He's got a t-shirt |
|
Michael Jordan on the front |
|
He's got knock knees |
|
Bigger than his baby face |
|
You can't tell |
|
This little boy he's not a man |
|
No one |
|
He'll listen to beside his gun |
|
He's got |
|
Red hair that he tries to dye blue |
|
He's got a girlfriend |
|
And what's it mean to you now? |
|
If he hits her once in a while |
|
He ain't got nothing else to do |
|
He's just a manchild |
|
Well he's handsome and he's got a nice car |
|
He's straight out smart |
|
And he knows he could go far |
|
But that same knowledge |
|
Is like a dark cloud |
|
He's got too much |
|
He's far too proud |
|
He's just a manchild |
|
I can hear his mama crying |
|
When you gonna go to bed? |
|
You're wrestling every word you ever said |
|
To your baby |
|
But he's not your baby no more |
|
T-shirt |
|
Dred-lock |
|
Freckle |
|
Semi-automatic |
|
School book |
|
Soldier |
|
No job |
|
What's it mean to you? |
|
Too much |
|
Too little |
|
Mama |
|
Trying to raise her baby |
|
Drop-out |
|
Stay in |
|
Stay straight |
|
Bend the rules a little |
|
No need |
|
To ask why |
|
He's just a manchild oh |
|
So strong |
|
So silly |
|
Lots of toys to make him feel big now |
|
Mama |
|
You keep trying |
|
Keep trying like centuries past oh |
|
Keep trying |
|
Keep trying |
|
I know you'll keep on trying |
