Know my mama always said, never be afraid just to be a real man.
And though I didn't understand, I know what it means when they say God laughs at mans plans.
These are a few of these little life lessons, baby that I've learned (learned)
And I'm just prayin' that she really get the message, baby that I've learned (I've learned)
[Chorus:]
And no more beating round the bush, no no
No more beating round the bush when it comes to commitments or poppin' questions.
I've been burned by the flame, I done so many girls I done learned my lesson
And I know there ain't no half steppin'
When I come this time I know there ain't no half steppin'
I've been burned by the flame I done so many good girls I done learned my lesson
One thing my daddy always said, don't be afraid to show the world who I am (afraid to show the world who I am)
But it ain't just that easy, sometime I don't want the world to see me.
These are a few of these life lessons, baby that I've learned (learned)
And I'm just prayin' that she really get the message baby that I've learned (baby that I've learned)
[Chorus]
Its true I've been around, used to run the town
You can't even blame me if sometimes I put it down
I ain't makin' no excuses, me I'm on some new sh**
I don't get my stuff together baby you can chunk them deuces.
[Chorus]
