Lyrics
There's not a street that you can walk
You got to watch just who you're talkin' to
They're out to get ya
Can't turn your back on a smilin' face (smilin' face)
Next thing ya know, there ain't no trace of you
And this I betcha
Some people win, and some folks lose
It's a matter of what they do
Are you man enough, big and bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna be around?
Someone needs a friend (needs a friend)
Around the bend (around the bend)
Don't ya think you should be there?
Are you man enough
When the goin's rough?
Is it in your heart to care?
There's no pretending it goes away
With every step that you take
You pay your dues and I ain't lyin'
You got to struggle to see the light (see the light)
Somebody lookin' to steal your right to choose
And they don't stop tryin'
It's like a jungle outside the door
And it's keepin' you so confused
Are you man enough?
(Big and bad enough?) Are you really bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down? (Down)
When the evil flies, and your brother cries (brother cries)
Are you gonna be around?
Gotta keep your eye on the passers-by
Gotta watch your step!
'Cause you never know where the knife will go
And they ain't missed yet!
The strong survive, they stay alive
They always cool
But that they never teach you in school
Are you man enough?
(Big and bad enough?) Are you really bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down? (Down)
When the evil flies, and your brother cries (brother cries)
Are you gonna be around?
And when needs a friend (needs a friend)
Around the bend (around the bend)
Don't ya think you should be there?
Are you man enough
When the goin' get's rough?
Is it in your heart to care?
Are you man enough
(Big and bad enough?) Are you really bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down? (Down)
When the evil flies, and your brother cries
Are you gonna stay around?
