Anthony B Man Got To Do
[Intro]
"Yes baby, I know you love me, but love 'pon empty pocket and hungry belly can't work. All I need from a woman is a little overstanding, a little helping hand. That's why me sing my song right now."
[Hook]
I don't want to lose you, lady
I don't plan to hurt my baby
I don't want to see my woman cry
Bills got to pay, my lady
Not no if, but, or maybe
I don't think you should ask the reason why
[Verse 1]
Yo, everyday woman get 'pon the pressure, the tension
Man go out the street ah try get they name mentioned
I try push myself to the next dimension
My lyrics, yo, fi go write the version
I'm a lazy man, fi sit down, a woman me depend 'pon
All me want my woman to do, overstand
Hey, no pressure, the tension
[Bridge]
When me say
A man got to do what a man got to do
Give me the helping hand, make me pull through
Man got to do what a man got to do
Take it easier, boo
Man got to do what a man got to do
I'm sorry if you don't have a clue
Man got to do what a man got to do
So me bust up
[Hook]
I don't want to lose you, lady
I don't plan to hurt my baby
I don't want to see my woman cry
But bills got to pay, my lady
Not no if, but, nor maybe
I don't think you should ask the reason why
[Verse 2]
Woman, say me come fi wipe away your stress and the load
Wonder everyday why man get 'pon the road
They'll try a little thing fi great sufferation cold, yo
See don't nothing ah gwan, you gwan ball out
Care how you in love, me know you gwan fall out
Would you like a snake in the grass while you crawl out?
That's why- me have to go out, me have to go out and do a thing, you hear?
Cause
[Hook]
I don't want to lose my lady
I don't plan to hurt my baby
I don't want to see my woman cry
But bills got to pay, my lady
Not no if, but, nor maybe
I don't think you should ask the reason why
[Verse 3]
Woman say why man always come late at nighttime?
Ah seek them ah seek, ah seek them ah seek
One day them will find
Fi better your life, and better mine
This is a song, is not for the punchline, see me ah say?
Alright, I know woman alone, man act ah rude and ah look
Remember, without me go, then no food can cook
The school youth, them want pencil and book
My whole family ah me them depend on, call me a "man," you overstand?
Hey
[Hook]
I don't want to lose my lady
I don't plan to hurt my baby
I don't want to see my woman cry
But bills got to pay, my lady
Not no if, but, nor maybe
I don't think you should ask the reason why
