Dax_-_To_Be_A_Man

[00:03.42] I can't hide myself

[00:11.41] I don't expect you to understand

[00:15.40] I just hope I can explain

[00:18.84] What it's like to be a man

[00:22.85] It's a lonely road

[00:26.04] And they don't care 'bout what you know

[00:30.02] It's not 'bout how you feel

[00:32.94] But what you provide inside that home

[00:37.19] Yeah

[00:38.78] I know this life can really beat you down

[00:42.51] You wanna scream but you won't make a sound

[00:45.95] Got so much weight that you've been holding

[00:48.61] But won't show any emotion, as a man it goes unspoken

[00:51.80] That we can't cry when life gets hard

[00:55.52] Unconditional love's for women, children and dogs

[00:59.23] We know that we just have to play our parts

[01:02.95] And don't nobody give a damn about our broken hearts, yeah

[01:06.68] As a man, we gotta pave our way

[01:10.39] Our only function is to work and slave

[01:14.12] There's no respect for you if you ain't paid

[01:17.31] You're disregarded as a human and you can't complain

[01:20.75] And if you ever make it up and actually reach that place

[01:24.21] And find a woman that you love and give her your last name

[01:28.19] You'll feel the things that you provide is only why she stays

[01:32.17] And when you try to explain, you'll say

[01:35.63] I can't hide myself

[01:39.08] I don't expect you to understand

[01:42.26] I just hope I can explain

[01:45.99] What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)

[01:49.70] It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)

[01:53.42] And they don't care 'bout what you know (Care 'bout what you know)

[01:57.42] It's not 'bout how you feel

[02:00.59] But what you provide inside that home

[02:04.85] Don't give up, keep fightin'

[02:07.24] As a man, our son is our horizon

[02:10.16] And our fathers' actions play a role and we end up like 'em

[02:13.36] So they can't let us see them hurt

[02:15.76] 'Cause we'll embody what they do and start a generational curse

[02:18.94] No wonder most men are so depressed

[02:21.07] All the things that they can't express

[02:22.66] They go to war, get thrown on the shelf

[02:24.51] Then go back to war with their mental health

[02:26.38] Then grab that bottle and ask for help

[02:28.24] Try to pull themselves out of hell

[02:30.09] Then fall back down and then realize

[02:31.69] That they gon' have to do it themselves

[02:33.55] It's the circle of life, as a man, you provide

[02:37.27] They don't know what you're worth 'til the day that you die

[02:40.73] And that's when they start cryin'

[02:43.41] Then move on to a man to confide in

[02:46.86] That's why we feel

[02:48.98] We can't hide ourselves

[02:51.64] We don't expect you to understand

[02:55.10] We just hope we can explain

[02:58.55] What it's like to be a man (What it's like to be a man)

[03:02.80] It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)

[03:05.99] And you don't care 'bout what we know (Care 'bout what we know)

[03:09.44] It's not 'bout how we feel

[03:12.89] But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home)

[03:21.39] That home

[03:25.12] It's not 'bout how we feel

[03:27.51] But what we provide inside that home (Inside that home
