Mano a mano, hand to hand handle ya business
Mind over matter, the matter to mind is minding ya business
If you find yourself married the matter is minding the Mrs.
Lest you find yourself finding out that the Mrs. is missing listen
You're busy bobbing and weaving leave it to busy beaver
Better off leaving and meeting with Mrs. Cleaver (get it)
You need to cleave which is working to get a grip
Please believe the serpent is lurking and working to get a split
You've been gifted a position enlisted as the protector
If the love within is listless, lift it up resurrector
You've been charged with a duty from God dude it is hard
But what'd you think He went to do on the cross proving the cost
You're called to really love and real love is sacrificial
You lose & she wins, that's the conditions, (love's sacrificial)
Nothing against you, ain't trying to offend or diss you
But from what I've witness I'd be remiss to not press the issue
Cause half of these marriages ending up in divorce
That's what happens you're putting the carriage before the horse
Instead of trying to be a leader you're busy being a boss
But the only thing you lead at is leaving when things is tough
Marriage is something that's God given for men
Not for boys treating women like toys playing pretend
If you're not ready to die like Christ don't even begin
Just run along pick up your dice and play with ya friends see ya
From the beginning God made man in His image
Play ya position, follow the plan lieutenant
You jumped the broom not counting the cost in it
Don't switch ya tune lead the platoon till the job's finished
From the beginning God made man in His image
Play ya position, follow the plan lieutenant
You jumped the broom not counting the cost in it
Don't switch ya tune lead the platoon till the job's finished
Rock and roll, the rock just rolled, Popa not home
He ain't trying to rock the role cause Popa's rolling stone
No more greetings at the door from the children when he get home
He did his family like a bubble just one pop and he's gone
He should have been
The cornerstone in the building molding his children
He got trapped up in the zone and carried along in his feelings
But to be a father you gotta honor the master plan
You say you need to be free but that's not being man
A real man, in part, is one the family depends on
But you out here showing your part keep ya pants on
Cause what we model is what the children gon follow
So how about we vow to travel a route that we can be proud of
Let's be building with the children and pass up on the saloon
And instill in them the rhythm of tactics with the platoon
So sip a cup of tea with ya daughter playing pretend
And shoot a couple of threes raising these boys to men
From the beginning God made man in His image
Play ya position, follow the plan lieutenant
You jumped the broom not counting the cost in it
Don't switch ya tune lead the platoon till the job's finished
From the beginning God made man in His image
Play ya position, follow the plan lieutenant
You jumped the broom not counting the cost in it
Don't switch ya tune lead the platoon till the job's finished
Man listen inside every man is an ambition
To reach your full potential but part of ya plan's missing
If you're not painting your
Picture from scripture your picture's twisted
Like you rocking speedos but you just think you too big for britches
We're too busy stumbling and fumbling to run the ball
We gotta get up with the trainer be humble before the Lord
Cause a lack of self-control is something you can't afford
You can't keep him on a leash? Then you can't walk with your dog
Plus I can't respect him at home if he don't protect it
Nonetheless this ain't just for your pets if you get the message
And yes you was made to get paid bring home the checks
Why you think God gave you strength
With them muscles? So you can flex?
If you ain't getting it from God you don't know what being a man is
A leader serves to benefit others and that's the standard
This is man to man talk I pray that you understand me
But you can get it from the source, Jesus the most manly
From the beginning God made man in His image
Play ya position, follow the plan lieutenant
You jumped the broom not counting the cost in it
Don't switch ya tune lead the platoon till the job's finished
From the beginning God made man in His image
Play ya position, follow the plan lieutenant
You jumped the broom not counting the cost in it
Don't switch ya tune lead the platoon till the job's finished
