Real Men

My recording of this on YouTube

I hear all these people saying man up, man up, man up; but what does that really mean?

Is it really as simple as what we see onscreen?

Is it really solving problems with just bare fists,

Finding girls to manipulate and add to some list?

Never showing emotion, never dropping a tear

Never being scarred, because a man has nothing to fear?

Conquering all with that S on your chest

Gotta go out and prove you're better than the rest

Stacking up the money, collecting all those cars

Showing off to neighbors just to raise up all the bars

So now theyre so frantically trying to keep up with the Jones

Trying to take down your kingdom like Attack of the clones

All just trying to be that king of the mountain

Because a true man will always win

Business by day, party by night

Mullet of life describes it so right

CEO, stacking up the money

Then it's time to play boy, pick another bunny

Flipping through the magazine to find the perfect female

Because you know what her under your arm will tell

Just doing what you see on the tv

Use her all up, then leave her like debris

Find another woman, treat her all the same

Don't even bother to even learn her name

Yeah, because that's what men do

Yeah, you really think that's true?

A real man gets to the know the heart, before he ever meets the body

Because she's another soul, not just another hottie

Just because you leave the next day, doesn't mean your soul ever left her

Because it was also your soul that entered

And it was also her soul that you fooled with

And that can never be undid

So a true man doesn't care about some list

Because its all about quality, not the quantity you've kissed

And a man, doesn't care about some car

Doesn't try to live his life like some big star

Just need a roof not some crazy mansion

They don't need any extra attention

A real man is humble with his accomplishments

Doesn't throw them out, fishing for some compliments

A real man will help someone in need

Even behind closed doors, he doesn't need anyone to see

A real man can forgive, as God has forgiven us

And if he's ever wronged you, a real man will confess

A real man doesn't need to drink away his sorrows

Because even though today is tough, he knows theres no guaranteed tomorrow

A real man doesn't hide behind his humor

Doesn't allow those lustful images to attach to him like a tumor

A real man doesn't need to lie and cheat

A real man doesn't fear defeat

A real man doesn't run away

But will there ever be a real man to stay?
