One thing my father lived to teach me, he taught me
That nothing good will come easy, he said
When things aren't good enough
And things start getting tough
Defend yourself when you're right
There's times you just gotta fight

Because a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
Stand and hold your ground
Never let them back you down

It's the same old situation
Everybody's living in competition
You can see it everywhere
Most people just don't care
Sometimes you gotta
Take a little action
And show the what youre made of

Because a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
No one said it was easy
In fact it's hard as hell

Because a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
Stand and hold your ground
Never let them back you down

With every breath you take
Every move you make
You're bound to make some mistakes
But that's how you learn
What a man's gotta do, yeah

Yes, a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
No one said it was easy
In fact it's hard as hell

But a man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
And trust your heart
You'll know what to do
You're a man
