It's time for a change
this generation
this generation needs a hero...
What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover?
(and calls it tough love, tough love?)
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter?
(and calls it tough love, tough love?)
Your roots grow in the cracks of the alleys, college park made you
Man enough to see, man enough to see
There ain't a goddamn man in me
Take me back to a date, before I was hostile and learned to hate
You promised you would never become
You promised you would never become
A storm a blackout replicating the one
The thunder inside him became your life
You called him your best friend 'til the day you were nine
What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover?
(and calls it tough love, tough love?)
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter?
(and calls it tough love, tough love?)
Hotel rooms, bourbon, and broads
a drifter living life
without God
You've done it now, you planted a seed, now the storm inside you
It swallows her
Baby love
Alright
And I know life can be so strange but I know I can make a change I'mma wipe away the clouds for ya
Mmmm
I'm gonna be around for ya
I'm gonna paint the town for ya
I'm gonna make a promise to give you everything you want and need
But she fucked up now
'Cause she's bearing another mouth you can't feed
Cease production of a destructive breed
Seek help cause your pride only makes you weak
and what is a man, who lays a hand on his lover?
(and calls it tough love, tough love?)
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter?
(and calls it tough love, tough love?)
Your roots grow
In the cracks of the alleys
College park made you
Man enough to see, man enough to see
There ain't a goddamn man in me
