Are You Man Enough? Songtext
There′s not a street that you can walk
You got to watch just who you're talkin′ to
They're out to get ya, can't turn your back on a smilin′ face (Smilin′ face)
Next thing ya know, there ain't no trace of you
And this I bet you, some people lose, and some folks win
It′s a matter of what they do
Are you man enough, big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend, just around the bend (Needs a friend, around the bend)
Don′t ya think you should be there?
Are you man enough, when the goin's rough?
Is it in your heart to care?
There′s no pretending it goes away (Uh, uh, uh)
With every step that you take, you pay your dues
And I ain't lyin'
You got to struggle to see the light (See the lighit)
How someone′s lookin′ to steal your right to choose
And don't stop tryin′
It's like a jungle outside the door
And it′s keepin' you so confused
Are you man enough, big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let ′em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna be around?
Gotta keep your eye on the passers by
Better watch your step
'Cause ya never know where the knife will go
And they ain't missed yet
The strong survive, they stay alive, they always cool
But that they never teach you in school
Are you man enough, big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let ′em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend, just around the bend (Needs a friend, around the bend)
Don′t ya think you should be there?
Are you man enough, when the goin' get′s rough?
Is it in your heart to care?
Are you man enough, big and bad enough? (Are you big & bad enough?)
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna be around?
Are you man enough, big and bad enough?
You got to watch just who you're talkin′ to
They're out to get ya, can't turn your back on a smilin′ face (Smilin′ face)
Next thing ya know, there ain't no trace of you
And this I bet you, some people lose, and some folks win
It′s a matter of what they do
Are you man enough, big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend, just around the bend (Needs a friend, around the bend)
Don′t ya think you should be there?
Are you man enough, when the goin's rough?
Is it in your heart to care?
There′s no pretending it goes away (Uh, uh, uh)
With every step that you take, you pay your dues
And I ain't lyin'
You got to struggle to see the light (See the lighit)
How someone′s lookin′ to steal your right to choose
And don't stop tryin′
It's like a jungle outside the door
And it′s keepin' you so confused
Are you man enough, big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let ′em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna be around?
Gotta keep your eye on the passers by
Better watch your step
'Cause ya never know where the knife will go
And they ain't missed yet
The strong survive, they stay alive, they always cool
But that they never teach you in school
Are you man enough, big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let ′em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend, just around the bend (Needs a friend, around the bend)
Don′t ya think you should be there?
Are you man enough, when the goin' get′s rough?
Is it in your heart to care?
Are you man enough, big and bad enough? (Are you big & bad enough?)
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna be around?
Are you man enough, big and bad enough?
