BE A MAN
Ola Onabule & Matt Johnson © 2010
Oh! What I'd like, and what I'll get
Ain't ever quite the what you guessed
The way I do, and aim to be
Might not impress, might not redeem
But who's gonna take a stand
On what I bear with pain
I can't expect to breathe relief when it's back to back to back, Oh no!
So I'm gonna think again
About the players and the game
You know the rules have just been changed
Be the champ but not the same
Be a man
No backing down or skirting round or taking flight Oooh!
Stand up and do it right
I'm not a creature of the night
I straighten up my back and fight
Just like a man
They think it's me, I know it's you
It's in those eyes, That ain't ever been blue
The chance is love, not lived enough
The loss is love, not felt enough
But who's gonna take a stand...
Be a man
No backing down or skirting round or taking flight Oooh!
Stand up and do it right
I'm not a creature of the night
I straighten up my back and fight Just like a man
