There's no excuse for your apathy
When you're given so much opportunity
What makes you think you can steal from me
What I worked so hard for?
You're always playing the victim
When you're the one who commits the crime
You're feeding off of our blood and sweat
It's nothing to you just take what you can get
I've worked for everything I have
You take what you have for granted
I'd like to believe you'll change
But it's almost like you planned it
So quick to take what you don't deserve
Do what you can to get what's mine
You always have the best excuses
And you do it every time
Stand on your own two feet, get off my back
I've never had so much at stake
I'm making up for the things you lack
But you don't give you only take
[Chorus:]
I'm doing everything I can
To do this right and go somewhere
But you don't know you don't understand
What it means to be a man
What have you done to deserve my sympathy
It's time for you to sleep in the bed that you've made
I've worked for everything I have you take what you have for granted
I'd like to believe that you can change but it's almost like you planned it
[Chorus]
Be a man
