XROSS Man Up Lyrics XROSS lyrics

(feat. Billy Steele)


Intro
Life is a trip, it's gets hard sometime, some people say that's life, but growing up in this world as a young black male, trying to be a man, it's tough, it's real tough.

Course
Keep moving on, and keep your head up,
It's time to stand up for real dog, and man up,

I know that life gets hard sometime, but trust me you can take it,
I know this world's a crazy place believe me you can make it,

Cause you're a true survivor, sometime you stand alone,
But you should always pray, no matter what's going on,

So gone on and man up, cause brighter days a coming
And when they get here, you can tell them that you came from nothing.

verse I
Aye today's the first of class
And I'm gone give you answers so that you can pass

When you add it all up you can do the math
Subtract all your mistakes cause they in the pass

The game never changes man it just evolves
It comes back around every year just like Santa clause

The more live the more you learn, and that's a known fact
The more you know the more you earn, so you should study that

Cause every day is a another day that you can make a change
Start with my mind, reprioritize that way you think

Don't sit around and try to wait for people to help you out
Be a go getter, and go get it, then they'll help you out

That's what it's all about, that's what life's about
Overcoming your fears, put faith in God, and lose the doubt

Put your pride aside, stay humble, and let the crowd pass
Become your own man, a leader, and get that honest cash

Course
Keep moving on, and keep your head up,
It's time to stand up for real dog, and man up,

I know that life gets hard sometime, but trust me you can take it,
I know this world's a crazy place believe me you can make it,

Cause you're a true survivor, sometime you stand alone,
But you should always pray, no matter what's going on,


So gone on and man up, cause brighter days a coming
And when they get here, you can tell them that you came from nothing.

Verse II
Money comes and money goes so don't caught up
Take the price tag off your soul and don't get bought up

A minds a terrible thing to waste so you should keep yours
Flip the channel, turn the radio down, and read yours

Everybody got some problem, you ain't the only one
But everybody don't solve problems, but you could be one

You can be the first to graduate and get the job
Be the one that they congratulate for getting the job

You never knew your daddy cool that's another lesson
Only more reason for you to raise your own and enjoy the blessing

A sad story's only sad when you tell it sad
But you can write your own story and tell your story gladly

Life ain't playing with cha weather you're ready or not
But XROSS praying with cha, I'm praying that you never stop

Barak Obama, black president, boy that's cool
No more excuses, look within man, it's time to move

BRIDGE
When the world seems cold and you feel you like your all alone
Put your faith in God and he will make you strong
No matter what you going thru,
The lord is always there for you
He will always hear your prayer,
I know that God, he cares
I said I know that God he cares!

Course
Keep moving on, and keep your head up,
It's time to stand up for real dog, and man up,

I know that life gets hard sometime, but trust me you can take it,
I know this world's a crazy place believe me you can make it,

Cause you're a true survivor, sometime you stand alone,
But you should always pray, no matter what's going on,

So gone on and man up, cause brighter days a coming
And when they get here, you can tell them that you came from nothing.
