Blue October "Any Man In America" lyrics

Any Man In America

ListenI only know spending time awayI only know the truth is spokenBest when brutally, so honestlyI'll let you knowYou set the standards lyrically for meOne single middle fingerSay raise it upMy speech will always be freeLike Martin Luther KingYou had meaning to meSingle-handedly saving music, starving industryA hip hop legend with skin like invisible inkBlack even though he was whiter than meHe was the first to be colorlessSpeaking for all of usAnd you let us into your familyMother, father, brotherSister, wife, daughterDamn, right in front of me

That's when I miss my daughter desperatelyYour mocking bird puts dents in meWhile touring press and reliving my song "hate me"I was losing custodyI never even saw that shitHow she played meAnd planned and sought it fitTo turn that trick and financially she would benefitMy first and probably only Billboard hitWas gonna pay for my two year old's collegeI should have hid that shitSo she couldn't spend that shitIt took twenty years of workingJust to earn that shitNow word for wordI've listened, heardAnd I'm doneDone

[Chorus:]Like you don't knowYou act like you believe itThat you're in controlIt's just your legal system, thoughThey don't think about youNo, they don't care about youNow every man in America take back your control!You don't knowYou act like you believe itThat you're in controlIt's just your legal system, thoughThey don't think about itNo, they don't care about itNow every man in America take back your control!

So I kept my business quietJust like my lawyer saidAnd I tried to focusAll my anger in my work insteadI was succeeding at self reliantBut inside my soul is deadI had to be the sole providerBut not allowed to be the dadLiterally they took her from meLegally they did!They did!But I'm not a fucking bookSo fuck your book in Lincoln, I saidFuck the judgeFuck that countyFuck your family tooYeah, fuck everybody that took my baby girl, BlueI'm way too strongI work my ass off all day longAnd I'm gone for months at a timeAnd you keep sitting there and lyingBitching "Come back home"I hate you, hate you, GodAnd then you came back homeAnd filed for another fucking divorceI'm sick of cryingI'm sick of you insteadI'm not sick, or stuck in my head

Any other man in American can get screwed just like me

[Chorus]

You won't understand, probably never willListen slowly I'll let you know the dealLying ass play the judge with your crying assYou had your nose wide open when you saw the cashGrimy bitch growing tired of you trying shitWomen run the courts, men provide the chipsWell eat up bitch until you had enough bitchBut take my kidsYou can kiss both my nuts bitchTelling lies 'cause daddy's always on the roadBut you're the one fucking like a groupie at a showMoney hungrySo you try to take my youngest from meYou, a dummy honeyI'll chase you across the countryBring the drama to you mama and you mama's mama'Cause we all know you're chasing after commasCouple checks, few houses and Gucci blousesYou changing dicks like you changing outfitsConstitution nowadays got the daddies losingLots of fathers getting fucked like prostitution

[Chorus 2x]
