(Hey Brothers, Hey...)

I've gotten aggressive
Raised voice when I speak
I've gotten defensive
I've packed up and leaved
I've spoken with violence
I've lied through my teeth
Broken your trust
Acted from lust
Had thoughts in my mind you wouldn't believe

Say what I say
I've been lost and depraved
From the womb to the grave
What would my Momma say?

How I've been a man
How I found it so wrong
I said I'd be better
But I waited too long
I acted from privelege
Both concious and blind
Hurted my mothers
Hurted my brothers
Hurted my sisters these are the times...

I once believed 
I was an exception
But believe you me
All me work isn't done

Dont cry 
Stand up
Be a man
Get tough
Make money
Get laid
Work hard
Be a slave
To the lies
And the state
Culture 
Of Rape
Dont give
Just take
Don't you ever be gay

Say what we say
Now the times they have changed
Though this truth might seem strange
It cannot be contained
I will fight
I will cry
To deprogram my mind
Turn these wrongs 
Into rights
Bring my shadow to light
We may not know
How we can make amends
But we're willing
Yes we're willing
And here we stand

Here we stand
Here we stand
Here we stand
I've been lost and depraved
And I've drowned in the shame
But now I am rising up 
To create a change
No time for holding
And there's no time for game
I hope you can feel this shit
Cuz this is the realest shit
Deep in your body
And clear in your brain

We may not know
How we can make amends
But we're willing
Yes we're willing
And here we stand
