I used to be a man
The man who would “party”
The man who would have a good time
The man who just didn’t care,
But now I have a kid.
I used to be man
The man with a plan
The man with the “stuff”
The man with friends,
But now I have a kid.
I used to be a man
The man where everyone, was
The man where the noise, was
The man where excitement, was,
But now I have a kid.
The stench of a child roams the air
But I feel more alive now than I have ever felt,
I used to be man
But now I have a kid
And now I am more.
