To Be A Man by Eric West Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I ain't a fan of kicking it with models
Cuz I'm always with pretty women when Im in sorrow
Im like their silicon titties my chest is hollow
And none of them ever know how to hold a decent convo
Thats the type of thing makes me call a 10 a 7
That kind of line raises eyebrows from my brethren
Some would say I lost my mind and Im in heaven
But they ain't angels I don't count these females when counting blessings
They just ladies with curves who don't have a learning curve
The good men they love to curve and kick them onto the curb
Parties and makeup is how they determine their worth
That kinda way of living had got me feeling perturbed
This day and age datings lame Im tired of tryna
Date women who ain't impressed unless you fly em to China
All the good women I knew disappeared Im tryna find em
If i could go back in time Id be like "Hi Delilah"
She had time flying fast
Hi Delilah
She had ass, sass, and class
Hi Delilah
But that was all back in my past
Damn
Bye Delilah
[Pre-Chorus]
Now love ain't the same
I had always thought that love ain't a game
And it tears me apart
Can't call it love cuz it don't have any heart
[Chorus]
And its so dumb
How we're so numb
Now the whole thing has changed
No more slow dance
No more romance
Some things just ain't the same
[Verse 2]
Just want someone who be down to Wine n Dine
And if I need her to, be down to work a nine to five
Im tryna last until we 95
Oh my bad, I was just looking down the line
If she down then she's at least about a 9
That means she automatically highly fine
On streets and in sheets I hope she like to grind
And women ain't objects but whats mine is mine
These days standards is outta sight and outta mind
The way everyone treats their partners is out of line
I want a good one but am I outta time?
Go be a hoe on his watch just not on mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Now love ain't the same
I had always thought that love ain't a game
And it tears me apart
Can't call it love cuz it don't have any heart
[Verse 3]
And now we're right back at one
And some things still just isn't adding up
For some chicks blowing bills is having fun
But I done had more fun while having none
They bout the drug life aye pass the blunt
They move fast like all of their lives they had to run
Being with them is never extravagant
They're tricks do it once or twice then the magics done
I want a girl on a mission
I want a girl with ambition
Not just sit home and do dishes
I want a girl with conviction
One that knows about struggle
Knows of life without privilege
One thats willing to hustle
Who's not obsessed with her image
These days that kind of thing is rare
So many cheat, who can you say is fair?
But the film ain't over until the credits roll
Maybe I can find one you never know
[Pre-Chorus]
Now love ain't the same
I had always thought that love ain't a game
And it tears me apart
Can't call it love cuz it don't have any heart
[Chorus]
And its so dumb
How we're so numb
Now the whole thing has changed
No more slow dance
No more romance
Some things just ain't the same
[Poem]
We went from having memorable nights
To women on the gram chasing likes
Now they got standards that is way too high
Want you to be set for life by the age of 25
How are men going to ever survive
If women want too much and won't even help us strive
Used to think that love you couldn't buy
Or is everything I know a lie?
To Be A Man
