[00:00.632]I can't hide myself
[00:04.145]I don't expect you to understand
[00:07.911]I just hope I can explain
[00:11.427]What it's like to be a man
[00:15.201]It's a lonely road
[00:18.708]And they don't care 'bout what you know
[00:22.725]It's not 'bout how you feel
[00:25.486]But what you provide inside that home
[00:30.005]Yeah, I know this life can really beat you down, uh
[00:35.278]You wanna scream but you won't make a sound, uh
[00:38.791]Got so much weight that you've been holdin'
[00:41.553]But won't show any emotion, as a man, that goes unspoken
[00:44.817]That we can't cry when life gets hard
[00:48.583]Unconditional love for women, children and dogs
[00:52.349]We know that we just have to play our parts
[00:55.364]And don't nobody give a damn about our broken hearts, yeah
[01:00.136]As a man, we gotta pave our way
[01:03.149]Our only function is to work and slave
[01:06.916]There's no respect for you if you ain't paid
[01:09.679]You're disregarded as a human and you can't complain
[01:13.446]And if you ever make it up and actually reach that place
[01:17.213]And find a woman that you love and give her your last name
[01:20.729]You'll feel the things that you provide is only why she stays
[01:24.496]And when you try to explain, you'll say
[01:28.011]I can't hide myself
[01:31.526]I don't expect you to understand
[01:35.042]I just hope I can explain
[01:38.808]What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
[01:42.575]It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
[01:46.091]And they don't care 'bout what you know (Care 'bout what you know)
[01:50.109]It's not 'bout how you feel
[01:52.871]But what you provide inside that home
[01:56.889]Don't give up, keep fightin'
[01:59.652]As a man, our son is our horizon
[02:02.413]And our fathers' actions play a role and we end up like him
[02:06.682]So they can't let us see them hurt
[02:08.189]'Cause they'll embody what we do and start a generational curse
[02:11.896]No wonder most men are so depressed
[02:13.654]All the things that they can't express
[02:15.412]They go to war, get thrown on the shelf
[02:16.918]Then go back to war with they mental health
[02:18.926]Then grab that bottle and ask for help
[02:21.435]Try to pull themselves out of hell
[02:22.690]Then fall back down and then realize
[02:24.447]That they gon' have to do it themselves
[02:26.204]It's the circle of life, as a man, you provide
[02:29.718]They don't know what you're worth 'til the day that you die
[02:33.483]And that's when they start cryin'
[02:35.993]Then move on to a man to confide in
[02:39.761]That's why we feel
[02:40.765]We can't hide ourselves
[02:44.280]We don't expect you to understand
[02:48.297]We just hope we can explain
[02:51.561]What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)
[02:55.075]It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
[02:58.840]And you don't care 'bout what we know (Care 'bout what we know)
[03:02.858]It's not 'bout how we feel
[03:05.621]But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)
[03:13.655]That home
[03:17.422]It's not 'bout how we feel
[03:20.185]But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)
