[00:00.16]Lyrics by：Daniel Nwosu Jr./Alex Nour
[00:00.39]Composed by：Daniel Nwosu Jr./Alex Nour
[00:00.63]I can't hide myself
[00:04.20]I don't expect you to understand
[00:07.91]I just hope I can explain
[00:11.44]What it's like to be a man
[00:15.02]It's a lonely road
[00:18.64]And they don't care 'bout what you know
[00:22.75]It's not 'bout how you feel
[00:25.45]But what you provide inside that home
[00:29.78]Yeah I know this life can really beat you down uh
[00:35.00]You wanna scream but you won't make a sound uh
[00:38.59]Got so much weight that you've been holdin'
[00:40.67]But won't show any emotion as a man that goes unspoken
[00:44.23]That we can't cry when life gets hard
[00:48.25]Unconditional love for women children and dogs
[00:52.27]We know that we just have to play our parts
[00:54.96]And don't nobody give a d**n about our broken hearts yeah
[00:59.83]As a man we gotta pave our way
[01:03.24]Our only function is to work and slave
[01:06.77]There's no respect for you if you ain't paid
[01:09.44]You're disregarded as a human and you can't complain
[01:13.41]And if you ever make it up and actually reach that place
[01:16.80]And find a woman that you love and give her your last name
[01:20.62]You'll feel the things that you provide is only why she stays
[01:23.99]And when you try to explain you'll say
[01:27.74]I can't hide myself
[01:31.37]I don't expect you to understand
[01:35.09]I just hope I can explain
[01:38.66]What it's like to be a man
[01:41.09]What it's like to be a man
[01:42.29]It's a lonely road
[01:44.25]It's a lonely road
[01:45.90]And they don't care 'bout what you know
[01:48.39]Care 'bout what you know
[01:50.05]It's not 'bout how you feel
[01:52.77]But what you provide inside that home
[01:56.85]Don't give up keep fightin'
[01:59.63]As a man our son is our horizon
[02:02.29]And our fathers' actions play a role and we end up like him
[02:05.93]So they can't let us see them hurt
[02:07.85]'Cause they'll embody what we do and start a generational curse
[02:11.52]No wonder most men are so depressed
[02:13.39]All the things that they can't express
[02:15.24]They go to war get thrown on the shelf
[02:16.86]Then go back to war with they mental health
[02:18.72]Then grab that bottle and ask for help
[02:20.65]Try to pull themselves out of hell
[02:22.49]Then fall back down and then realize
[02:24.19]That they gon' have to do it themselves
[02:26.07]It's the circle of life as a man you provide
[02:29.64]They don't know what you're worth 'til the day that you die
[02:33.27]And that's when they start cryin'
[02:35.94]Then move on to a man to confide in
[02:39.62]That's why we feel
[02:40.57]We can't hide ourselves
[02:44.16]We don't expect you to understand
[02:47.69]We just hope we can explain
[02:51.30]What it's like to be a man
[02:53.67]What it's like to be a man
[02:55.03]It's a lonely road
[02:57.01]It's a lonely road
[02:58.62]And you don't care 'bout what we know
[03:01.08]Care 'bout what we know
[03:02.70]It's not 'bout how we feel
[03:05.49]But what we provide inside that home
[03:09.25]Inside that home
[03:13.36]That home
[03:17.28]It's not 'bout how we feel
[03:19.67]But what we provide inside that home
[03:23.79]Inside that home
