Take It Like a Man - Koritni

You know my mother told me but I as a little boy

It’s about time that you grew up son, and threw away your toys

I ried and cried and i could’nt beleive

That life could be so cruel, and oh so mean

It was a lesson that I could’nt forget, but it didn"r change a thing

Well when I was an adolescent the teacher said to me

That I was the worst child that he ever did see

They tried to dominate me into submission

But they cound’nt bring me down, now the wheel’s going to turn

Try to break me, they said «he'll never learn»

I said

«Don't forsake me cause you necer know when the tables will turn»

Stand up and take it like a man

Stand up take it if you can

Stand up take it like a man

Stand up and take it, just take it like a man

Wgen i turned 17 I thought that everthing would change

But i quickly realised that the difference was the same

The teachers turnes into police, the pencils became guns

Now educations called suppression, the playground’s called a slum

Try to make me conform when will you learn?

I said «don't mistake me

It’s just a matter of time before your neighborhood burns»

Daddy always said to me «boy just do the best you can

In every situation stay on your feet and take it like a man» yeah

Stand up, take it

Stand up, take it like a man

Stand up, take it

Stand up, take it like a man if you can

Stand up and take it like a man

Stand up take it if you can

Stand up take it like a man

Now you’re a man son, start acting like one

Separate yourself from the crowd

Stand up and take it like a man now
