[Intro]
(x2)
[Verse 1]
What makes a man, is it to turn the other cheek?
Is what makes a man to avenge a friend in grief, oh
What makes a man, is it to win or just compete
What makes a man, is it the heart to admit defeat
What makes a man, is it a vow to never lie
Is what makes a man to disguise his desperate cries, oh
Is what makes a man the attitude to do or die
What makes a man, is it to stand and question why
What makes a man, is it the equals that he s killed
What makes a man is the reputation he can build
Is what makes a man the count of tally marks to coffins that he s filled
What makes a man, is it the stains from blood he s spilled
[Instrumental]
(x2)
[Verse 2]
What makes a man, is it the pain he can endure
What makes a man, is it the country that he serves, oh
What makes a man, is it the trauma he preserves
What makes a man defend the banner that he burns
What makes a man, is it the cash that he collects
What makes a man, is it the girls that fear the respect, oh
What makes a man, is it to one-up the known best
What makes a man, the one who cleans or makes the mess
What makes a man, is it to cause his lover s moans
Is what makes a man the push to never be alone, oh
What makes a man, is it a woman of his own
What makes a man, is it the man that he can clone
What makes a man, is it the son he works to teach
What makes a man, is it the goals he s set and reached, oh
What makes a man, is it his house built on the beach
What makes a man, is it to prove he is no leech
[Outro]
