Man Up Anthem

[Verse 1 – Lecrae]

Momma want some Obama in me

The hood want ‘Pac hip-hop

wanna see the Common in me

And since it’s a senseless contradiction

I end up a misfit tryna fit in

This ends when I stand up

And see the hands that are standard,

holy is the Lamb huh

Now we holding you to man up

‘Cause we were made in His image

start looking at what you came from

[Verse 2 – KB]

Right after Adam every atom in our anatomy’s

Had to make adamant after what Adonai is against

Let me take you back to the tree in Eden

Never eat it, you’ll see that Eve was deceived

But Adam is the one who let her eat it

Instead of leading, no we ain’t leading we bump that

Basically little boys with muscles and a mustache

The femininity, we need a remedy

The God-Man a hundred percent masculinity

[Verse 3 – Trip Lee]

Where the men at? Seems like they all lost

None of them are on the scene, seems like they died off

They extinct but my dream is to rise up

We chasin’ the prize of the King the divine boss

But we fell away, now we ungodly

We lose then we really got the blues like Navi

I want to celebrate the dudes that’s beside me

Fellas let’s elevate, we through with the lobby

[Verse 3 – Tedashii]

They lied, go ahead say boy get your shine on

And if a sucker try to block you get your nine homes

That’s what I heard you gotta do to be a man now

Stand up for yourself so I took it in my hands now

And that’s the problem man we busy trying to solve it

All the while we walking dead, man somebody bring the coffin

Voice drop, peach fuzz, now you think that you a man

‘cause you feelin’ yourself? -- You need to man up

Yeah, there’s many things men is chasin’ after

They got some questions? We got some answers

[Verse 4 – Sho Baraka]

Sex and models and tippin’ bottles

Pack a pile of excuses right next to your bottle caps

A Rolodex filled with names that you aim to please

Next to the stack of money buildin’ up a heart of greed

Ice on his neck, givin’ jokers the cold shoulder

You drunk off pride plus you loving the hangover

You gotta whole lotta stuff that won’t amount to gain

Life will never make sense because you never made change

[Verse 5 – PRo]

We got it twisted, sick like a fever

Lil’ man live to stack dough, Keebler

Man up! Get up out of that treehouse

Leave them cookies alone, it’s time to eat meat now

Tryna show you a new way to live now

No charge, you can call it a freestyle

Without Christ you won’t know what a man is

You a boy in a man’s body like Tom Hanks in Big

[Verse 6 – Andy Mineo]

Being a man got nothin’ to do with age

You can be a boy till the day you lay in your grave

None of us behave like the image of who we’re made

‘Cause we fallen the ways it’s better known as depraved

Running from responsibility really we crave

The easy way out of places that call us to pull our weight

Man they blowing through every day decisions are made

Responding to the call God’s giving ‘em from the gate

Man Up!

Let the process begin, separate the boys from the men

Man Up!

It don’t matter how you started, partner, it’s about how you end

Man Up!

Jesus is the model, follow us we gon’ follow him

Man Up!

We the last of a dying breed, it’s time that we …

MAN UP!
