"Good Man" lyrics
A harmless man is not a good man
No, a good man is a dangerous man
That practices self-discipline
Young man, are you listenin'?
I've been a poor man
When all I had was my last name
And it ain't fancy
But it's mine just the same
If you'd asked me
I wouldn't have changed a thing
Ain't that strange?
I've been a rich man
And I've seen wealth untold and I've seen fancy
It's something to behold, let me tell you
It ain't good for the soul, fire melts gold
Rich or poor, all roads end the same
Not doing nothing about it
Don't exempt you from the flame
A harmless man is not a good man
No good man is a dangerous man
That practices self-discipline
Young man, are you listenin'?
Only speak the truth to you for you
I've bled these lessons learned
Will you believe or will you burn?
I'm an old man
And I pray I make it there that I've left behind me
My awards and my affairs are all in order
Sure as you're sittin' right there in that chair
You're goin' look back
And see memories on a shelf and some were happy
Some you're mad as hell but just remember
Each conversation you've had with yourself
Rich or poor, all roads end the same
Not doing nothing about it, don't exempt you from the flame
A harmless man is not a good man
No, a good man is a dangerous man
That practices self-discipline
Young man, are you listenin'?
I only speak the truth to you
For you I bled these lessons learned
Will you believe or will you burn?
It's okay to take the long way to get home
The harder way comes easy when it's all you've ever known
Harmless man is not a good man
No, a good man is a dangerous man that practices self-discipline
Young man, are you listenin'
Only speak the truth to you, for you I've bled these lessons learned
Game of life you play a dangerous game, you'll pay a heavy price to play
You'll make mistakes that you can't fix
Young man, are you listenin'?
Someday soon, you'll be the man you'll see when you take your turn
A harmless man is not a good man
No, a good man is a dangerous man that practices self-discipline
Young man, are you listenin'?
I only speak the truth to you
For you I bled these lessons learned
Will you believe or will you burn?
No, a good man is a dangerous man
That practices self-discipline
Young man, are you listenin'?
I've been a poor man
When all I had was my last name
And it ain't fancy
But it's mine just the same
If you'd asked me
I wouldn't have changed a thing
Ain't that strange?
I've been a rich man
And I've seen wealth untold and I've seen fancy
It's something to behold, let me tell you
It ain't good for the soul, fire melts gold
Rich or poor, all roads end the same
Not doing nothing about it
Don't exempt you from the flame
A harmless man is not a good man
No good man is a dangerous man
That practices self-discipline
Young man, are you listenin'?
Only speak the truth to you for you
I've bled these lessons learned
Will you believe or will you burn?
I'm an old man
And I pray I make it there that I've left behind me
My awards and my affairs are all in order
Sure as you're sittin' right there in that chair

And see memories on a shelf and some were happy
Some you're mad as hell but just remember

Not doing nothing about it, don't exempt you from the flame
A harmless man is not a good man
No, a good man is a dangerous man
