Ft. Jylda

lyrics

I'm trying to play the role
I gotta be all tough and take control
So I'm working on my handshake
I gotta lift weights
I gotta man up
I gotta look straight

You've got to pick a team man
Boys grow up
There's no inbetween man
Boys grow up
They said to grin and bare it
Boys grow up
You've got to be a real man
Boys grow up

But that's not me
I just wanna be free to have autonomy

They said don't be a pussy
Boys grow up
Keep it to yourself son
Boys grow up
No one likes a weak man
Boys grow up
You've got to put your foot down
Boys grow up

If you teach boys will be boys
And that girls are merely toys
Then how will these boys grow up?
And that girls are just display
To be used and thrown away
Things won't change because boys grow up
And if you tell boys to be straight
Like it's the only way
Then how will these boys grow up?
And if you teach them crying's wrong
And that silence equals strong
Then some of them will never grow up
