Mi Just a Tell Yuh

“I am a man”

What’s that really?

Having sex with several women

Beating a woman senseless

He doesn’t cry because it's pointless

He doesn’t communicate because it’s a female thing

Mi just a ask

Because that’s all I know a man to be  

Would I want you to be my father?

Would I want you to be my child’s father?

That’s a question you need to answer

Would you date you, sir

Mi just a ask

Because I have no idea what a man should be

If you had a daughter and she met a man like you …would you cry for her or smile with joy

When yuh child introduce you to a man like you …don’t call her nuh fool… you were her example

Careful the example you set it will come back to yuh its call “karma”

Mi just a tell yuh   

Don’t tell anyone yuh a man because yuh a father

Were you there for the birth of that child?

Mi just a ask yuh

I celebrate with the men that treat a woman well and be there for their child …you are so few  

Mi just a tell yuh

Happy international men’s day
