lyrics

[Chorus]
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/

[Verse 2 - Ghettosocks]
-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/
Enter
Darren
