Lyrics
Chorus
Man up and take care of your families
Man up and teach your son how to be a king
If your dad wasn’t there for anything
Why put your own son through the same thing?
V1
You watch your first son being born, nervous from his crying
but the first time he looks at you, you fill with excitement
you want to give him the world, he’s the heir to your throne
as he learns to walk and talk, he becomes your little clone
emulating your words and action, mannerisms and reactions
trying his best to be just like you, you’re his hero, you’re his daddy
now cherish these moments cuz they won’t last long
and you know the traps the world will throw at him so make him strong
and teach him your secrets, from school to life lessons
how to treat women, defend himself, and deal with rejection
being a good example of a man’s the best way to help him
cuz the things that you don’t talk about, I bet you someone else will
and as he grows older your bond will grow closer
sometimes you’ll disagree but eventually, he’ll be the grown one
one day, you’ll proudly watch him start his own family
and you’ll know you did it right when he teaches his sons the same things
Chorus
Man up and take care of your families
Man up and help you daughter become a queen
If your dad wasn’t there for anything
Why put your own daughter through the same thing?
V2
You watch your daughter being born and man, you’re terrified
she’s so pure and defenseless, tears roll down your eyes
knowing everything you’ve ever seen or done to other women
might be done to her through karma so you can’t let her be a victim
but it’s tricky cuz girls are trusting and loving people
determining their worth by how other people see them
you need to protect her and you’ve also got to teach her
if she ever gets a guy who beats her then she’s got to leave him
at this stage, she soaks it up, you’re her special tutor
she’s daddy’s little girl, all she wants is your approval
so build up her confidence, show her she can do it
and build up her street smarts so no one can use her
teach her all about men, our games, tactics, and lingo
and how to defend herself and deal with police if she needs them
as your little girl becomes a woman, you’ll get more protective
sometimes you’ll disagree, thinking she forgot your lessons
in time she’ll move away and somebody will court her
you’ll think you’re losing your baby but you must stay supportive
cuz every woman eventually wants kids and her own home
so be proud she’s started a loving family of her own
Chorus
Man up and take care of your families
Man up for your wife, your beloved queen
If your dad wasn’t there for anything
Why put your wife and kids through the same thing?
V3
You’ve already found your queen and she gave you a family
your better half, constantly helping you with your dreams
an expert with your kids, likes teaching them how to read
she’s got your back when times are hard, flawless budgeting
your best friend, a great cook, and still keeps her curves
tries her best to keep you happy and all she wants in return
is love and appreciation but if you don’t give it
you risk losing it all so shower her with love and kisses
and also, your sons will be watching the way you treat her
so treat her with respect so they’ll see women as their equals
and daughters will think the way you treat her is how they will be treated
so be romantic, respectful, never beating, never cheating
and God will watch to see if you’ll protect them or neglect them
if you willingly hurt your family, how do you expect to get to Heaven?
so stick with the plan and be the best man you can be
cuz your love and support’s the greatest gift you can give your family
Chorus
Man up and take care of your families
Man up for your wife, your beloved queen
If your dad wasn’t there for anything
Why put your wife and kids through the same thing?
