First time I tried
first time I drunk
first time I had a girl
was the time for me to be a man
(to be a man)
to be a man
(to be a man)
to be a man.

First time I burnt it
lighting my will
I was free as forest fire
was the time for me to be a man.
(to be a man)
to be a man
(to be a man)
to be a man.

Oh, oh, oh
get your mind on my side
oh, oh, oh,
get it your thinking as I am
oh, oh, oh
all you have to learn
is how to be a man.
