The Man That Got Away

The Man That Got Away

Verse 1

You call yourself a man but you're logically challenged

You get emotional by flying off the handle

Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate

This is who you are organically

You can't change but you can modify

You call yourself a man but you cause ears to burn

Verbal interactions mostly add fuel to the fire

Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate

You're naturally inclined to act this way

Your DNA has changed

Verse 2

You call yourself a man but you're fantastically out of mind

Understatedness is something you're unfamiliar with

Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate

This is how you behave but you don't have to act this way

You call yourself a man but you're internally oblivious

Society knows more about you than you know of yourself

Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate

This is why you'll be conditioned without formidable opposition

Verse 3

I am a man because I have fortitude

Fearlessness is what I've incorporated 

Words are measured and actions are deliberate 

This is how I've been since becoming reborn

Bridge

Learning is nothing more than a change in behaviour

Being in accordance with high standards builds character

A dignified way of life is the best defence against strife

The pursuit of excellence will propel you to greater heights

Chorus 1

I once was tread upon

I was taken advantage of

I restored myself by reclaiming my power

Chorus 2

I once was abused

I was mistreated and disrespected

I transformed myself by being the man that got away
