a mural
Edit out the a- hole put in the b-roll
Render the clips, and you got pure gold
Shoutout to B tho, that's mi amigo, kept me in check when I was actin like a devo
When I was steve o, he made me steve jobs, im a ceo, now look at me ma
Now look at me ma, I'm on my grown sh**, when I mean grown I mean takin care of my own sh**, now look at me pa, this is some grown sh**, now what you taught me forget it I flipped the whole script, now look at me girl I'm on grown sh**, what im sayin I mean it my word is golden, everything I'm sayin you're probably thinkin no sh**, I shoulda known this already, but I'm ready now
