Tamell Bailey - Becoming A Man

Thought I was a man when i was just a boy
Using women for what i wanted like they were toys
Now i know i was wrong, and they deserve respect
I use to try to control, but now i lead instead
Women follow me easily because i am the truth
Don't be afraid to follow, we are adults, not youth
It's not a sign of weakness, just of women and men
I take the blame for the good and bad times till the end
A man's word is his bond, so if i said it i meant it
Once in a while you need a smile to go along with the business
Humor is my sixth sense, because I see sad people
Don't be afraid to laugh, or speak to me when i see you
I am becoming a man, learning a manly style
The first step i had to make was to stop living denial
