When you realize
That making love to one woman
One hundred times
Is more fulfilling
Than making love to
One hundred women one time
Then, you step into manhood
When you choose a woman
For who she is and you realize
Beauty fades
And that a woman who loves the Lord
Should be cherished and praised
Then, you step into manhood
When you fall
To your knees when your woman
Has you stressed
Rather than raising
Your voice or your fists
Then, you step into manhood
When you ralize spending time with your kids
To give your woman rest
Is not babysitting
But your responsibility
As a father
Then, you step into manhood
When you get and maintain
A job with little pay
Just to keep your woman
From checking the mailbox
Every day
Then, you step into manhood
When you get high
Off of the love of Jesus
And you leave the pipes
And the bottles alone
When you don't run
From your problems head on
Then, you step into manhood
When you realize crying
Doesn't make you weak
And you learn to turn
The other cheek
Then, you step into manhood
So step, my brother,
Step
