Be a Mango (feat. Phoenix Pagliacci & LXVNDR)

They

Told me be a man so- I’m tryna BE the big guy/ tried to

Turn me into Rambo- you’ll never SEE the kid cry/ they

Told me be a man but- I’m more like mango:/

Tough on the outside but SWEET on the inside/

They

Told me be a man so- I’m tryna BE the big guy/ tried to

Turn me into Rambo- you’ll never SEE the kid cry/ they

Told me be a man but- I’m more like mango:/

Tough on the outside but SWEET on the inside/

-I never saw my father shed a tear/ maybe

That’s the reason why when I get upset I get a beer/

-why do Y chromosomes determine gender here?/

Better put those thoughts aside- never fear Guinevere/

-Need a couch moved? Let a man handle it/ Need a

New hair do? Better Get a Pam Anderson/ this

Patriarchal construct needs dismantling/ and I’m

Sorry but I don’t care if ya gramps can’t handle it/

-oh I see you saying he’s just “old fashioned”/ but

Have you considered that maybe he’s just an old fascist?/

-some people are torn, conform, or transformed in it/

-Before we see pink or blue- we’re born in it/

-so for a minute picture someone else’s shoe and you’re

In it/ simply try to empathize and morph with it/ and

If it helps you see other’s struggles you’re fortunate/ Cause we’re so much better than this historical horse shit/
