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)

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)

[R:]

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 shit

I don't get my stuff together baby you can chunk them deuces.
