Being the man you want me to be

1998


keeping your heart on point
is like hitting your first joint

sometimes it gets you way too high
or you might have to take another try

living the life of an over dwella
makes your script like cinderella

after 12 its moonshine and green leaf
while your girl is in a deep grief (sleep)

the next day its back to being strong
while you are thinking what is going on

but baby i do love you so
my life, i just don't know

how to explain the way that i am?
but you know i'm still your man

i know the man you want me to be
but in your heart you can see

even though my night life is trouble
our love keeps this ride on the bubble

you want me and i want you
but at 12 i'm hanging with the crew

its hard feeling the way i do
