It's time for a change! This generation... this generation needs a hero!What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love, tough love
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter, and calls it tough love, tough love
Your roots grow in the cracks of the alleys, college park made you
Man enough to see, man enough to see, there ain't a goddamn man in meTake me back to a date before I was hostile and learned to hateYou promised you would never become,You promised you would never become,
A storm a blackout replicating the one
The thunder inside him became your life
And you called him your best friend 'til the day you were nineWhat is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love, tough love
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter, and calls it tough love, tough loveHotel rooms, bourbon and broads, a drifter living life without God
You've done it now, you planted a seed. Now the storm inside you - it swallows herBaby love, alright
And I know life can be so strange
But I know I can make a change
I'm gonna wipe away the clouds for yaI'm gonna be around for ya,
I'm gonna paint the town for ya,
I'm gonna make a promise to give you everything you want and need,
But she fucked up now, cause she's bearing another mouth you can't feedCease production of a destructive breed,
Seek help cause your pride only makes you weakAnd what is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love, tough love
What is a man, who can't take a stand for his daughter (can't take a stand), and calls it tough love, tough love
Your roots grow in the cracks of the alleys, college park made you
Man enough to see, man enough to see, there ain't a goddamn man in me
(There ain't a goddamn man in me)
