The song addresses common negative behaviors of men including having multiple children with different women, not providing financial support, drinking excessively and becoming violent, neglecting their partner by pursuing other women, and making excuses rather than taking responsibility for their actions. It suggests that confused men should reflect on how to improve their behavior so as not to lose the woman in their life, who would be better off moving on to "someone better".

1. BE A MAN
Why does a man do something crazy
Like have 3 different women and 3 different babies
Why does a man work everyday a 9 to 5
Then tells his woman he doesn’t have a dime
Why does a man stay out drinking all night
Then comes home the next morning and want to fight
(CHORUS)
For the man who is confuse you see
What his behavior should or shouldn’t be
That woman you are with will help you solve your dilemma
By moving on to someone better
Why does a man constantly call you a bitch
When he clearly knows what your name is
Why does a man go through life without a care
And always expect for that woman to be right there
Why does a man stray away from home
In search of something that he knows is wrong
(CHORUS)
For the man who is confuse you see
What his behavior should or shouldn’t be
That woman you are with will help you solve your dilemma
By moving on to someone better
Why does a man make up excuses for his faults
Disregarding everything he was ever taught
Why does a man take the risk of losing it all
By constantly having his back against the wall
(CHORUS)
For the man who is confuse you see
What his behavior should or shouldn’t be
That woman you are with will help you solve your dilemma
By moving on to someone better.
