Real Man--Matt Bold aka Gods M80

Real Man:


It seems like no one knows whats right or whats wrong.
They got their own opinions were the faults belong.
Their goal in life is finding pleasures that they can.
Well I was raised by one who taught his boy to be a real man.
A man will seldom know the gossip through his town.
A man won't waste time with words tearing others down.
A man won't fall to anger, always looking for a fight.
He'll stand up to the world, for what is right.
A man will raise his boys to be good men,
But when they need strength they'll find a shoulder just for them.
A man will work for days and nights until his body aches.
Providing for the needs at home, and doing what it takes.
To meet his families every needs he gladly does his part,
and when he tires the thoughts of those at home, just fill his heart.
He always knows his father God does every thing he can.
To point him down the right path, and stick with his plan.
A man won't discipline his kids every time they break the rules,
or if they slip up and put a boat in the pool.
It breaks his heart each time they got to get spanked,
but when its done with love, he knows some day he'll get thanked.
A man will never raise his hands to use against his wife.
A man will never say the words that will scare for life.
A man is held beneath a power greater than his own,
and holds himself accountable for whats within his home.
He sets a firm example on the way a man should live.
Then proudly shares the blessings that a Godly life can give.
A man knows his friends are those he'd trust with all he has.
The kind of man who'll be there when times get bad.
You know this man is worth his weight when you travel by his side,
and find friends at every stop that are down for the ride.
For every were you look you'll see another hand to wave.
Each hand belongs to someone who's story he will save.
In short a man is one who claims his life with his mistakes,
and works to claim the future for the family that he stakes.
He's seen by one who's trusted by his family and his friends,
and lives a life convicted through a faith that never bends.
Regardless of the thoughts and words you here from fools who speak.
The God who made this world has shown examples we should seek.
He gave a role for man to play since the very dawn of time.
An all mighty God, who'll never change his mind.
I could have been the type of man who takes what he can get,
and steps upon the hands of all the people that he's met.
But surely there was something I have seen that they did not.
For there's a reason I hold tightly what they forgot.
I've seen the kind of man my God would wish for me to be,
and every day I strive to earn this mans respect for me.
He set the best example for me any father can.
I thank you dad and promise that I'll strive to be a man
