Any Man In America Lyrics

Listen… I only know spending time away I only know the truth is spoken Best when brutally, so honestly
I let you know you set the standards Lyrically for me One single middle finger saying Raise it up. My speech will always be free Like Martin Luther King, you had meaning to me Single handedly, saving music starving industry A hip hop legend with skin like invisible ink Like even though he was whiter than me He was the first to be colorless Speaking for all of us
And you let us into your family Mother, father, brother, sister, wife, daughter Damn, right in front of me. Just when I miss my daughter desperately, Your mockingbird put dents in me While touring press, and reliving my song "Hate Me" I was losing custody
I never even saw that shit How she played me, and planned and saw it fit To turn the trick that financially she would benefit My first and probably only Billboard hit Was going to pay for my two-year-old's college I should have hid that shit So she couldn't spend that shit It took twenty years of working just to earn that shit Now word for word I've listened, heard, and I'm done. Done.
No,you don't know. You act like you believe it That you're in control It's just your legal system though Ya, they don't think about it No, they don't care about it Now every man in America take back your control
No,you don't know. You act like you believe it That you're in control It's just your legal system though Ya, they don't think about it No, they don't care about it Now every man in America take back your control
So I kept my business quiet just like my lawyer said And I tried to focus all my anger in my work instead I was succeeding and self-reliant, but inside my soul is dead I had to be the sole provider, but not allowed to be the dad Literally they took her from me Legally, they did, they did But I'm not a fucking book, so fuck your book in Lincoln I said
Ya fuck that judge, fuck the county, fuck your family too. Ya, fuck everybody that took my baby girl, Blue
And I'm way too strong, I work my ass off all day long And I'm gone for months at a time, When you keep sitting there, and lying, bitching, "come back home." I hate you, hate you, god! And then you came back home, And filed for another fucking divorce
I'm sick of trying I'm sick of you instead 'cause [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/any-man-in-america-lyrics-blue-october.html ] I'm not sick, dope in my head
Any other man in America can get screwed just like me. Ya.
No,you don't know. You act like you believe it That you're in control It's just your legal system though Ya, they don't think about it No, they don't care about it Now every man in America take back your control
No,you don't know. You act like you believe it That you're in control It's just your legal system though Ya, they don't think about it No, they don't care about it Now every man in America take back your control

You don't understand, probably never will Listen slowly, I'll let you know the deal Lying ass, play the judge with your crying ass Had your nose wide open when you saw the cash Grimy bitch, growing tired of you trying shit Women run the courts, men provide the chips Well, eat up, bitch. 'Til you've had enough, bitch But take my kids, you can kiss both my nuts, bitch
Telling lies, 'cause daddy's always on the road But you're the one fucking like a groupie at a show Money hungry, so you try and take my youngest from me You a dummy, honey. I'll chase you cross the country Bring your drama to your mama, and your mama's mama. Cause we all know, you're chasing after commas A couple checks, a few houses, and Gucci blouses You changing dicks like you changing outfits
Constitution's now-a-days got the daddy's losers While fathers getting fucked like prostitution

You don't know. You act like you believe it That you're in control Well, it's just your legal system though No, they don't think about it No, they don't care about it Every man in America can lose control
You don't know. You act like you believe it That you're in control It's just your legal system though Ya, they don't think about it No, they don't care about it Now every man in America take back your control
No,you don't know. You act like you believe it That you're in control It's just your legal system though Ya, they don't think about it No, they don't care about it Now every man in America take back your control
No,you don't know. You act like you believe it That you're in control It's just your legal system though Ya, they don't think about it No, they don't care about it Now every man in America take back your control
