Where a man is defined

You showed me to live like this
By showing me love is priceless
Even if life is a hit or miss
If any man knows what it is to be a man
It's too know where he stands

I glance to the sky
Sigh
I'm not lost in my mind
Just want something too find
I know how I stand

I learn from the streets
I know where lovers meet
I still have blood on my feet
I know mentally I"ll never be beat
I know why I stand

Broken glass
I'm dying fast
I moved from my past
I won't die last
I know the sacrifice of a man

We hold our smokes
Between our lips we leave a gap
We burn
And we exhale
Like hope our lungs will soon look pale
I know I have to let go of bad habits to become a better man

I know where I stand
When people die they take a part of me
I just want you too see
I'm a man with a plan
I know my reason for which I stand
