[Verse One]
Tell me why when you put a camera on a thug
The first thing out of his mouth
Is I wanna thank my mama
And some say that causes drama
But its subliminal
Theres no efforts needed
Its like pouring water on the ground that already seeded
And you know it happens all the time
So Ineed to ask this question
[Chorus]
Why oh why is it hard for dudes to always be around
Tell me how can a boy be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hands
Tell me what do you think will happen
When you don't come around
Its gonna be hard for a boy to be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand
[Verse Two]
Now tell me what turns a boy into a thug
Just as soon as he leave the house
See he don't have a man to give him little rules
So he don't running in and out
But it's okay 'cause mamas there
And mamas doing the best that she could ever do
But the funny thing is when it's all said and done
She probably did it better than you can ever do
[Chorus]
Why oh why is it hard for dudes to always be around
Tell me how can a boy be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand
Tell me what do you think will happen
When you don't come around
Its gonan be hard for a boy to be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand
[Verse Three]
Tell me how will a boy learn to stand on his own
How can he make it all alone
How can he be responsible
If he dont have his daddy to show him how to be there
Not to minimize what his mama does for him
I'm just saying he gone need ya'll both
Can you tell me why why why
Does it gotta be so hard to do a daddy job
It's gonna be hard for a boy to be man
[Chorus]
Why oh why is it hard for dudes to always be around
Tell me how can a boy be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand
Tell me what do you think will happen
When you don't come around
Its gonan be hard for a boy to be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand
Why oh why is it hard for dudes to always be around
Tell me how can a boy be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand
Tell me what do you think will happen
When you don't come around
Its gonan be hard for a boy to be a man
Only getting fed from a woman's hand
When you missin' his first game
Don't even know the boy nickname
Thats a gotdamn shame
You supposed to the daddy father
The boys role model
Thats supposed to be you
