From Boys to Men
From Boys to Men
Some boys do,
Some boys don't.
Some boys did but
now they won't.
Some boys say
they never did.
Who the f*ck they
trying to kid.
Because the harder you push them, the stronger they deny it.
But they don't argue with themselves
when they're home alone in bed at night.
Some boys actually
never did. So tell me:
just what's normal
for a kid?
