[Verse 1: Cee]
Yeah, it's still a man's world we living in
A patriarchy from the days of the Egyptian kings
When a woman was subordinate to every whim
And all of your potential depending on if you had a dick
sh**, but are we really that progressive now?
'Coz some have gotta rock a burka 'fore they stepping out
Plus the pay grade lesser, yes sir, still
Body image undressed and messed up, chill
So, what a real man supposed to do?
Smile while I'm feeling stupid in this monkey suit?
Keep quiet lest we making sh** uncomfortable?
Stand by while these legislators f** with you?
Nah, mate a real man, he won't have it
For his fellow human beings, he gon' bleed with 'em
And equality more than a concept
We born of the same thing, so it's all in or we all dead
A real man taking care of his biz
Carry himself like an adult legit, and earn respect from his kids
Treat his wifey like the Queen that she is
And have a noble motive with every move that he did
And yo, it's been a man's world
But if 'man' is a generic word for h*mosapien then yeah, it is, bro
It's time we k**ing the exclusionary bullsh**
Progression comes from unity, let's do this as a unit
[Verse 2: D-Shade]
Yeah, gotta be something in them XY chromosomes
Why else we flexing to control this globe we on?
Struggle heavy when you gotta hold your own
Son kids life lessons, learning how to hold chrome
Yeah it's a man's world, but I ain't proud of it
We on some bullsh** that make me sick to my stomach
They say they in charge when they're just puppets
Ignorance is bliss so we sit back and love it
Push comes to shove, I'ma tell 'em where to stuff it
Gotta speak my mind when I'm in the eye of the public
Bow to no man, that's wisdom from the old man
Times are barbaric like this is the age of Conan
Uh, I ain't rolling with their program
Liable to go H.A.M. if I gotta throw hands
And, take the stand for the whole Fam
That's just what you do when you know you a grown man
I ain't kiddin', my homie, I'm tryina own land
Vision very different from the times when I had no plan
Elevate your women to the levels that they ought to be
Instead of steady trippin' when they talk about equality
Stop treating people like they piece of property
Then we just might get somewhere probably
I heard you reap what you sow out in this world
And it all means nothing without a woman or girl, man's world
