Can't Raise A Man

1. Listen
He got older, but never grew
For his life he can't tell the truth
How to love he ain't got a clue
Playing games like he'll never lose you.

Try to talk to him, can't get through
Every day he's a different dude
These are the signs of a grown ass boy
Better run for the hills, I'm just trying to keep it real.

[Chorus:]
You can't raise a man, he's already grown, what you gonna do?
You wonder why he acts like a boy
If he wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gonna change nobody
If he don't wanna, you can't make nobody
'Cause you can't raise a man, no, no.

2. Coming home any time at night, expecting you to let it ride
How many tears are you gonna cry
Playing games like he'll never lose you
You know that the love is changed
How many times he called you out your name
These are the signs of a grown ass boy
Better run for the hills, I'm just keeping it real.

3. Gonna take more than a miracle to change him, just let him go
Tell me when will you decide to do better with your life
If his momma couldn't do it what makes you think
You can train a boy to be a man, it's too late.
Better off letting him go
No matter how hard you try you can't raise.
