Living like everyone else makes you apart of the picture but choosing to stand out makes you the artist in front of the easel.


There ain't too many

There ain't too many men that stick around after an erection
Or have a desire to make sure his kids have the well needed protection

There ain't too many men that'll go that extra mile
Put in an extra 10 hours of work to take his family on a trip just to see them smile

There ain't to many men who care to kiss there son or daughters heads at night
Or when their child wakes up crying from nightmares he is there to hold them tight

There ain't too many men that could sit and run the head of their table
But all they care about is ranks and body count and other worthless labels

There ain't to many men that wake up on time
To see that his absence is gonna destroy his kids mind

There ain't too many

There ain't too many mothers that understand just because of that useless man leaves
It does not and will not make her blessing cease

There aren't too many mothers that are wrapped tight enough to know
That they're their only children's lovers

There's not enough mothers trying to go out and find jobs
Make sure they be that man and women anytime when they hear a cry, a scream, down to the most silent sob

There's not enough fathers taking the lead of the family being the backbone, or ace of spades, for his children's mother

There is not unity in the family household where the father and mother feel the need to comfort each other
Their ain't to many
