Longhair’s Lament

v.1
Oh, I don’t know
Can’t judge a man by the look of his clothes
I bet he cleans up well, eat his vegetables
and does something that makes him feel incredible

and how’s a man supposed to feel
when he’s trying to deal and live the good life still
and hell, I bet he’d love to cruise in a Cadillac
but he works for what we earns and the Chevy gets his there & back

& I bet he remembers what it’s like to walk it
Loves his vehicle, thinks it’s funny when you talk about it
Cause he, sleeps better when he’s actually tired
He eats better when he’s actually hungry
And all sweat that it takes to make ends meat makes him feel like he’s actually something
and how’s a man supposed to feel?
when he’s trying to deal and live the good life still

c.
Cause he, sleeps better when he’s actually tired
He eats better when he’s actually hungry
And all sweat that it takes to make ends meat makes him feel like he’s actually something

v.2
Oh, I don’t know
Can’t judge a man for doing something he knows
That suit fits well, it’s all up in the style
But i sweat it’s something else that makes his smile

And something that cracks that hard shell
Trained to straight face like lifting a barbell
and really.. how’s a man supposed to feel?
when he’s trying to deal and live the good life still
