Hard Man
Hard man,
sad man in disguise
trying to cover up
what’s behind the lies
look into his face
see behind the eyes
the pain and the hurt
he’s suffered in his life.
Hard man
tries acting like he don’t care
spends his time creating
an atmosphere of fear
it’s all external it’s all bluff
see what happens
when you push him to much
he will either explode
and simply breakdown
hard man
you ain’t as tough as you sound
treating women
like they ain’t worth a ****
truth is love, you can’t handle it
so you cast it to one side
like you cast away the women
make out that it’s you that’s winning
but I see the truth because I grew
up around the likes of you
your intimidation doesn’t come from strength
your nasty streak represents being weak
and because you can’t define it
in an intellectual norm
you manifest it in a physical storm
but I don’t hate you like others do
in truth I feel sorry for you
because hard man I know your life story.
