Are You Man Enough? -from the movie "Shaft in Africa" starring Richard Roundtree

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
Next thing ya know, there ain't no trace of you
And this I betchasome people lose, and some folks win
It's a matter of what they do

Are you man enoughbig 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, just around the bend
Don't ya think you should be there?
Are you man enoughwhen the goin's rough?
Is it in your heart to care?

There's no pretending it goes away
With every step that you takeyou pay your dues
And I ain't lyin'
You got to struggle to see the light
How someone's lookin' to steal your right to choose
And don't stop tryin'
It's like a jungle outside the door,
And it's keepin' you so confused

Are you man enoughbig and bad enough?
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries,
Are you gonna be around?

Gotta keep your eye on the passers-by
Better watch your step!
'Cause ya 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 enoughbig 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, just around the bend
Don't ya think you should be there?
Are you man enoughwhen the goin' get's rough?
Is it in your heart to care?

Are you man enoughbig and bad enough? (Are you big & bad enough?)
Are you gonna let 'em shoot ya down?
When the evil flies, and your brother cries,
Are you gonna be around?
