From a Woman's Hand

Tell me when you put a camera on a thug

The first thing out of his mouth is

I wanna thank my mama

And some say that causes drama

But its subliminal, theres no efforts needed

It's like pouring water on the ground thats seeded

And you know it happens all the time

So I need to ask this question

Why, oh, why is it hard for dudes

To always be around?

Tell me how can a boy be a man

Only getting fed from a woman's hands?

Tell me what do you think will happen

When you don't come around?

It's gonna be hard for a boy to be a man

Only getting fed from a woman's hand

Now tell me what turns a boy into a thug

Just as soon as he leaves the house

See, he don't have a man to give him little rules

So he don't be running in and out

But it's okay, 'cause mama's there

And mama's doing the best that she could ever do

But the funny thing is when it's all said and done

She probably did it better than you could ever do

Why is it hard for dudes

To always be around?

Tell me how can a boy be a man

Only getting fed from a woman's hand?

Tell me what do you think will happen

When you don't come around?

It's gonna be hard for a boy to be a man

Only getting fed from a woman's hand

Tell me how will a boy learn to stand on his own?

How can he make it all alone? How can he be responsible?

If he don't have his daddy to show him how to be there

Not to minimize what his mama does for him

I'm just saying he gonna need y'all both

Can you tell me why, why, why

Does it gotta be so hard to do a daddy's job?

It's gonna be hard for a boy to be that man

Why is it hard for dudes

To always be around?

Tell me how can a boy be a man

Only getting fed from a woman's hand?

Tell me what do you think will happen

When you don't come around?

It's gonna be hard for a boy to be a man

Only getting fed from a woman's hand

Why is it hard for dudes

To always be around?

Tell me how can a boy be a man

Only getting fed from a woman's hand?

Tell me what do you think will happen

When you don't come around?

It's gonna be hard for a boy to be a man

Only getting fed from a woman's hand

When you missing his first game

Don't even know the boy nickname, that's a damn shame

'Cause you supposed to be the man

The daddy father, the boys role model

That's supposed to be you, supposed to be you
