Question

"What Type Of Man Are You?"

You say you're a man and all,
you stand with your hands on balls.
Stay out late, never answer when your girl calls.
What type of man are you?

While I'm asking the question;
make you want to grab weapons?
What type of man are you?
Asking guns to do;
What your hands can do?
Pull it on me, shoot me, I'll die;
peace sign on my hands for you.
Do you get mad if I stand to you?
What type of man are you?

Are you the type of man,
if your woman talks loud you raise your hand?
Is that you? Do you call yourself a man?
Do you talk all day, call your woman a *****?
Gossiping fools need to look in the mirror.
A man? Is that what you're seeing?
What type of man are you being?
Are you worthy of the title?
The answer to that is vital.
Are you the type of man,
that looks at Truth and sees a rival?
If laying hands on a woman
is a man that's you...
you deserve a real man laying hands on you.
That's what 2pac meant calling men bitches.

If you call yourself a man
and that was you.
You can call yourself a *****
while beautiful women laugh at you.

Do you call me feminine, for
knowing a real woman's perspective?
I think you need to turn into
a self-detective.
Recognize the true *****.
I stay wise, hoping you switch.

Answer 1

Both this and TRUTH could be viewed as controversial statements, very personal to/about you.

Certainly no sin in expressing. This piece sounds more like two males facing each other in a replay of a scene from West Side Story. Obviously not traditional, even in a new age sense, but a sign of the times, and evolution.

I found "truth" to be more relevant, and not as harsh as this, but with some finessing both could be valid pieces defining a generation and it's issues.

Just my two cents

That was very strong and I liked it. ;)
