Every now and then you gotta take it on the chin

And gotta turn the other cheek

But then there's times your old stubborn pride

Don't back down so easily And you got no choice but to let your voice

Be heard and hold your ground

And that's the point that he'll get the point

And you'll probably back down But if he bolts up and steps across that line

You gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes Man, I'll be the first one here to call you crazy

If you let me catch you cussin' and akin to roughin' up a lady

And God forbid that anybody mess with mine

You gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes Yeah, I let it slide when the liquored up guy

Asked me, "Boy, what you lookin' at?"

And I kept my cool when the reckless fool

Put a dent in my Cadillac And I don't care if my long hair

Draws stares the way it does

As long as you ain't throwin' sticks and stones

You'd probably be alright 'cause I'll take the high road if I can out of a bind

But you gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes Man, I'll be the first one here to call you crazy

If you let me catch you cussin' and akin to roughin' up a lady

And God forbid that anybody mess with mine

You gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes Man, I'll be the first one here to call you crazy

If you let me catch you cussin' and akin to roughin' up a lady

And God forbid that anybody mess with that little girl of mine

You gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes

You gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes Hmm, that's right

Yeah, you gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes
