What Does It Take (To Be a Man)

On a day-to-day there's no way most men make it through

I got to tell you now

Family tied to me, I'm doing just what I got to do

I got to tell you now

All a man's got is his word and to keep himself free

Do with your life what you will, stay away from my family

Born blue collar been working since I was thirteen

My father was up at five and broke his back to keep us clean

My mother sweated and slaved and suffered for the family

So when you push me don't think that I won't shove

I got to tell you now

What does it take to be a man, what does it take!?!

On a day-to-day there's no way most men make it through

I got to tell you now

Family tied to me, I'm doing just what I got to do

I got to tell you now

When I was a young man I was told to take a stand

And damn it boy, you better stick to a plan

So on a day-to-day you better walk a man's path

Learn how to walk a man's mile, get that game face smile

Don't put up with people who get in your way

And when you push don't think that I won't shove

I got to tell you now

What does it take to be a man, what does it take!?!

Work!!!

What does it take to be a man, what does it take!?!
