Wax - I Ain't A Real Man Lyrics
[Hook:]
I ain't a real man, real men work
Digging, digging, shoveling dirt
The kind of work, that when you get home you're back hurt
Blood stains cover your shirt, that's real work
Digging, digging, shoveling dirt
The kind of work, that when you get home you're back hurt
Blood stains cover your shirt, that's real work
[Verse 1:]
Rapping and rhyming, that it isn't grinding
What's grinding, the cats that were trapped
In the mine when the mine cap sized over top of them
And cats couldn't find them
Little kids asking the firemen if dad was alive
A little shelter and food to eat
So he traveled deep in the sweltering grueling heat
Moving his feet til' he a mile below
Knowing some workers died there a little while ago
No es nada, people gotta do what they gotta
A man gets a little but "The Man" gets a lotta
Nothing proper, never got an opportunity
To get a bachelor's or a docto-
Rate, pop'll get the opposite
Fire in the hole
Never had a silver spoon so he's mining for the gold
And eventually it gets to a designer and it's sold
And it's worn around the neck of someone rhyming and we're told
That they got that shit grinding
I don't get that
The dude's grinding climbed in with a pickaxe
And I ain't hating if you spit raps
I'm just saying I admit facts
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
Backstage I feel nervousness
Hoping that the show reach perfectness
But it feels kind of purposeless
When I think of motherfuckers in the armed services
And man it ain't even right
That what they make in a month, I'm a make it tonight
And when they come home, they gon' wake up late in the night
What they saw, ain't no shaking the sight
I mean stage fright's something I can deal with
A grenade fight fucker that's some real shit
They say the stage light's bright but it's actually kinda dark
When it's placed next to your newly missing body part
Or the bullet that hit your friend and stopped his heart
You're eighteen, your life's about to start
But some come home, people like "Who are you man?"
Some come home and they wife got a new man
Some come home and they life fall into shambles
Now they're just trying to keep a soup can full
You can see 'em up in any town
Uncle Sam don't pay per diem in the later rounds
He got a cardboard box sign
"Iraq Vet in need of far more boxed wine"
With his family gone
And some judgmental shit ain't what your man be on
Cause I'm a still look at dude as a champion
We get paid to chant these songs, it's stupid
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
This is for my DC cats that would sell me a 20 sack
And the migrant workers sending money back
To the fat plumbers who invented plumbers crack
Put your hands up, where you motherfuckers at
Fuck a trucker hat, where the real truckers at
At a rest stop cause they wanna take a fucking nap
Electricians, don't get fucking zapped
Nobody better than y'all just because they rap
To the people work at MacDonalds
Who wanna go to the corporate headquarters and smack Ronald
Across his face, I hope that stupid ass company falls from grace
Ayo, McFuck, the McRib
They can, McSuck, my McDick, check it out
McFuck, the McRib
They can, McSuck, my McDick

"Foods ready!" 3:54
God bless our Veterans

Still banging this ish brudda #Trackjumpas #Bristol #Pennslyvania
This is important
whos watching this is 2019
From the US Army to a truck driver, yea I can relate to this
Someone needs to do a reaction video to this and get him more views and fans etc
honestly
let your money work
I’m a marine. Now an hvac technician. This is my favorite song of all time. The flow, the rhymes, the real ness. Omg I have listened to this song thousands of times but not in the past couple years. It’s going back into the rotation. Love all your other work too especially live man
2019 gang???
As a 16 year old musician who wants to turn music into an actual career in the future and faces negative comments about it all the time this songs speaks to me a lot and it reminds me to always be proud of what I do and never let other people's opinions get to me ! Thanks WAX
fuk wAx
man I kind of don't fuck with the message of this tbh...
he says he's not dissn people who rhyme but he's basically calling that shit not real work for the whole song...
btw all I do is lift heavy crates all day I guess that would be the "real man work" category (he said it had to make ur back hurt lol right?), but I don't feel I'm not still working just as hard when I go to write raps.
Ever American should hear this song.
"Some come home and they life fall in two shambles, now they just tryna keep a soup can full.
You can see him up in any town, Uncle Sam don't pay per diem in the later rounds"
This whole track is gold. Wax, you are always good for lyrical inspiration.
time to time i get back to this songs
2019 gang where yall at
2020 Wax Gang here!
amazing . u just blow my fkn mind again and again
Young construction worker here to salute you for making an anthem for real men ✊
Trump💗
This song never gets old..
hey wax.. just wondering if you support President TRUMP.. GOTTA LOVE TRUMP.. HE WANTS WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY..ALL AMERICANS
of course he doesn't lol did you not listen to the song? Trump fucked over thousands and real men in the midwest
Still one of the best songs I've ever heard.
That staccato bass&horn layered together is tasty
This shit gets me through my workday, thanks wax.
get in there wax my fucking g 😂
Dammmm !!!
I gotta thank you for writing this song wax. Spent all day 150 feet in the air dangling from a crane boom. Chill with some beers in the shade at night thankful for this kinda shit.
Thank you Wax! The little man doesn't get enough cred. You should do more with Watsky!
oh shit
You do work it tho WaX
straight skillz. i had no idea. i'm late, but yo... bigups for days.
Ain't no shit. Real men work till their back gets thrown out and they get laid up for a week before they can even think of going back to work.
2018 and still bumping Wax from 2012 lol when this man gonna blow up?
The beat is a lot different then what he’s done before it seems like and the content is real asf. I really like this
Fuckin' A. Wax is the realest mufuker ever. When it comes to rappers anyway.
Is that fucked up that I say Chris Jenner
yeah that was the dopest, illest shit ever
Copyrighted?
Anyone else still bumpin wax?
wax needs to do a trump diss!!! it would be waaay more fire than eminems
WaX speakin some truth out here! Love him.
Bro make more of this style! We need more music like this . Just straight up real shit instead of music these days where all rappers sound the same and talk about the same shit "money and how rich they are" because no one gives a fuck ya know .
A grenade fight fucker that's some real shit.
Such a good hook!
My favorite WAX song.
sick, but he's reading
crazy skill level
This dude is a fucking beast. True MC
@waxandherbalt can you put this version on iTunes?
HATERZ (WAX) R NO GOOD FOR NOTHING. THEY JUST KEEP ON HATING UWAX
Not gonna lie. Best rapper alive.
"Some come home and they wife got a new man." Way to hit close to home on that one, shit.
I love Wax but not feeling the hook.. at all. Something about it just took me out of my groove. Just to be clear this man is nothing but straight fire!
im feeling it.
TheDrip50291 I'm feelin it too. dope track the whole way through
Anybody know where the instrumental for this can be found?
@***** Is that a website? or...?
@***** Smartass, lol. Thanks, bro.
I just heard this yesterday. it may be my new favorite song.
Damn this was in 2012, where have I been.
I still love this friggin song. Spit the truth Wax. :) His freestyle raps riding around in the car blows me away everytime.
Wax is the realist dude out there.
this song is deep
Your rhymes are the shit Wax, keep it up.
awesome! wax is amazing!
damn he goes off on this one 740k views??
Underated af
Gerenzo not at all hes just hasnt reached the top yet
Who's underrating him? more like undiscovered.
I wanna see a wax trump diss freestyle. it would be easy more fire then eminems
This song is where its at. Keep making like this wax!!!!!!
Mcfuck the McRib
i swear to God i knew this track was gonna be crazy 30 secs into it
yo this is fresh as fuck
Thank you! This is dope!
Deep and Tight
fire! I BEEN banging this on the daily
respect due
Thank you ERB for introducing me to this cat... damn.. this dude with Mos Def could bring pure fire
Yo Wax, you need to quit the goofy songs and start kicking some more thought provoking fire like this. This is your future son.. run with it...
you must be fairly new to his music
badbadleroybrown you can say what you like, but I'm sure wax will still spit fury once again
his thing is he can make all that shit and sing and play guitar. he is versatile af
badbadleroybrown we like the goofy songs too bitch don’t tell him what his future is you goofy ass
...DAYUUM! I love this rap!
He certainly can spit, write too.. Underrated af imo
this is fire
Wax is SO UNDER RATED. THIS WORLD IS SO FU*KED WHEN IT FAILS TO RECOGNIZE TRUE TALENT!!! McSuck my McDeeak
His voice and how he says certain words makes this song so dope (at least in my opinion)
Kogz ... drown in spit 3....look this up ....that was crap
i mean so many people worship these celebs like the kardashians but really all it is is an illusion.
damn this is good
can i get this instrumental!
What are his best albums/mixtapes?
all of them
Damn Wax , this is DOPE. For real.
haha why even rap anymore. this dudes covering everything.
This sounded like some shit I'd hear on Bobbito and Stretch in 1992. Really dope.
erb brought me here
yoo wax your underrated, I've been listening for years before you put out red and limosuine, i just want to say that your inspiring your what got me started. you and eom are putting in work keep it at playa, don't forget it aint about the dough or the deal its about that feeling in your soul that you feel when that little feeling in your soul becomes real.
no tard, he is NOT saying to 'fuck being the military' nor is he saying 'fuck being a LABORER (english US spelling)' because of the brutality in either one - what he is trying to point out is that our society rewards the famous, the celebrity, the real heroes are the blue collar workers, and the soldiers that give life and limb for your freedom , ANYWAYS, i could go on but its not going to matter - just don't leave comments that trivialize what he is standing for behind the mic - its much much more than u can perceive is all i can tell ya....fuck.
Exactly. This is what separates rap as an artform from just making words rhyme. Wax is dope.
youre great for that comment
discosnrodeos Well fucking said my friend.
ThrillseekersTV thank u friend!
Wax nice to hear about you :) you sound cool man big up :)
