Princeton Ave

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 crack of the alleys college park made you

Man enough to see man enough to see there ain't a goddamn man in me

Take me back to a date before I was hostile and learned to hate

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 till 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 broads

A drifter living life without God

You've done it now you planted a seed

Now the storm inside you it swallows her

And I know life can be so strange but I know I can make a change

I'ma 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 f*cked 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

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 crack of the alleys college park made you

Man enough to see man enough to see there ain't a goddamn man in me
