[00:01.000][Chorus]
[00:01.604]I can't hide myself
[00:04.186]I don't expect you to understand
[00:07.766]I just hope I can explain
[00:11.500]What it's like to be a man
[00:15.035]It's a lonely road
[00:18.734]And they don't care 'bout what you know
[00:22.886]It's not 'bout how you feel
[00:26.185]But what you provide inside that home
[00:29.729]
[00:30.029][Verse 1]
[00:30.300]Yeah, I know this life can really beat you down, uh
[00:34.871]You wanna scream but you won't make a sound, uh
[00:38.253]Got so much weight that you've been holdin'
[00:41.794]But won't show any emotion, as a man, that goes unspoken
[00:44.806]That we can't cry when life gets hard
[00:48.779]Unconditional love for women, children, and dogs
[00:51.750]We know that we just have to play our parts
[00:55.202]And don't nobody give a damn about our broken hearts, yeah
[00:58.763]
[00:59.046][Pre-Chorus]
[00:59.422]As a man, we gotta pave our way
[01:02.768]Our only function is to work and slave
[01:06.315]There's no respect for you if you ain't paid
[01:09.860]You're disregarded as a human and you can't complain
[01:13.323]And if you ever make it up and actually reach that place
[01:16.794]And find a woman that you love and give her your last name
[01:20.385]You'll feel the things that you provide is only why she stays
[01:24.038]And when you try to explain, you'll say
[01:27.653][Chorus]
[01:27.998]I can't hide myself
[01:31.668]I don't expect you to understand
[01:35.004]I just hope I can explain
[01:38.617]What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
[01:42.364]It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
[01:45.690]And they don't care 'bout what you know (Care 'bout what you know)
[01:49.637]It's not 'bout how you feel
[01:52.923]But what you provide inside that home
[01:56.437]
[01:56.879][Verse 2]
[01:57.245]Don't give up, keep fightin'
[01:59.533]As a man, our son is our horizon
[02:01.215]And our fathers' actions play a role and we end up like him
[02:05.978]So they can't let us see them hurt
[02:07.896]'Cause they'll embody what we do and start a generational curse
[02:11.358]No wonder most men are so depressed
[02:13.246]All the things that they can't express
[02:14.936]They go to war, get thrown on the shelf
[02:16.766]Then go back to war with they mental health
[02:18.632]Then grab that bottle and ask for help
[02:20.484]Try to pull themselves out of hell
[02:22.196]Then fall back down and then realize
[02:24.067]That they gon' have to do it themselves
[02:25.723]
[02:26.044][Pre-Chorus]
[02:26.349]It's the circle of life, as a man, you provide
[02:29.386]They don't know what you're worth 'til the day that you die
[02:33.023]And that's when they start cryin'
[02:34.884]Then move on to a man to confide in
[02:38.961]That's why we feel
[02:40.364][Chorus]
[02:40.707]We can't hide ourselves
[02:43.791]We don't expect you to understand
[02:47.642]We just hope we can explain
[02:51.358]What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
[02:55.199]It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
[02:58.496]And you don't care 'bout what we know (Care 'bout what we know)
[03:02.625]It's not 'bout how we feel
[03:06.101]But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)
[03:09.877]That home
[03:17.085]It's not 'bout how we feel
[03:20.828]But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)
