Lyrics
0:00I can't hide myself
0:04I don't expect you to understand
0:07I just hope
0:08I can explain
0:11What it's like to be a man
0:15It's a lonely road
0:18And they don't care 'bout what you know
0:22It's not 'bout how you feel
0:25But what you provide inside that home
0:30Being a man is what you make it
0:33You can't always live up to expectation
0:36You try to please everybody
0:39While you struggle so you fake it
0:41And end up out of balance compromising situations
0:44As a good man
0:46Do what he should man
0:48I give everything he has
0:49And do everything he could man
0:51You might find yourself feeling all alone
0:55Inside a house you built
0:56That you don't recognize as home
0:59And that's what my told daddy me
1:01And I'll tell my son same
1:03Now that I'm older I relate
1:05And I actually feel his pain
1:07He never criedhe might have lied
1:08But he did not complain
1:10And he said son
1:11One day you'll have to do the same
1:14I get emotional
1:15When I stop
1:16And think and I look around
1:18Beyond the county lines of my small town
1:21I think about all the men out there
1:23Who feel like I do now
1:25Who are screaming on the inside
1:26But won't ever make a sound
1:28I can't hide myself
1:31I don't expect you to understand
1:35I just hope
1:36I can explain
1:38What it's like to be a man
1:41What it's like to be a man
1:42It's a lonely road
1:44It's a lonely road
1:45And they don't care 'bout what you know
1:48Care 'bout what you know
1:50It's not 'bout how you feel
1:52But what you provide inside that home
1:56Don't give up
1:58Keep fightin'
1:59As a man our son is our horizon
2:02And our fathers' actions play a role
2:04And we end up like him
2:05So they can't let us see them hurt
2:07'Cause we'll embody what they do
2:09And start a generational curse
2:11No wonder most men are so depressed
2:13All the things that they can't express
2:15They go to war get thrown on the shelf
2:17Then go back to war with they mental health
2:18Then grab that bottle
2:19And ask for help
2:20Try to pull themselves out of hell
2:22Then fall back down and then realize
2:24That they gon' have to do it themselves
2:26It's the circle of life
2:28As a man you provide
2:29They don't know what you're worth
2:31'Til the day that you die
2:33And that's when they start cryin'
2:35Then move on to a man to confide in
2:39That's why we feel
2:40We can't hide ourselves
2:42We can't hide ourselves
2:44We don't expect you to understand
2:47Understand
2:47We just hope we can explain
2:50We can explain
2:51What it's like to be a man
2:53What it's like to be a man
2:55It's a lonely road
2:56It's a lonely road
2:58And you don't care 'bout what we know
3:01Care 'bout what we know
3:02It's not 'bout how we feel
3:05How we feel
3:06We provide inside that home
3:09Inside that home
3:13That home
3:14That home
3:17It's not 'bout how we feel
3:19Not 'bout how we feel
3:20We provide inside that home
3:23Inside that home
I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home Being a man is what you make it You can't always live up to expectation You try to please everybody While you struggle so you fake it And end up out of balance compromising situations As a good man Do what he should man I give everything he has And do everything he could man You might find yourself feeling all alone Inside a house you built That you don't recognize as home And that's what my told daddy me And I'll tell my son same Now that I'm older I relate And I actually feel his pain He never criedhe might have lied But he did not complain And he said son One day you'll have to do the same I get emotional When I stop And think and I look around Beyond the county lines of my small town I think about all the men out there Who feel like I do now Who are screaming on the inside But won't ever make a sound I can't hide myself I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can explain What it's like to be a man What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road It's a lonely road And they don't care 'bout what you know Care 'bout what you know It's not 'bout how you feel But what you provide inside that home Don't give up Keep fightin' As a man our son is our horizon And our fathers' actions play a role And we end up like him So they can't let us see them hurt 'Cause we'll embody what they do And start a generational curse No wonder most men are so depressed All the things that they can't express They go to war get thrown on the shelf Then go back to war with they mental health Then grab that bottle And ask for help Try to pull themselves out of hell Then fall back down and then realize That they gon' have to do it themselves It's the circle of life As a man you provide They don't know what you're worth 'Til the day that you die And that's when they start cryin' Then move on to a man to confide in That's why we feel We can't hide ourselves We can't hide ourselves We don't expect you to understand Understand We just hope we can explain We can explain What it's like to be a man What it's like to be a man It's a lonely road It's a lonely road And you don't care 'bout what we know Care 'bout what we know It's not 'bout how we feel How we feel We provide inside that home Inside that home That home That home It's not 'bout how we feel Not 'bout how we feel We provide inside that home Inside that home
