If you lose your woman, please don't lose your mind If you lose your woman, please don't lose your mind Don't cower down yourself indeed You don't even take that drag A man these days Needs a strong will to survive I work hard at my job, don't gamble with my pay I work hard at my job, don't gamble with my pay When the government come for their share They wanna take more than I got to give A man these days Needs a strong will to live When I was down on my luck, sold my car just to pay my rent When I was down on my luck, sold my car just to pay my rent When my friend asked me how I been He had the laughter I just couldn't lie I said a man these days Needs a strong will to get by I said a man these days Needs a strong will to survive
