Lyrics
You call me a boy, but you know I'm a man
You insist I'm a boy, but you're aware I've grown into a man.
Don't try to disrespect
Do not attempt to show disrespect.
You won't dictate who I am, or what I'll become
You won't control or define who I am or what I'll achieve.
Where's your pride and disgust, when the time finally comes
Where is your sense of honor and disgust when the moment of truth arrives?
Where's your pride and disgust, when the time finally comes
Repeated line, emphasizing the absence of expected emotions at a crucial time.
What's the reason why you called me a boy
What's the motive behind labeling me as a boy?
Give me a reason why you keep up the aggression
Explain why you persist with hostility and aggression.
Give me a reason why you can't acknowledge I'm a man
Give a rationale for your inability to recognize me as a grown man.
Where's your pride and disgust, when the time finally comes
Where is your sense of honor and disgust when the crucial moment arises?
Where's your pride and disgust, when the time finally comes
Repeated line, underlining the lack of expected emotions at an important time.
Don't stop now
Encouragement to persist in facing these issues.
Tell me what you said
Request to repeat the statement made.
Say it with your chest
Assertively express your opinion or statement.
With your chest
Reiterated emphasis on expressing oneself confidently.
Feel the weight of your words and what they mean
Recognize the impact of your words and their significance.
What you said causes pain
What you've spoken causes distress or hurt.
(Don't play the victim)
Admonishing against assuming the victim role.
Bringing forward past oppression
Bringing attention to historical mistreatment or discrimination.
And now I called you out, and now you're afraid
Now that I've confronted you, you're feeling fearful or anxious.
Feel my rage
Expressing intense anger or frustration.
