Be Your Own Man
Don't call yourself a man
You're scared, you're a coward
You're too afraid to be yourself so you give other men your power
You try to hide in the dark and transform in the light
Cause you were made without heart and born without fight
Who cares what others think? Only you know your soul
Don't let your words and your moves be something that others control
Don't follow man, follow God
Make men follow your lead
Plant your own seed and grow your own tree
Men speak of their loyalty but they won't go to jail for you
And if you're forbidden to go to Heaven, they won't go to hell for you
But when they want something from you, that's when they'll be there for you
But when you have nothing to give, they don't even care for you
When will we all learn? When will we understand?
If we don't wanna burn, we have to turn away from man
The best thing for us to do is to put our life in God's hands
When we live for the world, we only live in accord with Satan's plan
We all die in the game when we play with the wrong hand
You can be a righteous leader if you be your own man
