Greater Man

They say you're nobody They talk lies behind your back They speak of an insignificant soul A heart worth no attention I say - It's the prominence of my walk The strength of my stance The graize of my speech to the intelligence beyond glance I'm a man that's greater A Greater Man - that's me A lot try to say you're ugly Change your appearence - your style Try to make you conform Be coll, Be "in," whatever that may mean I say - It's the brown of my skin The scar on my hand The rareness of my style to the bareness of my ends I'm a man that's greater A Greater Man - that's me They despise your real talk Call you weak - Call you a punk They turn the world against you Your friends - Your loved ones I say - It's the abundance of my knowledge The credit of my character The uniqeness of my name An undisputed fame - I'm a man that's greater A Greater Man - that's me So when they give you lip And they torture your stature When they come across your self-esteem And say you're not anything I say - It's the flare of my actions The perseverance of my smile The integrity of my measure The courage of my style - I'm a man that's greater A Greater Man That's me
