Lyrics Issues – Princeton Ave
Text:
It’s time for a change! This generation… this generation needs a hero!
What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love, tough love
What is a man, who can’t take a stand for his daughter, and calls it tough love, tough love
Your roots grow in the cracks of the alleys, college park made you
Take me back to a date before I was hostile and learned to hate
You promised you would never become,
You promised you would never become,
A storm a blackout replicating the one
The thunder inside him became your life
And you called him your best friend ’til the day you were nine
What is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love, tough love
What is a man, who can’t take a stand for his daughter, and calls it tough love, tough love
Hotel rooms, Bourbon and Bronx, a drifter living life without God
You’ve done it now, you planted a seed. Now the storm inside you–it swallows her
Baby love, alright
And I know life can be so strange
But I know I can make a change
I’mma wipe away the clouds for ya
I’m gonna be around for ya,
I’m gonna paint the town for ya,
I’m gonna make a promise to give you everything you want and need,
But she fucked up now, ’cause she’s bearing another mouth you can’t feed
Cease production of a destructive breed,
Seek help ’cause your pride only makes you weak
And what is a man, who lays a hand on his lover, and calls it tough love, tough love
What is a man, who can’t take a stand for his daughter (can’t take a stand), and calls it tough love, tough love
Your roots grow in the cracks of the alleys, college park made you
Man enough to see, man enough to see, there ain’t a goddamn man in me
(There ain’t a goddamn man in me)
