brandon carter - man up lyrics
[hook: bg]
i be tryna man up
there’s no place you can run
there’s no turning back now
all you can do is man up
i be tryna man up
this is the big leagues
prepare to enter a new world
[verse 1: brandon carter]
played the game how it goes in this world full of hoaxes
always get the interview, but always end up chokin’
got the key to the ignition, but lost it shortly
gotta play it out regardless if you lose
gotta keep your hands up, regardless if you stand a chance
gotta keep your head up
learn how to be a man
you’re prey to these predators!
who work up a storm, just to set you up
bring you down to their level, just to lift them up
i’ll push hours ’til i drop, don’t matter if my feet can take it
always been about the cost, but your spending money’s fading
always want to cross the boss, ’cause you never had the patience
do your job!
you’ve been waiting, but you never had the gall
always take the easy routes, always seem to see ’em out
always hate to hear the truth, the truth is all you hear about?
find that person that you were—the one you never found
[hook: bg]
i be tryna man up
there’s no place you can run
there’s no turning back now
all you can do is man up
i be tryna man up
this is the big leagues
prepare to enter a new world
all you can do is man up
[verse 2: brandon carter]
there are some desperate measures
i don’t do it with pleasure
but i have to improvise through
rain, shine, and weather
i don’t need help, i can find my own leverage
don’t need a handout from you people, no never
i better pull myself out the gutter
prove that i really love them
accept the consequences, eventually you’ll recover
i see a future ’bout a mile away
while others make one on the interstate
i’m-ma step up as a man to get my bread and b-tter
man up now, it’s all or nothin’
listened to my elders, now the wise runs in me
a boy in a man’s shoes, i subside by lifting
carry the name on my shoulder, i decide with wisdom
apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
the ball is in my court, i think i’m only me
build your legacy up ’til your work here is done
you just need to man up and make a great one
broken and numb—the point is you’ve won
[hook: bg]
i be tryna man up
there’s no place you can run
there’s no turning back now
all you can do is man up
i be tryna man up
this is the big leagues
prepare to enter a new world
all you can do is man up
