Be a man

You’ve been pacing the floor, but the clock is ticking down Trying to hide the panic while I'm coming for the crown Used to think you’re heavy, now you’re running light as air Talking big in private but you freeze up when I'm there Plastic smiles, Hollywood style, it’s all a cheap facade You built a little castle but you forgot who is god I am the peak of the pressure, the storm that’s rolling in You’re at the end of your rope before we even begin. (Chorus) Be a man, cuz. Step into the light. Be a man, cuz. Stand up and fight. You’re running from a shadow, hiding from the threat But I’m the debt collector coming to collect. Be a man, cuz. Stop playing pretend. This is where the talking and the games gotta end. (Verse 2) You avoid the real challenge, always looking for a route Turning into smoke the second that the lights go out Phony little moves, yeah I see through the routine You're acting like a giant but you're small behind the screen I don't need a gimmick, I just state the cold facts Washing out the fake names, breaking down the acts You've been dodging the smoke like it carries a disease But you're dropping to your knees when I bring the deep freeze. (Outro) (The melody fades out, leaving just a slow, crushing bass drum hit) Nowhere left to run. No more escape routes. The walls are closing in on you, cuz. Face it. Be a man.
