Текст (слова) песни: RZA (Bobby Digital) - Be a Man

 
{*sampled singer singing "Be a man" 
 and "bad situation man" throughout the song*} 
 
[RZA] 
Yeah it`s Bobby Digital 
Just floatin over +The City+ 
I came across this, this, this black man 
He was talkin about (look down below) 
 
Sure of yourself risin, prices of food skyrisin 
Foreign countries movin in USA, enterprisin 
Snatchin your mic then speakin, while you might be leakin 
Then losin the luxury, average man be seekin 
Thought he was so smart; hoe`s cheatin, life fall apart 
Fuckin a hundred bitches couldn`t mend a broken heart 
Start as a soda jerk job, as a mail clerk 
Fucked this white bitch in the office, got fired from work 
Nine-to-five, government high taxes, police dispatches 
Beauracatic attackin black Asiatics, resident with bad plumbin 
Cocaine got my brain numb an` bitch complained `bout cummin` 
Pussy stay hummin; $200 parkin, summer`s out of state warrants 
High blood pressure pills prescribed by Dr. Lawrence 
Got me gainin weight, fuckin up my right kidney 
Cousin raped at school Allah wit me 
Peoples` eyes closed like envelopes by folk membership 
With unpaid doctor bills 
Framed got shot and killed, cops poppin pills 
Three pair cotton, steel closet, cabinet of +No Frills+ 
Mo` bills, sister got evicted from Park Hill 
Punch a hole inside the NARC wheels 
My dogs bark, still carry dark steel 
And unmarked bills, I`m from the uncut, dope, found on director`s reels 
Bobby Digital may switch back to Bobby Steels 
Rusty .38`s, bought rust inside the herb gate 
So +Hungry+, son, `bout to shrink down to a bird`s weight 
Rash break out, where`s the blue ointment, face-to-face appointments 
Un-proudly in the church paid for annointment 
Bet the checks don`t come late 
About to separate with her man 
In +The City+, +Domestic Violence+ excavates 
Get a highest ratio in five years 
The idea is to plant fear 
Boy you slap yo` bitch, po-lice is there to cuff you or snuff you 
They might bust you 
Cause your hoe snatched your money up, didn`t want to fuck you 
We must learn to communicate, and unificate 
Stop the black on black, hate on hate 
White on white, black on white 
Put the love in love 
I`m blunted up, blasted inside the strip club 
Shorty wop, fifteen year old, all she needed was love 
And mo` dough so she won`t have to show her knotty afro 
Collect call from my son to now, he might blow trial 
Foul cut, and cop out to a 3 to 6 
Bad situations, bein a man is hard shit 
Somethin`ll get trapped out, I mean, yo 
Got crack fiends in spots with vaccine shots 
Black teens drop out of high school, white teens sellin stock 
with bonds they can`t put their word on 
20 years, shorty wop, pussy `bout to swerve on 
Up in the crib, new fridge, dead pig 
Two kids, pawned this older cat who looked like Calvin Coolridge 
But got splat in his back last year 
Robbin` his jewel inside the diamond district 
No one got convicted, heard they never found the biscuit 
I`m booby trapped by the capitalists 
Tryin to subsist, sometimes happiness is hot grits and catfish 
Or a bowl of Cookie Crisp, I got harassed by this rookie bitch 
Talkin` `bout I couldn`t put my feet on the fire hydrants 
to tie my kicks, $50 ticket, `bout to strike and picket 
and shout at the City Hall, motherfuck the wicked 
Too greedy, give to the needy, down on my luck 
`bout to jab a ouija board, that`s when Bobby Digi seen me 
Said, "Yo son, don`t stress out over no one, learn the slogan: 
Knowledge is half the battle, that`s one to grow on 
And don`t be counterfeit 
It`s a bad situation which bein a man, but we got to handle it" 
Bad situation when you ain`t bein a man
