Pants still sagging
Clothes still baggy
When you gonna step in to your grown man
When you gonna grow in to you own man
Cornrows
White tees
Hitting on the eighteens
When you gonna step in to your grown man
When you gonna grow in to you own man
Forty trying to be rapper
Unemployed
Dead beat dad
When you gonna step in to your grown man
When you gonna grow in to you own man
Now I’m not trying to put you in suits and ties
Or make you cut your hair
Or get a nine to five
I’m simply wondering why complacency is glorified
Why grown men want to hold on to teenage life
The time has come to be a grown man
See women want a man who can stand on his own and
Who doesn’t flip his pockets inside out and extends his hand
It’s about priorities
The line between boyhood and maturity
I wrote these lines because I find guys in the majority
And I see the potential for greatness
So this laziness irritates me
So when you gonna step in to your grown man
