The Man In You

Although I don't really know how to handle you I will have nobody kicking no sand in your face Not even a trace of bland in you Teenage and it's a trouble understanding you You got plenty of energy and stamina Forgot all the little tricks I tried to cram in you There's a bit of, 'I don't give a damn' in you, ha And that's your old man in you Stand in your way, never or ever abandon ya And on the day people say what they can't stand in ya Don't let your ego get out of hand on ya It ain't a good look when crook-kharma land on ya Balance yourself, bring out the Zinedine Zidane in you The I will and I can in you Execute the grand plan in you I'm your daddy and happy to see the man in you Might know too much but I'm no soft touch Brought you up, to recognize lies as such I need no crutch, child hood was arduous And if there is a God I'm sure He would pardon us Must be working hard in us, not to harden us Ten, that you really wanna be Twenty, exactly what you see is on telly Eleven, you can't tell him anything That he don't know already Twelve, they get together steady Explore the first keeping up with the many Thirteen, none of them are ready Living on old raised broke not a penny Fourteen, baby in the belly She's all done a runner another no daddy Fifteen, Nanny and she loves it dearly Head strong proving all along but wary Sixteen, scale we were quite contrary This is how the garden grows This is how the garden grows Children, you still own the power To turn this into your finest hour Now a young ma mum that mistake Can make a contribution why don't we wait and see Give back the mothers their dignity And the fathers who roam free a lesson in humility This society needs to learn empathy It happened to you, it could happen to me It happened to you, it could happen to me It happened to you, it could happen to me It happened to you, it could happen to me Birds and bees without flowers Girls be strong, boys don't cower Stand by your seat, scream and shower Oh, how the sweet can turn sour Birds and bees without flowers Girls be strong, boys don't cower Stand by your seat, scream and shower Oh, how the sweet can turn sour
