Measure of Man

Don't get me started

The seeds in my garden

Are overly ardent

I planted em all

Used to be beefing

With any offending me now I'm collected

I pick up the ball

I wasn't fucking with none of the words on the records you listen to

Wasn't from the heart

Okay fuck it I'm off

I'm gonna speak since the others too weak to come answer the call

Pick of the litter

My role getting bigger

The measure of man's in the way he provides

I don't condone any violence but I got a wife and a kid on the way

I survive

I put it on me to lead with the wisdom I found on my journey of wrestling God

I'm treating love like a habit and kicking old patterns I left in the past when I lied

Yeah

I'm touching down and deplane when I land

I call Aleke and tell her the plan

She said to go give em hell understand yeah

I started drawing a line in the sand

Ring on my hand so they know I'm your man

She know it's up and it's stuck cuz her man's

Pick of the litter

My role getting bigger

The measure of man's in the way he provides

I don't condone any violence but I got a wife and a kid so that stick on my side

I put it on me to lead with the wisdom I found on my journey of wrestling God

I'm treating love like a habit and kicking old patterns I left in the past when I lied

Fingers pointed but they not your target

It feels different when we not departed

See an independent woman living in fear cuz her heart was hardened

Men ain't shit and that's not her problem

Bros talking shit about bitches often

I can't cuff her she a thot regardless

The misogyny of lots of artists

So we isolate ourselves

And tell a plot that's garbage

Not a man or woman found catharsis

No way

Sad shit

We missing the point

This the best shit

Wife and I at home we tryna grow our perspective

Greater than the sum of all its parts a collective

We all have to tend to our ego with attention

Another culture plagued by a fear of rejection

Throw up guard rails and become overly protective

One way road I'd rather veer in a direction

Of finding peace and love

And a foundation of acceptance
