"Man up"
  by KD the King


Man up,
I've had plenty of women in my life and I say that not to brag,
I could have made them happy women but you've already ruined them which makes my record sad,
True it looks good on stat sheets but the King is not a statistician,
My heart has been broken like a weak figure four leg lock or any other poor attempt of a compromising position,
Lying to your woman having her think that she's your one and only,
When you have a roster full of players with interest in how you use your head in coaching,
Swearing that you're a pimp but the first rule in pimping is you don't lie,
and I've learned that the first rule to a woman with a broken heart is that she doesn't try,
and I know it's called "self" esteem but the mental anguish that you've cause her has made those internal feelings manifest into something physically,
A male human lies when he's afraid to man up,
but most of that is pride cause he can't admit that he messed up,

Man Up
I've been with women that didn't want to be my girlfriend cause I told them I wasn't looking for one and they respected me for it,
telling me that "them other girls can't do it like me",
and started some kind of unofficial rivalry,
My point is if you be up front with them,
You will benefit more cause the respect you'll get is much from them,
I've a girl take a mans shoes off of his feet,
cause he lied and took another girl out to the movies and got caught in the lobby,
and that dude is my best friend to this day even though I laughed in his face he still got love for me,
Hell he brings it up from time to time cause now that shit is funny,

It's time to man up,
If you married then that means that you and your wife have become one,
taken a vow under God and pray through Jesus Christ his son,
But you still want to see if you still got it just for fun,
and now when you sleep at night instead of you and your wife you're the only one,
and that's sad for your wife cause she trusted you,
You were supposed to be a man but ended up as a tool,
of the devil he used you just like a shovel,
to dig a grave for yourself and now he's off to the next one,
To try to break up a happy home of a man and wife,
but the only way the devil gets in your home is if you invite him,

So man up,
If you're not ready for a relationship or marriage,
then don't burden yourself with the weight cause weak dudes were never meant to carry it,
cause in order to life the weight you have to have a spine,
and you can only acquire that with a strong woman behind you,
Everybody plays the fool for love but only fools play the tools of lust,
When you commit to woman don't betray her trust,
and I know women do it to but I can't relate them,
cause I'm a man and I know how you think cause sometimes I think the same thing

Wow, this has to be one of your best! So many men, no scratch that, boys need to hear this. Honesty is the best policy, but they'll never get it. So true that devil can't get in unless you invite him, and so many guys are inviting them and not even knowing or caring. Lame, fag ass, punk ass. . . ugh, I digress, but this is the truth and I love it!

Powerful message in this write. The duty of a man, the pride of a man and the position of a man. Many women are applauding because of this write, but so are good men! You all always bring reality to your writes and add a flavor of interest. 10 stars
