You begin your day as if its a ritual Start with a perfect high Stringing yourself like a puppet on **** Go to work at 4 in the morning You say you feel like she's not attracted to you You're my brother The man I've looked up to for the longest Tattoos and piercings Killer style I wish I had Walk into rooms and already the party starts You taught me the basics of life You call yourself a man Yet what happens when you get home She's mad because you're talking to other girls Fight breaks out because you feel your in the right Holes start punching themselves in the walls Just from the loudness of your voice Doors ripped off the hinges Bite marks and bruises Plaster her harm and legs Baseball bats raised as threats I wish you knew how much I hate it When you call yourself a man When you're acting like a ***** Raising your hand to her You called me and said blood was thicker than water Yet every time you get violent Your blood is thinner than the water I drink Tylenol 8 at a time Ibuprofen 3 by 3 **** one dose at a time Just enough to make you sensible to the fact You're losing your family You call yourself a man Yet look at yourself I just wish I could pick you up Pull you out from the abyss you crawled in By our motto has always been You get yourself in you pull yourself out No help needed No hands outstretched Even if they are we high 5 them and say I got this You taught me this You taught me Ollie's and kick flips You taught me how to fix bikes Ramp them till the chain popped Yet now looking ahead I known I'm more of a man than you You told me to shave because I haven't earned it Yet you my brother need to shave Perhaps a wax would do Just because we all know now Your less than the man you claim to be
