I'm a Man

Mama always said you gotta treat people right
But never let them push you around
She told me son you gotta be polite
But you always gotta stand your ground

Evil ways can drag you down to hell
So fight off all that hate with love
So many times I’ve slipped and fell
But I know each time I’ll get back up

That is why I hold my head up high
I’ll pay the price for who I am
So don’t judge me by what you think you see
I’m a sinner, I’m a saint, I’m a man

The more you gain the more you stand to lose
Always lookin’ for the upper hand
So many roads every day I must choose
To try and lead me to the promised land

My battle cry I’ll testify, I’ll walk unafraid
To the valley of the shadow of death
I will keep on climbin’ up until I fall
And I’ll fight right up ‘til my last breath
