Story Behind The Song

I was in fact raised to respect women and to support their equal treatment. My girlfriend told me about a time when she was living on a college campus close to a frat house, where she heard the exact comments made by "Steve" in the first verse. I built

takes two males from entirely different socioeconomic strata and shows a commonality between them which is hardly ever discussed (and not only in Hip Hop)- misogyny. At the end, I enter the picture as a supporter of feminism/women's rights, and I act in

Lyrics

Steve's an exectuive- he's powerful wealthy and busy
rose quickly through the ranks but he didn't get dizzy. Why?
He was used to getting his own way
it was daddy's connects and not grades that got his MBA.
A frat boy- female students would pass him,
sitting on the porch, he would ask them: "How's it going?"
Grinning, "suck it Bitch" under his breath,
rumors, never proven that he once strangled one to death.
A boy and a girl, a big fine home
plus a beautiful wife that Steve never lets travel alone,
plus she can't pick up the phone
"I just pushed you down the stairs a little, you weren't thrown":
Cocktail parties, they entertain guests
the boys from the office are checking her breasts
"yea she's got a nice rack", Steve has to confess
when they're gone, "why the fuck you have to wear that dress?"
It's odd- nobody ever thinks to inquire.. of the wife, why are
you always rocking dark sunglasses, are you shy or, trying to hide
dark circles you could see from the side after she catch fire?
What about the kids: he's out of control, clowning
why's the little girl always frowning?
He says, "Can I help it if I love them all madly?"
Yeah- STEVE IS A MAN BEHAVING BADLY.

Steve is a Man Behaving Badly
